By default, the system is set to immediately record video from all connected cameras in
both continuous recording and motion recording modes.
When a camera is recording video, the type of recording is indicated by icons in the bot-
tom-left corner of the camera image.
9.1 Video Recording Types
The system supports the following recording types.
You may see one of the following icons:
•
Continuous Recording: The system is recording video constantly. By default, the
system is set to record continuously at all times.
•
Motion Recording: The system has detected motion and is recording the event.
•
Motion Detected — No Recording: The system detected motion, but motion re-
cording is not enabled or a recording schedule has been set to disable motion record-
ing during this time of day.
9.2 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 13.1.6 Configuring Recording Quality, page 53.
9.3 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.
