Name Description
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.
Seconds [of post-recording]
Specify the number of seconds for which you want to record video
from after recording stop conditions (that is motion or stop event)
are met. Usually, only some seconds of post-recording is required,
but you can specify up to 65535 seconds of post-recording,
corresponding to 18 hours, 12 minutes and 15 seconds. However, if
specifying a very long post-recording time, you can potentially run
into a scenario where your post-recording time spans scheduled or
unscheduled archiving times. That can be problematic since post-
recording does not work well during archiving.

Manual recording
When you configure video and recording (see "About video and recording configuration" on page 63),
you can specify certain properties for many cameras in one go. In the case of manual recording, it is
because the properties are shared by all cameras.
When manual recording is enabled, XProtect Smart Client users with the necessary rights can
manually start recording if they see something of interest while viewing live video from a camera which
is not already recording.
If enabled, manual recording can take place even if recording for individual cameras (see "Recording"
on page 89) is set to Never or Conditionally.
When started from XProtect Smart Client, such user-driven recording always takes place for a fixed
time, for example for five minutes.
