Managing recordings saved to an FTP server raises an important question: can they be overwritten? This capability significantly influences storage management and data retention strategies. Let's delve into the implications of this feature.
The answer is YES.
Step 1. Launch Reolink client and log in to your device, go to Device Setting > Surveillance > FTP page, and then click FTP Setting.
Step 2. Change the Overwrite File setting, and then click Save.
- No: It will not overwrite files.
- Overwrite Single File: It only retains the latest file.
- Alternately Overwrite Two Files: This option will generate temporary files.
Note: If you find that your model does not have the Overwrite File option, please first upgrade the firmware to the latest version available on the official website. If you still do not see this interface or if your camera's firmware is not available in the firmware center, then this model does not support FTP overwrite feature.
