# ExpireAge

The `ExpireAge` parameter specifies the amount of time for which archived video can be retrieved. After this time, the archived video is considered expired and VMS rejects attempts to access it. If you do not set this parameter, video in a storage area can be accessed until it is overwritten.

Type: | Time Duration The value of this parameter is a time duration. Specify the duration in the following format:
         1years 2months 3weeks 4days 5hours 6minutes 7.8seconds
You can omit any of the individual durations when they are not required:
         6minutes 7seconds
You can also shorten the string by abbreviating the units to their first letter (months abbreviates to m, minutes to n):
         6n 7s
If you want to specify the value in seconds, no units are required:
         60
The following are all equivalent:
         1minute 3seconds
         1n 3s
         63s
         63
