Setup
Set up network storage
To store recordings on the network, you need to set up network storage:
1. Go to Settings > System > Storage.
2. Click Setup under Network storage.
3. Enter the IP address of the host server.
4. Enter the name of the shared location on the host server.
5. Move the switch if the share requires a login, and enter username and password.
6. Click Connect.
Add audio to your recording
Edit the stream profile which is used for the recording:
1. Go to Settings > Stream and click Stream profiles.
2. Select the stream profile and click Audio.
3. Select the checkbox and select Include.
4. Click Save.

2. Click on Record once to start recording and one more time to stop recording.
To watch your recording:
1. Click on Storage > Go to recordings.
2. Select your recording in the list and it will play automatically.
Bitrate control
By setting the bitrate control you can manage the bandwidth consumption for your video stream.
Variable bitrate (VBR)
With variable bitrate the bandwidth varies based on the level of activity in the scene. The more activity in the scene, the more
bandwidth is required. This option guarantees that image quality is constant but requires storage margins.
Maximum bitrate (MBR)
The maximum bitrate option allows you to set a target bitrate value to be able to handle system bitrate limitations. To keep the
instantaneous bitrate below the specified target bitrate, there may be a decrease in image quality or the frame rate may decrease.
You have the option to prioritize either image quality or frame rate. It is recommended to configure the target bitrate higher than the
expected bitrate to have margins for additional complexity that needs to be captured.
Average bitrate (ABR)
With average bitrate, the bitrate is automatically adjusted over a longer timescale to meet the specified target and provide the
best quality on the video stream based on available storage. Image quality is decreased uniformly. You can still get good image
quality when there is activity in the scene. The average bitrate option allows you to define the total storage required to store the
video stream for a specified amount of time (retention time) when image quality is adjusted to meet the specified target bitrate.
Specify the average bitrate settings in one of the following ways:
