About Live Video Recording

The VA-SW3050 enables you to record live video from cameras in the following four ways.
MEMO:
• The recorded video data is stored on the PC’s hard disk drive. The preferences on storing the
recorded video can be configured in the [DATA Storage] screen (see page 41).
• Set video quality, etc. in normal recording on the [Camera Setting] screen (see page 10).
Note:
• If simultaneously accessing from multiple PCs, alarm recording can only be performed from one.
• Depending on the network environment, PC performance or number of PCs connected, it may not be
possible to record at the designated recording rate.

and after the alarm signal respectively on the
camera’s memory by specifying the recorded video
size. The recorded alarm video is transferred one by

screen to configure the total
alarm video size and the ratio between the pre- and
