Recording
12
By default, the system is set to immediately record video from connected cameras contin-
uously, 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
icon is shown when
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 computer
or mobile device.
You can configure the video quality parameters for the Main Stream or Sub Stream. For
details, see 16.1.2 Configuring Recording Quality, page 42.
12.3 Setting up Scheduled or Manual Recording
You can set the system to record based on a schedule or you can manually turn recording
on and off. By default, the system is set to record on an always on recording schedule.
To configure the recording schedule, see 16.3.12 Configuring the Video Recording Sched-
ule, page 59.
To select between scheduled and manual recording:
1. Right-click and then select Manual>Record.
