Video archiving begins once you enable recording, set image quality parameters, and specify a weekly recording schedule.
IMPORTANT: FPS and quality settings in the recording schedule dictate live stream settings.
Audio can be recorded as well as image if the device has or is connected to a microphone, and the "Enable Audio" checkbox in Device Settings > General > Audio is checked (see "Configuring Audio on a Device"). It is possible set a recording schedule for an I/O module as well (see "Setting Up I/O Modules").
When recording is enabled, DW Spectrum automatically seeks an available license. If one is available, the stream from device will be recorded. If not, you will be warned that the license limit is exceeded. Although you can still configure a recording schedule and modes, the device will not be recorded.
Recording indicators in the Resource Tree
When recording is enabled, the device is marked with a small red circle to the left of its name in the Resource Tree:
– indicates camera is recording
– indicates a recording schedule is established but the camera is not recording at the moment. Note that a license is still being used even though the device is not currently recording.
Setting a motion detection region
You can control the image regions that will trigger motion detection, and how sensitive to motion those regions will be (see "Setting up Motion Detection").
