If multiple streams have been set up on the server, you can temporarily view a different stream by
selecting this from the camera toolbar. On the camera toolbar, click More and then select a stream
from the available list.
Manual recording of video
The functionality of the manual recording feature depends on the surveillance system you are
connected to and on your user rights.
Recording while watching live video is useful if you see something of interest. On the camera toolbar
for the position in the view you want to record, select:

Start recording for # Minutes
Once started, recording will continue for the number of minutes determined by your surveillance
system administrator. You cannot change this, and you cannot stop recording before the specified
number of minutes has passed.

Start manual recording
Once started, recording will continue for the number of minutes determined by your surveillance
system administrator or you can click the icon again to stop manual recording.
Tip: You can start recording the video stream from more than one camera simultaneously, although
you must select them one by one.
About recorded video
You view recorded video on the Playback tab of the XProtect Smart Client. When you select the
Playback tab, the XProtect Smart Client connects to the surveillance system server and displays
recorded video from the cameras in the selected view. In this way, you can play back recorded video.
