    13. Setup the needed retention time for your camera

    The retention time could be set by clicking the VSG under the Devices menu > Recording > Recording Management > Retention time section

    In this page you should also see the VRM added in the 2nd step above that manages the recording (in this example VRM: 192.168.1.5)

     

    Useful: Refer to the following article to learn more about retention time:

    15. By clicking on the VSG > Recording > Recording Profiles → you should see that the Recording Status is active (red dot blinking)

    In case the red dot is not blinking, you must click on the play button, next to the Recording Status icon
