Record Service provides the ability to record an MPEG-2 Live Channel into an Archive either continuously creating files
of a fixed duration, or manually recording a specific event. Alternatively, recordings can be scheduled to happen at particular times
and dates.
NOTE:
If recording to an archive on a drive with less than 40GB space, Vision
2
will refuse to enable the record service until this issue
is resolved. If drive space falls below this limit while recording is taking place, the service will continue to write to the disk until all disk
space is consumed. A warning will be received when a record service is enabled if the drive space is less than 150GB. The amount of
space remaining can be viewed on the drive in the Archive > Configure Archive screen.
The record service has the following limitations:
Continuous and manual records under 1 minute in duration are not saved.
The Record service can only use Archives on the same server as the Record service or on a NAS.
The Record service needs an audio track to function correctly. If recording a CCTV camera, audio on the camera will need
to be enabled to create an audio track even if there is no microphone on the camera.
Producer channels can not be recorded.
Configuration
The following page appears (FIG. 93)when

Recording Settings Options
NIC
The IP address of the Network interface card from which to record. If the Live
Channel you wish record is multicast on a different NIC, this setting will need to
change.
Recording type
This can be either Continuous, Manual, or Scheduled. Continuous recordings
create a new recording in the Archive at specific intervals according to the value
defined in the Segment length option. Manual recordings require the user to
actually start and stop the recording process themselves.
Segment length
This value defines the length of each continuous recording. Available options are
15, 30, and 60 minutes.
