Continuous Recording from Surveillance Cameras

SmartVision is a powerful software solution for surveillance systems that supports continuous video stream recording from any IP cameras compatible with RTSP or HTTP streaming.

The system ensures uninterrupted monitoring without data loss, which is particularly important for high-activity or high-security areas. It is compatible with most modern devices and allows you to record everything happening without missing a moment.

Enabling Continuous Recording

In the IP camera settings, select the "Recording" section to enable and configure continuous recording. On this page, you can adjust the settings for continuous recording to create a video archive. You can enable or disable continuous recording and also choose to record audio from the camera.

Video Recording from an IP Camera

In the "Advanced Options" section, you can set the length of video clips into which the recording will be divided. By default, this is set to 300 seconds (5 minutes), but you can change this interval depending on the stability of your camera and network.
For time-lapse recording, you can set the frames per minute.
By default, it is 2 frames per second, which helps save disk space. The fewer frames per minute, the less memory it will require.

Continuous recording or time-lapse recording does not interfere with event recording, such as when motion is detected. As a result, you will have both full-quality video and a time-lapse with fewer frames for less active scenes.
To save disk space, all recordings are automatically compressed and stored in MP4 format, reducing memory usage but requiring CPU or GPU resources, unlike saving in uncompressed AVI format.
