Unified Start/Stop Recording Control

User driven start/stop recording on both recorders

With Release 7.5.0, the requirement to create a “special” RMF view in the Smart Client has been removed. RMF now runs in the background within the Smart Client and provides high availability to all native XProtect view windows displaying RMF-licensed cameras. All user-facing native smart client features are preserved.

Start/Stop Recording applies only to the active camera.

Skip the steps below if you are using Release 7.5.0 or later.

Overview

With RMF, a single user-driven start or stop recording action in the Smart Client instantly triggers recording on both the primary and secondary XProtect sites, ensuring redundancy without added complexity.

• One Click, Two Recorders – The command is mirrored to both sites, capturing identical footage from both recorders.

• Built-In Smart Client Integration – This feature is conveniently embedded into each RMF-enabled view window, allowing operators to trigger or stop dual recording directly from the camera tile without navigating menus.

• Resilient Evidence Capture – Ensures no gaps in recording, even if one site fails mid-session, making it ideal for high-security, audit-sensitive environments.

How To

1. Select a camera in live mode from the RMF view.

2. Click the "Start Record" button to begin recording the visible camera.

1. Click the Stop Recording button to end the recording.

1. Go to Playback. You can view and play the manual recording.
