Close the current recording file while recording
Recording files are automatically saved and new ones opened for writing when they reach the configured time
or size limit or when changes are made to the stream. You cannot download files from the device while they are
being recorded, so from time to time you may need to close the current recording to facilitate file downloads.
The device supports this through the recording reset option, which closes the current recording file and opens
a new one without missing any frames.
To close the current recording and start a new file:
1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See Connect to the Admin
Interface .
2. Login as admin.
3. Click the Reset button next to the stop button; the current file is stopped and a new one begins.
