BVMS Operator Client - Start Manual Recording button for VRM cameras




Question

What is the functionality of the Start Manual Recording button of VRM Camera Cameo in BVMS Operator Client?

Answer

Clicking the Start Manual Recording button for a VRM camera is actually an alarm trigger. If an alarm recording is configured for this camera, once the button is clicked an alarm recording will be made for the duration of the button click and the configured pre and post alarm time.
