Recording Policy

This page allows user to set up recording policy for linked cameras. By default setting, all

inserted cameras are assigned to the default recording schedule (always), default recording

type (continuous mode), and default recording policy (save continuous recording for 30days).

Therefore, once you insert a camera to the Network Video Recorder, it begins to record live

video continuously and save “30 days” of recorded videos. You may go to History page to

retrieve the videos.

For example:

The user adds a VIVOTEK IP8162 camera to NR8201/8301. Following pictures shows the

default settings:

■

Configuration > Device

■

Configuration > Recording Policy

■ Recorded video clips on
