Recording will begin when the start eventoccurs (or earlier if using pre-recording; see the following).Select required stop event. Recording will end when the stop event occurs(or later if using post-recording; see the following).You can store recordings from periods preceding detected motion and/orstart events. Select check box to enable this feature. Specify the requirednumber of seconds in the neighboring column.How does pre- and post-recording work? XProtect Express receivesvideo in a continuous stream from the camera whenever the camera isenabled and scheduled to be online. This is what lets you view live video,but it also means that XProtect Express can easily store received video fora number of seconds in its memory (a.k.a. buffering). If it turns out that thebuffered video is needed for pre- or post-recording, it is automaticallyappended to the recording. If not, it is simply discarded.Specify the number of seconds for which you want to record video frombefore recording start conditions (that is motion or start event) are met.Usually, only some seconds of pre-recording is required, but you canspecify up to 65535 seconds of pre-recording, corresponding to 18 hours,12 minutes and 15 seconds. However, if specifying a very long prerecordingtime, you can potentially run into a scenario where your prerecordingtime spans scheduled or unscheduled archiving (see "Aboutarchiving" on page 118) times. That can be problematic since pre-recordingdoes not work well during archiving.You can store recordings from periods following detected motion and/orstop events. Select check box to enable this feature. Specify the requirednumber of seconds in the neighboring column.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.Click the Open button to configure detailed and/or camera-specific settings(such as event notification, PTZ preset positions, and fisheye view areas)for the selected camera.Click button to select all cameras in the Apply Template column.Click button to clear all selections in the Apply Template column.Apply only a selected value from the template to selected cameras.Tip: To select more than one value press CTRL while selecting.Apply all values from the template to selected cameras.www.milestonesys.com 84 Advanced configuration
Milestone XProtect ® Express 1.1Administrator's ManualManual recordingWhen you configure video and recording (see "About video and recording configuration" on page 75), you canspecify certain properties for many cameras in one go. In the case of Manual recording, it is because theproperties are shared by all cameras.When manual recording is enabled, Smart Client users with the necessary rights (see "Configure user and grouprights" on page 140) can manually start recording if they see something of interest while viewing live video from acamera which is not already recording.If enabled, manual recording can take place even if recording for individual cameras (see "Recording" on page96) is set to Never or Conditionally.When started from the Smart Client, such user-driven recording will always take place for a fixed time, forexample for five minutes.NameEnable manual recordingDefault duration of manualrecordingMaximum duration of manualrecordingDescriptionSelect check box to enable manual recording and specify further details.Period of time (in seconds) during which user-driven recording will takeplace. Default duration is 300 seconds, corresponding to five minutes.Maximum allowed period of time for user-driven recording. This maximumis not relevant in connection with manual recording started from the SmartClient, since such manual recording will always take place for a fixed time.In some installations it is, however, also possible to combine manualrecording with third-party applications if integrating these with XProtectExpress through an API or similar, and in such cases specifying amaximum duration may be relevant. If you are simply using manualrecording in connection with the Smart Client, disregard this property.Frame rate - MJPEGWhen you configure video and recording (see "About video and recording configuration" on page 75), you canspecify certain properties for many cameras in one go. Either in order to speed up things, or because theproperties in question are shared by all cameras rather than being specific to individual cameras.All properties on a white background are editable, properties on a light blue background cannot be edited. Notethat all of the Frame Rate - MJPEG properties can also be specified individually for each camera (see"Recording" on page 96) using MJPEG.Properties in this window:Template and common properties ....................................................................... 85Regular frame rate properties .............................................................................. 86Speedup frame rate properties ............................................................................ 86Template and common propertieswww.milestonesys.com 85 Advanced configuration
