The system provides three types of recording, continuous recording (always record), motion detection recording, and schedule recording. Continuous recording will record all images received by the camera to the disk. Motion detection recording will only record images with motion. With scheduling recording, it is possible to configure times when the camera will always record, record by motion detection or event, or not record at all. In most cases, motion detection recording is the most recommended, as it drastically reduces the disk space used.

 

•Always keep recording connection open: Keep the camera recording stream always streaming in case of event recording. This way the recording pre-buffer will work normally. This option is also required to send audio to cameras via the Monitoring Client or through the send audio to cameras event action.
