Recording
By default, the system is set to immediately record video from connected cameras con-
tinuously, 24 hours a day. You can customize the recording settings according to your
needs.
12.1 Video Recording Types
The system supports the following recording types.
•
Recording—Continuous: Normal, continuous recording. A
recording is in progress.
• Recording—Motion: The system records when motion is detected by the camera.
An
icon is shown when motion is detected.
12.2 Main Stream and Sub Stream
The system employs two video recording streams, a Main Stream and a Sub Stream.
Both Main Stream and Sub Stream recording are enabled by default.
The Main Stream records high quality video to your system's hard drive.
The Sub Stream records lower resolution video for efficient streaming to devices over
the Internet. Sub Stream recording must be enabled to view video recordings on a com-
puter or mobile device.
You can configure the video quality parameters for the Main Stream or Sub Stream. For
details, see 16.1.6 Configuring Recording Quality, page 48.
12.3 Setting up Scheduled or Manual Recording
You can set the system to record based on a schedule or you can manually turn record-
ing on and off. By default, the system is set to record on an always on recording
schedule.
To configure the recording schedule, see 16.3.15 Configuring the Video Recording
Schedule, page 65.
To select between scheduled and manual recording:
1. Right-click and then select Manual Control>Record.
2. Under Main Stream, select how the system will record the Main Stream for each
channel.
• Schedule: Main Stream Recording will follow the recording schedule.
• Manual: The system will record the Main Stream continuously as long as this op-
tion is checked.
• Off: The system will not record the Main Stream for this channel. This option is not
recommended.
