Connection Monitor
The Connection Monitor function can monitor the network connection between the unit and a
target host on the network. The unit pings the remote machine - that is, sends data packets to
it, at intervals of 15 seconds to determine if the remote machine is accessible and responding.
Edge recording
To prevent loss of video when the connection to a central network video recorder or VMS system
is lost, recorded video clips can be stored on the microSD card inside the edge device. From the
Edge Recording page, the clips can then be downloaded for further processing.
