How to Manually Begin /Stop Recording

By default, all devices are assigned to the default recording storage and default recording schedule. Therefore, once you included a camera into the NVR's configuration, the VAST Server will begin to record live video according to the default recording schedule. Please refer to How to Edit Recording Schedules on page 89.

However, if you have changed the default schedule, you can manually click Manually Begin Recording to enable a device without setting up a recording schedule. Please follow the instructions below to manually begin recording.

Select the device from the hierarchical device tree under the Default Group, then click Edit > Manually Begin Recording on the menu bar (or right-clickthe device and select Manually Begin Recording). The text on the menu bar will turn into Manually Stop Recording as shown below and the VAST Server will start to record video from the target camera. Please note that its priority will be higher than the recording schedule, and the recording task will continue unless you click on Manually Stop Recording. After you click Manually Stop Recording, the device will then follow the preset recording schedule.
