Video Recording

Video recording is a basic function of the client software, where users can choose to record continuously, schedule a recording or setup a recording whenever an alarm is triggered. Under the Scheduled recording option, users can set speciﬁed dates and times. Records will be then saved to the assigned folder path set in the options settings, and will automatically overwrite the earliest ﬁles when the disk is full. The user can set the parameter of how long to keep the ﬁles. For the IP camera with MJPEG format, the client software can compress the saved data into MPEG4 format, which can be used to reduce the usage of space on the disk.
