Nx Witness User Manual

Video archiving begins once you enable recording, set image quality parameters, and specify a recording schedule.

! IMPORTANT: FPS and quality settings in the recording schedule dictate live stream settings.

Audio can be recorded as well as image if the device has, or is connected to a microphone, and the Enable Audio checkbox in Device Settings > General > Audio is checked (see "Configuring Audio on a Device"). It is possible set a recording schedule for an I/O module as well (see "Setting Up I/O Modules").

When recording is enabled, Nx Witness automatically seeks an available License or Service. If one is available, the stream from device will be recorded. If not, you will be warned that the License or Service limit is exceeded and only schedule copy will be available.

See Setting a Recording Schedule for details on the scheduling interface.

Recording Indicators in the Resource Panel

When recording is enabled, the device is marked with a small red circle to the left of its name in the Resource Panel:

recording@2x – Indicates camera is recording.

scheduled – Indicates a recording schedule is established but the camera is not recording at the moment; a License or Recording Service is still being used even though the device is not currently recording.

notrecording – Indicates camera is not recording but there a recorded archive is available.

Setting a Motion Detection Region

You can control the image regions that will trigger motion detection, and how sensitive to motion those regions will be (see "Setting up Motion Detection").
