    I am the Operations Manager and will soon be developing policies around our new DVR /CCTV system.  My question is what are the pros and cons of archiving?  Or do you just let the DVR rewrite?  If you do archive DVR footage how long do you save it 6 months, 1 year???

    Theron,

    We archive only incidents and they are kept online for a quarter.  After that an Administrative Assistant transfers those files to cd and we keep them indefinetly.

    Our DVR has a 30 day capacity then begins to write over the oldest images.  We only save certain incidents like fights, suicide attempts etc.  We save these indefinitly.
