Video Export
Export Video from the recorder that has content during the export window
Export Steps
Case 1: No recording gaps during the export window
If there are no recording gaps in the playback timeline of the serving recorder that coincide with the time window needed for export (t0 to t1, below), one may proceed with exporting the footage.
Case 2: Recording gap during the export window
The following steps are recommended when exporting content from the Smart Client while viewing a camera through the RMF plugin, particularly when the recorder providing the content has a recording gap that overlaps with the time window required for export.
Both have gaps
If both the serving recorder and the backup recorder have gaps, then
If this camera supports Edge recording and the 'Restore from the Edge' feature is enabled, wait for the missing content to be restored onto either recorder before exporting.
If there is no edge recording, the best we can do at this moment is to export the duplicate camera footage from both recorders.
Upcoming RMF releases support bidirectional backfill, rendering the aforementioned forced failover unnecessary. However, the best way to prevent missing content is always to utilize edge recording and enable 'Restore from Edge.'
