Configuration preset considerations
Configuration presets that contain the
channels
configuration group specify the channels in the preset by
their index number. This means if you have channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 when you save your preset, applying that
preset will overwrite the configuration of your current channels with indexes 1, 2, 3 and 4. If prior to applying
that preset you also had channels with indexes 5 and 6, the configuration settings for those two channels are
erased when the preset is applied (because the preset only has 4 channels).
There are three areas where channel (and recorder) index numbers affect what happens when applying
configuration presets. Read
Recording and streaming statesRecorded files in channels and recorders
Deleting channels and recordings
Recording and streaming states
section of this chapter shows that each channel and recorder's recording and
streaming state is included in the
channels
configuration group. This means that if a channel is streaming or
a channel (or recorder) is recording at the time you create a configuration preset, it will immediately start
recording (or streaming) when you apply that preset. Similarly, if a configuration preset is saved when
channels or recorders are not recording (or streaming), those channels and recorders will not be recording
(streaming) when the preset is applied.
This means a channel or recorder may stop recording or streaming as a result of applying the
preset.
For example, when applying a preset with channel 3 set to record (the same example applies for streaming):
l
If channel 3 exists prior to applying the preset and is already recording, the file will continue recording
uninterrupted unless the recording file type is different in the preset (in which case a new file is started).
l
If channel 3 exists prior to applying the preset and is not already recording, it immediately begins
recording.
l
If no channel with index 3 exists prior to applying the preset, the channel is created and it immediately
begins recording.
Recorded files in channels and recorders
Channels and recorders keep a list of files recorded in their
Recordings
section of the Admin panel. These
files remain on the system even if the channel or recorder configuration is changed or removed as a result of
applying a configuration preset.
For example, prior to applying your configuration preset, you have channels with indexes 1, 2 and 3; each of
these has five recording files. When you apply a configuration preset that has channels with index 1 and 2
only, you'll notice those channels each still have the same 5 recording files.
Channel
with index 3 is no longer
present, but the files are not lost!
