When you move a camera to another recorder on 2016 corporate and choose not to move the old recordings, do you then lose that recorded video?

Hi David,

I guess you have followed the Move hardware (wizard) as described in page 97 of our Administrator´s Manual (2016 R3).

New recordings will go to the new recording server. Old ones should stay.

Just note that if you have an interconnected system, you must manually synchronize the central site after moving hardware on a remote site to reflect the changes made at the remote site.

The recordings on the old recording server remain there until:

  1. The system deletes them when the retention time expires. Recordings that someone has protected with Evidence Lock (see “About evidence lock” on page 230) is not deleted until the evidence lock’s retention time expires. You define the retention time for evidence locks when you create them. Potentially the retention time never expires.
  2. You delete them from each device’s new recording server on the Record tab.

If you try to remove a recording server that still contains recordings, you receive a warning.

Also note that if you move hardware to a recording server that currently has no hardware added to it, the client users must log out and log in to receive data from the devices.
