— Recording
You can record video from cameras connected to devices registered in the NVR system and iNEX program
provides three types of recording: Time-Lapse Recording, Event-Based Recording (Event and Pre-Event)
and Instant Recording. During Time-Lapse recording or Event-Based recording, the system performs
recording based on the settings of schedule Presets during the scheduled time. Instant recording can be
manually started or stopped while monitoring video.
When more than one recording mode is set up for the same period, the iNEX program records video with
the recording settings of the highest priority recording mode. The priority order of recording modes is as
follows: Pre-Event recording (lowest) → Time-Lapse recording or Event recording → Instant recording
(highest). In the same recording mode or between the Time-Lapse recording and Event recording mode,
the schedule higher up the list in the
Schedule Setup
window has priority over the other schedules. You
can change a schedule’s priority by changing its position in the schedule list.
First, check the following and run the Setup program.
The NVR system should be running.
Devices should be added to a device group. Refer to
Chapter 12
— Device Management
(p. 89) for
details.
NOTE:
Recording is not supported for DVRs.
6.1 Setting up Recording Schedule
Go to the
Start
Menu → Click
iNEX
→ Run the
iNEX Setup
program → Select the
Recording
Schedule
menu, and set up the recording schedule following the procedures below.
NOTES:
The recording function is supported only for the device registered as the
admin
user.
If the same device is registered on another NVR system, only the first NVR system that is connected to
the device records video. Once a NVR system connects to the device, other NVR systems will not record
video from the device unless the connection of the first NVR system is released.
The iNEX program performs recording with the settings of codec, resolution, frame rate and quality set
in the device if the device uses protocols other than iNEX or ONVIF
TM
Conformance.
If the device uses the ONVIF
TM
Conformance protocol, the iNEX program performs recording with the
settings of the profile designated in the iNEX program among preset profiles. You can designate which
profile to use for recording when editing the device settings. Refer to
12.2 Managing Devices, Editing
Device Information
(p. 93) and
12.3 Remote Setup of ONVIF
TM
Conformance Protocol Devices, Profiles
(p. 102) for details.
When the recording speed and resolution set in the iNEX program are higher than the
Frame Rate
and
Max. Resolution
set on the device, the NVR system will record video at the
Frame Rate
and
Max. Resolution
set on the device (four-channel network video transmitters only which use the iNEX protocol).
If network connection is temporarily lost between the device and the NVR system because of network
problems or NVR system reboot, the device saves video temporarily while the network is down (supported
only for devices which use the iNEX protocol). When network connection is re-established, the device
transmits the saved video to the NVR system at a time. In this case, video recording during the period
might be made with different settings from those in the recording schedule.
Recording speed might be decreased depending on the network conditions or system performance.
Recording might be delayed because of system congestion, and the recording OSD might be displayed
later or for longer than the scheduled time.
