Channel deletion problem
Hey, so after I removed a camera from my NVR, I noticed that the old recordings still seem to be taking up storage space. What do i do to delete them? Also How do I change channel id to make them sequential?

Hi there,
The behavior you're seeing is actually normal. The NVR software, by design, doesn't immediately delete old recordings when a camera is removed. Instead, the system will gradually overwrite the data through regular recording cycle, so the storage spaces will be reused automatically overtime. These leftover files also won't interfere with adding new cameras. Each channel is assigned with a unique and non-reused channel ID, and the NVR doesn't reuse old footage for new devices. If the skipped channel numbers bother you after removing cameras, you cam reinstall the NVR software and re-add the cameras in order. This will reset the channel IDs so they line up sequentially again.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
