Milestone XProtect ® Express 1.1Administrator's ManualNameDescriptionSeconds [of post-recording]Specify the number of seconds for which you want to record video fromafter recording stop conditions (that is motion or stop event) are met.Usually, only some seconds of post-recording is required, but you canspecify up to 65535 seconds of post-recording, corresponding to 18 hours,12 minutes and 15 seconds. However, if specifying a very long postrecordingtime, you can potentially run into a scenario where your postrecordingtime spans scheduled or unscheduled archiving times. That canbe problematic since post-recording does not work well during archiving.The template can help you configure similar properties quickly. For example, if you have 20 cameras and youwant a particular frame rate on all of them, you can simply enter it once in the template, and then apply thetemplate to the 20 cameras.NameApply TemplateSelect AllClear AllApply template on selectedcamerasDescriptionSelect which cameras you want to apply the template for.
