Name Description
Record on
Select under which conditions video from the camera should be
recorded:

Always: Record whenever the camera is enabled (see
"General" on page 87) and scheduled to be online (see
"Online period" on page 135) (the latter allows for time-
based recording).

Never: Never record. Live video will be displayed, but —
since no video is kept in the database —users will not be
able to play back video from the camera.

Motion Detection: Select this to record video in which
motion (see "Motion detection & exclude regions" on page
97) is detected. Unless post-recording (see the following) is
used, recording will stop immediately after the last motion is
detected.

Event: Select this to record video when an event occurs
and until another event occurs. Use of recording on event
requires that events have been defined, and that you select
start and stop events.
Use the Configure events list, located below the other
fields to define events that suit your needs.

Motion Detection and Event: Select this to record video in
which motion is detected, or when an event occurs and until
another event occurs. Remember to select start and stop
events in the neighboring columns.
Pre-recording
You can store recordings from periods preceding detected motion
and/or start events. Select check box to enable this feature. Specify
the required number of seconds in the neighboring column.
Seconds [of pre-recording]
Specify the number of seconds for which you want to record video
from before recording start conditions (that is motion or start event)
are met. Usually, only some seconds of pre-recording is required,
but you can specify up to 65535 seconds of pre-recording,
corresponding to 18 hours, 12 minutes and 15 seconds. However, if
specifying a very long pre-recording time, you can potentially run
into a scenario where your pre-recording time spans scheduled or
unscheduled archiving (see "About archiving" on page 127) times.
That can be problematic since pre-recording does not work well
during archiving.
Post-recording
You can store recordings from periods following detected motion
and/or stop events. Select check box to enable this feature. Specify
the required number of seconds in the neighboring column.
