images at the time of the alarm event itself. Up to 5 minutes of pre- and post-alarm video can 
be stored per event. 
WebCCTV makes a distinction between common activity recordings and pre/post alarm 
recordings. In the way that, alarm recordings have a higher storage priority and will not be 
overwritten by non-alarm recordings. 

 

The WebCCTV is operational even when no live monitoring occurs. While the 
WebCCTV continuously records images from all the cameras, video is transmitted 
from the server to the client 

only

 when an Internet browser is connected to 

WebCCTV and someone is live-viewing images from one or more cameras.
