Check the “Upload Video/Snapshot1”. Please note that later on scheduler page this item will be
referred to as “Image 1”. Let’s see the example of video format first – Upload Media Type shall
be Video.
Upload Media To shall be “Local Storage”.
The camera has the capability to buffer up to 3 seconds of video at any time, so that we can
include these 3 seconds of video to the file, to capture the moment right before the event
occurred. With the settings of
Pre-Buffer Time = 3;
Upload Period = 57
the length of the video clip will be 1 minute.
You can freely decide the name of the file. Whatever name you choose, the camera will
automatically append milliseconds in the end. It is recommended to include day code in file name
so that later when the files are downloaded to remote computer, it is easier to pick up the right
video.
For example, you may consider using following file name:
video_%YYYY-%MM-%DD-%hh-%mm-%ss
where %YYYY displays current year, %MM displays current month, %DD displays current day,
%hh displays current hour, %mm displays current minute and %ss displays current second.
Notice! Please note that the camera uses its own date and time settings to write the file
name, so please make sure the camera ’s date and time are correct!
Upload Path can be simply “\”, which means that the files will be saved in root folder of the
storage.
The video source can be either “1” or “2”. If you want to have different video parameters for
remote NVR recording and Local Storage recording, then you may consider adjusting camera ’s
media 1 and media 2 settings accordingly and then choose the right video source in Event
Handler page.
When done, just press “Apply” and move on to the “Event List”, and pick any of the empty spots in
the list of rules to create a new rule. In our example, we pick the rule 3 for setup.
