Recording Options

Resolution

: This will let you set which video profile you wish to use to record video. Please 

note that if the bitrate (bps) of the video profile is higher than your Samba network drive’s 

throughput, the recording’s framerate (FPS) may be reduced.

Record until

: You can use this setting to adjust how much free space must remain when 

recording. It is suggested that you set this to at least 32M to allow for enough buffer space 

for the camera to record with.

When storage is full

: When your storage device is full or has reached the free space limit 

specified in Record until, you can choose to stop recording, or you can have the camera 

delete old recordings to free space for new recordings to be saved.

Event Based

: Event based recording will allow you to record video when specific events 

happen.

Motion detection triggered recording: 

Enabling this option will set the camera to record 

video when motion is detected by

 

the camera.

Prerecord

: This will set how many seconds of video before the event takes place will be 

recorded.

Postrecord

: This will set how many seconds of video after the event takes place will be 

recorded.

Example:

 Using motion detection triggered recording and setting Prerecord to 5 seconds 

and Postrecord to 9 seconds, the camera will save video from 5 seconds before motion 

was detected to 9 seconds after motion was detected.

Continuous

: This will set the camera to record continuously.

Scheduled Recording

: This will set the camera to automatically record video during the 

specified times in the table below.

After making any changes, click the 

Save Settings

 button to save your changes, or click the 

Don’t 

Save Settings

 button to discard your changes.
