The IP Camera Viewer allows you to record the video in the “.AVI” files. There are two ways of video recording – Manual Recording and Schedule Recording.

You can manually record the video stream into an assigned video file.

Click “Record”, then the IP Camera Viewer will start to record the video stream. You can assign the path in the setting dialog.(please see section 7.8.4) Clicking “Stop” will stop recording.

Note: Before manual recording, you have to click the camera button to select the IP Camera that you want to record first and make sure that the IP Camera Viewer is successfully connecting to the IP Camera.

Schedule Recording

You can assign a schedule and let the IP Camera Viewer recording the video stream automatically. Please refer to Section 7.8 to see how to setup schedule for the recording. The file name of the recorded video file is the start time of recording. For example, the file name “IPCamera_2006-10-8-23-56-40.avi” means it was recorded at 2006/10/8 23:56:40.
