Reolink RLC-511 stops recording to FTP when FTP drive is full

[scott_160733223481503]

Thank you all for any help you can provide.

My router supports plugging a drive into it and allows access to it via ftp. I have successfully got the camera to connect to the drive on the router via ftp and upload videos.

However, when the drive on the router is full the camera no longer uploads new files to the ftp drive. Is there a way for the camera to delete old files on the ftp when full so it can carry on uploading new files?

I have looked for a setting in the ftp section of the software to do this but cannot see one.

Basically I want it to work the same way it does with the internal sd card in the camera that overwrites old files when full.

Thanks again for any help

Scott.

I FTP files to my desktop computer. In order to keep from filling up the hard drive, I run a Windows batch script every day to delete files older than a certain number of days. Here's what it looks like:
