Recordings across as many drives as you have.
An appliance gives you the bays it shipped with. A PC gives you every drive you can attach — and VISEC can manage recordings across them automatically rather than making you split cameras by hand.
- Several drives, managed for youIn the camera's Storage properties. You are not limited to one disk, and you do not have to allocate cameras to drives manually.
- Grow by adding, not replacingMore archive means another drive, not a new recorder.
- Repair after a bad shutdownFix Files scans for corrupt recordings and attempts a repair — worth running after a power cut.
- Local, alwaysRecordings stay on your drives. Nothing is uploaded and there is no subscription.
Four or five cameras recording on motion fill roughly 500 GB in three to four months. Resolution, frame rate and how busy the scene is move that a long way — how much storage you need works through it, including the settings that let you need less.
You can point recording at a network share, but a local drive is simpler and less likely to drop a write. If the network path disappears mid-recording, that is a hole in the archive — and you will find out about it at the worst possible moment.
Quick answers.
Does it delete old footage automatically?
How the space is used is set in the camera's storage properties, and recordings can span several drives. You decide, rather than the box deciding.
Can I add a drive later?
Yes, that is the point of running it on a PC.
What happens after a power cut?
Run Fix Files, which scans for corrupt recordings and attempts a repair.
Can I use a NAS?
You can, but a local drive is the more reliable choice for the write path.
