Tips: If the size of the recorded files is too large for the available storage space, try the following:. Select a profile with lower resolution, lower frame rate or higher compression.
For how to record manually, see Record manually. A rule can have several triggers. See Action rules. If using a rule to configure motion recording, ensure to disable motion recording to avoid duplicate recordings. Failover recording can be enabled on a camera with an SD card and firmware 5. Failover recording will only affect H. Once you have enabled failover recording, the camera automatically starts recording onto the SD card when the connection with AXIS Camera Station is lost and can't be reestablished within 10 seconds.
When connection is restored, the failover recording is imported to AXIS Camera Station and marked with a dark grey color in the timeline. The camera will try to compensate for the 10 seconds delay before the failover recording is triggered by storing the last 10 seconds of a stream in its internal memory.
Short gaps about 1 - 4 seconds might still appear. AXIS Camera Station continuously requests recording stream from the camera and processes it on the server side. In case of disconnection for more than 10 seconds, failover recording will be triggered and the camera will continuously record to the SD card until connection is restored or the SD card becomes full.
In case of disconnection for more than 10 seconds when motion recording is not ongoing, failover recording will not be realized even if motion is detected afterwards when the camera is still disconnected.
In case of disconnection for more than 10 seconds when motion recording is ongoing, failover recording will be triggered and the camera will continuously record to the SD card until connection is restored or the SD card becomes full.
Once you have turned on fallback recording, the device automatically starts a continuous recording with medium streaming profile on the recorder when the connection between AXIS Camera Station and the recorder is lost. To turn on fallback recording, make sure that AXIS S Recorder and the devices have been added and the recorder has been configured as recording storage for the device.
