Recording

Introduction to recording

Images can be recorded to an appropriately configured
for devices with an SD slot, locally to an SD card.
SD cards are the ideal solution for shorter storage times
and temporary recordings. They can be used for local
alarm recording or to improve the overall reliability of
video recording.
Two recording tracks are available (Recording 1 and
Recording 2). The encoder streams and profiles can be
selected for each of these tracks for both standard and
alarm recordings.
Ten recording profiles are available where these
recording tracks can be defined differently. These
profiles are then used for building schedules.
