Remarks
The recording management of every video recorder supported by BVMS starts to delete old recordings when the video storage of the recorder gets full, in order to make room for new recordings. Some types of video recorders allow protecting time-ranges from automatic deletion - for example VRM, DVR 5000.

The current implementation of this method supports only the protecting of recordings managed by a VRM. For recordings made by other recorder types the method returns false.
