# Storage Parameters

The parameters in this section specify storage settings such as the location and size of storage areas that store video from your cameras.

BaseFilePath

ExpireAge

FilePath

SizeInMB

StorageArea

The `[StorageAreas]` section of the configuration file must contain the `StorageArea` parameter. This specifies the number of storage areas to create, and a name for each. You can set this parameter to a comma-separated list of names, or use numbered parameters as shown below. VMS supports up to 16 cameras and storage areas. The `[StorageAreas]` section can also contain the parameters BaseFilePath and SizeInMB.

The following configuration creates two storage areas, each with a capacity of 20000MB, located in `D:\VideoStorage\area0` and `D:\VideoStorage\area1`.

    [StorageAreas]
    StorageArea0=area0
    StorageArea1=area1
    BaseFilePath=D:\VideoStorage
    SizeInMB=20000

The following configuration produces exactly the same result (but notice that the full path must be specified in the values of the FilePath parameter).

    [StorageAreas]
    StorageArea0=area0
    StorageArea1=area1

    [area0]
    SizeInMB=20000
    FilePath=D:\VideoStorage\area0

    [area1]
    SizeInMB=20000
    FilePath=D:\VideoStorage\area1
