Seconds [of post-recording]
Specify the number of seconds for which you want to record video
from after recording stop conditions (that is motion or stop event)
are met. Usually, only some seconds of post-recording is required,
but you can specify up to 65535 seconds of post-recording,
corresponding to 18 hours, 12 minutes and 15 seconds. However, if
specifying a very long post-recording time, you can potentially run
into a scenario where your post-recording time spans scheduled or
unscheduled archiving times. That can be problematic since post-
recording does not work well during archiving.
Properties available in XProtect Enterprise and XProtect Professional only:
Keyframe Only
Select Keyframe only if you want motion detection to take place
only on keyframes of the video stream to reduce the system
resources used on motion detection.
The template can help you configure similar properties quickly. For example, if you have 20 cameras
and you want a particular frame rate on all of them, you can enter it once in the template, and then
apply the template to the 20 cameras.
