min/sec manufacturer device id storage rule
<br>
exacqVision files are stored on each drive enabled for recording in a directory structure as follows:
- Year (such as 2018)
- Month (such as 01 for January)
- Date (such as 30 for the 30th)
- Hour (such as 23 for 23:00 or 11 p.m.)

Within each directory, video is stored in files with duration of five minutes. Each device (IP camera, compression board, encoder) has its own files. The file naming convention is as follows: MMSS-XXXXYYZZ.ps and MMSS-XXXXYYZZ.psi. The *.ps file contains the actual compressed video data, and the *.psi file is an index for frame locations within the associated *.ps file. Here is the meaning of each part of the filename:
MMSS is the minutes and seconds which the file begins.
XXXX is the four-hex-digit plug-in ID associated with the recording device. The first X is normally 0, with additional multistreaming contexts incremented up to 7. The remaining three Xs are based on the camera manufacturer, such as 0004 for an eDVR board or 0018 for Arecont.

EXAMPLE:A single-stream Arecont camera would have a plug-in ID of 0018, but a multistream Arecont camera would have plug-in IDs of 0018, 1018, 2018, and so on as high as 7018. Even if a context is deleted, the file will remain on the system as needed.
YY is the device number within the plugin family.
ZZ is the storage rule associated with the video file. The value is 80 if there is no storage rule associated with this video recording.
