Recording on video units
2017-06-08Last updated
If you have limited network bandwidth or want to decrease the risk of missing your video recordings, you can record and store your video directly on your video unit's SD card.
Before you begin
Note: This topic
assumes that you have already added your video unit and that your video recordings
are only being stored on the Stratocast™ cloud.
What you should know
When recording video with an edge recording video unit or NAS volume, extensive bandwidth is not required in the Camera
continuous or NAS continuous recording type, because video recordings are not
sent over a WAN (Wide Area Network) or Internet connection—they are stored on the video unit
(SD card) or NAS volume.
Note: A secure internet connection with the appropriate bandwidth
is required to view live video and stream playback video on demand.
Edge recording on video encoders is only supported for video encoders with a single channel input. As a result, if you have a video encoder that has multiple cameras connected to it, you cannot record on your video encoder's storage device; you must select one of the available cloud storage recording types.
