  • Updated

 

Summary:

Archiving allows a user to save video clips outside of retention and share these clips 
with anyone by sending them a secure link.

Creating and Manipulating Files within the Archive

The Archive allows you to create folders (New Folder) and subfolders in order to organize your saved footage.  

      From the top menu, you can also Upload, Share, Download, Move, Copy, Rename, and Delete files and folders.
