Continuous Recording and Event Recording
To use event recording, set different values for the Resolution, Frame Rate and Quality of from
those for continuous recording.
Authority
The settings for recording video are made by your organization’s Multi System Administrator
(Multi SA) or by a user with the Modify Configuration right in her account.
A Multi SA can consult View operators, security personnel and IT managers, to find out if:
• The recorded video is satisfactory for the needs of your organization.
• The settings do not shorten the video archive to the point of making it unusable.
Report
The values selected on the Recording tab are also shown on the Video tab.

Estimating Storage Capacity
A unit’s video archive
As higher values for Rate, Resolution and Quality are set, the time that video, audio and data can
be stored in a unit—the video archive—, shortens. The Estimated Storage Capacity reports a
useful forecast (in days) of the length of the video archive. See fig.
5–6.
Length of a unit’s video archive
The Event Recording Duty Cycle can give more precision to the estimate of the unit’s video
archive. Base the duty cycle on how often events and operators will be using the
Event
Recording settings (% of recording time). The estimated length of the video archive is shown next
to the
Event Recording Duty Cycle.
