Copy Video Files

Menu Location: Settings - Copy Video Files

Copies saved video files to another location. The files can be copied to another directory or drive on your computer or network for mass storage or secondary backup.

You cannot change the primary location where the Video Surveillance WebCam Software saves the video files, you can only copy those files to another location. The primary location where the files are saved are C:\Monitor\VideoFiles. 

If you have a small amount of disk space on the c drive, then only save a few files on the c drive by setting parameter Max Number of Files to a small number. Then Copy Video Files will copy every file created to new location so you will have a very large set of video files at the new location, and retain only a few on the c drive.
