1 Important
:
An Onboard Recording Schedule must be created for the camera in order for it to start recording.
Onboard Recording features
Multiple viewing options
View recorded video on the
local network (i.e., the same
network as the camera)
or remotely using a computer,
smartphone, or tablet.
Activity timeline
System events, such as Video Analytic-triggered clips,
are noted in the playback timeline on the Customer
Website.
Rolling recordings
The oldest video content on the card is
automatically
deleted
to make room for new recordings.
Data encryption
Recorded video is encrypted and can only be
viewed
when the SD card is in the camera that recorded
the video.
When a brand new Onboard Recording rule is created
for a camera, the camera
formats the micro SD card.
This deletes
all data stored on the card including
any
video recordings from a camera that may have been
previously used with the card.
Localized recordings
Each micro SD card records the video footage from the
camera it is inserted into.
The card can be removed from a camera and placed
back in that same camera at a later date. The original
data will be retained
until the card is full and the oldest
data is deleted to make room for the new recordings
provided the card does not have data from other devices
after being removed from the camera.
