Recording options
On the camera Recording page, you can congure the following:
1. Congure the duration of camera events, for the concern that camera can be too
frequently triggered.
2. Enter the Pre- and Post-event recording time. The triggering events can be DI,
DO, Motion detection, PIR, or Tampering detection.
3. The default recording stream is Stream 1, and the system automatically adjusts
the frame rate, resolution, etc. for optimum performance. However, you can still
change the streaming characteristics. Note that you can not assign the recording
task to other video stream.
4. Watermark password: Congure a password in a length of 16 to 64 characters.
You can use it to verify the authenticity of exported videos using the included video
player.
Select File > Verify Watermark.
Enter the password to verify. If the
Not match value is 0, the video is the
original and has not been tampered
with.
