Sensor settings in PADS4 allow you to manage how sensor data, images, and incident reports are stored in the database. You can configure storage duration, image handling, and database type for optimal system performance.

​
Configuring Sensor Data Storage

  • Set the retention period for sensor data.
  • Older data is automatically deleted after the specified period.
  • If needed, third-party tools can be used to copy and export database information.

​
Managing Sensor Images

  • Define how long sensor images should be stored.
  • Due to GPRS regulations, image storage can be disabled for privacy compliance.

​
Incident Storage Settings

  • Specify how long incident data (generated by sensors) is retained in the database.
  • After the defined period, incidents will be automatically removed.

​
Database Configuration

​
Default Database

  • SQLite is used by default for storing sensor data.

​
Changing Database Settings

  • The database configuration can be modified using NDS.DataStorage.ConfigurationTool.exe.
  • Location:
    C:\Program Files\NDS\PADS4 Foundation\NDS.DataStorage.ConfigurationTool
  • Alternatively, you can start this tool from the Foundation Configuration Application after installation.
