Name Description
Seconds [of pre-recording]
Specify the number of seconds for which you want to record video
from before recording start conditions (that is motion or start event)
are met. Usually, only some seconds of pre-recording is required,
but you can specify up to 65535 seconds of pre-recording,
corresponding to 18 hours, 12 minutes and 15 seconds. However, if
specifying a very long pre-recording time, you can potentially run
into a scenario where your pre-recording time spans scheduled or
unscheduled archiving (see "About archiving" on page 118) times.
That can be problematic since pre-recording does not work well
during archiving.
Post-recording
You can store recordings from periods following detected motion
and/or stop events. Select check box to enable this feature. Specify
the required number of seconds in the neighboring column.
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.
