Everything the cameras kept.
Continuous footage lasts seven days and then it is gone. Stills are forever. This is what forever looks like: time-lapses, harvest records, and the fourteen clips people actually asked us to keep.

What is kept, and what is not.
Continuous footage from all ten cameras sits on a recorder in the farm office for seven days and is then overwritten. That is not a storage limitation we would like to fix. It is the policy, and the recorder is sized to enforce it.
Hourly stills are different. They are small, they are the raw material of every time-lapse here, and they are kept permanently. Roughly nine thousand frames a year across the estate, which at this resolution is a few gigabytes and no ethical problem at all.
The harvest record is kept forever because it is the farm’s own accounting document rather than footage: a weight, a moisture reading, a field name and a date.

Where the archive comes from.
Four cameras take an hourly still. Everything in the archive above came off one of them.
Four things about what we keep.
Stills
Kept permanently, and small enough that this is easy.
Footage
Seven days, then overwritten. Enforced by the size of the recorder.
The harvest record
Kept forever, because it is an accounting document.
Faces
Never indexed, matched or tagged. There is no system that could.
The clips people asked us to keep.
Fourteen of them, ninety seconds each, including the swarm and the badgers.
