Hi Everybody,
I've got a small Hikvision setup at home. Five DS-2CD2342WD-I cameras and iVMS-4200 running on a dedicated Win7 machine.
It has been a most reliable setup and has provided evidence for various incidents over the last four years. I have it set up for Event Recording with a 3TB RAID1 array.
One thing that I have never been able to sort out, is to get pre-recording working for camera initiated events. It doesn't seem to matter how I set up the Storage Schedule, I cannot seem to get recordings to start "pre event".
I presume that when you set up a pre-record time, there is a buffer for that length of time so that when an event is activated the recording starts from the start of the buffer.
Can anyone shed any light on how this works?
Michael.
