6.6.6 Recording Tab (Encoder Mode)
This tab provides access to the settings and controls for configuring and
making a recording of the primary broadcast stream to a local or network
storage location. When recording is enabled, the stream is saved as a *.mp4
file, encoded with the same settings as the primary stream, to one of three
possible target destinations: USB storage, network storage using NFS, or
network storage using CIFS. The file will be placed within an automatically
named folder structure based on the current date and time of the recording
to facilitate easy sorting and file management. It is also possible to set up
automatic daily recording times based on a repeating weekly schedule
structure.
1) Recording:
This section provides configuration options for recording.
Pressing the “Save” button will update and activate the associated
settings.
Record:
Click on the toggle switch to enable or disable recording the
primary video stream. When enabled, recording will begin immediately
to the selected storage location.
Note: HDCP encrypted sources cannot be recorded.
Storage:
Use the drop-down to select the storage target to use when
recording. Available choices are: Auto, USB (USB storage), NFS (NFS
based network storage), and CIFS (CIFS based network storage).
Selecting “Auto” will use the first available valid storage location using
the following priority order: NFS > CIFS > USB.
Overwrite:
Enables or disables the file overwrite function. When
enabled, the unit will automatically delete older recordings, when
space runs out on the selected storage location, to make room for new
recordings.
Status:
Displays the current recording status.
