Maximum Saved Content Size (MB)

Defines the default maximum size on disk for saving uploaded recordings. When recordings grow larger than the specified size, the device deletes the oldest recordings.

The default setting of 20,000 MB (20 GB) for the EchoSystem Capture Appliance and Classroom Capture is the maximum you can specify. It is typically enough storage to keep the most recent 25 hours of capture locally.

For the EchoSystem SafeCapture HD, you can specify a default maximum size of up to 120,000 MB (120 GB). This allows you to store about 40 hours of content recorded on Extreme HD settings.
