Under Analytics, Client the “Action” dropdown and select the Name you just enabled above.

Ensure a Micro SD card is installed to the camera, then go to the Edge recording section. Format the SD card with vfat from the “SD Card Management” tab.
NOTE: Don’t check the “Encrypt entire contents of the SDcard”

In “Record Settings”, Check the box for “Enable Event Record” and select the “Record Source” that exacqVision is currently recording. Set the Pre and Post to 10 seconds.

Under “Offline Record Settings”, set the NVR IP address to which the camera is connected, then set the pre and post-seconds.

Disconnect and re-connect to the camera in in exacqVision on the “Add IP Cameras” page
To confirm that the camera is now storing recordings for exacqVision to request, (back in the camera’s web GUI) go to the Event Download tab. Confirm that there is a new file with the appropriate time stamps..

Note: There must be motion during the downtime to have the camera record to the SD card. The resulting file will be requested by exacqVision after re-connection.

Note:Network loss recording will not be triggered on a Server restart only motion can be triggered for this event.
