5.14.1 Video Recording
The KVMVideo Viewer contains a built-in video recorder and player. The recorder is essentially two
recorders as it can record continuously and persistently.
Continuous recording
The continuous recorder can operate at all times a KVMsession is in progress. It stores KVMvideo in

maximum time or space is exceeded, the oldest periods are deleted.

video file and recording will continue until one of the following occurs:
