Configuring edge recording for Axis direct-to-cloud cameras

To store video locally on your device instead of using the default cloud recording profile in Security Center SaaS, you can configure your camera for edge recording. Edge recording offers the possibility to save on storage costs while reducing the uplink bandwidth required to upload all recordings to the cloud.

1. From the Devices page in the Configuration task, select an Axis D2C camera.
   Tip:

   On large systems, use the filters on the Devices page to quickly find a device. For more information, see Filtering and sorting devices.
2. Click the Settings tab in the side pane.
3. In the Video section, from the Recording profile list, select either the default Camera edge recording profile or your own edge recording profile.

   

4. Click Save.
5. In the Video section, confirm that the Recording profile you selected earlier is displayed and that the Recording location is Camera edge.

1. In the sidebar of the Configuration task, click System.
2. From the Recording profiles list, select an edge recording profile.
3. In the recording profile sidebar, click the Cameras tab.
4. Click Associate cameras with profile then search for or select one or more Axis D2C cameras for edge recording.

   

   When selecting cameras to associate with a recording profile, only relevant cameras are shown in the list. For example, only cameras that support edge recording are displayed in an edge recording profile.

   Note:

   For a multisensor camera, each sensor is listed in the camera column as shown for an Axis Q6010-E camera in the following example.

   

   1. If your camera is a multisensor camera, do one of the following:
      • Select all your camera sensors to associate with this recording profile.
      • Select one or more of your camera sensors to associate with this recording profile.
   2. Click Associate cameras.
      Tip:

      If the recording profile settings don’t meet your needs, you can configure custom camera settings without being associated with a recording profile.
5. (Optional) For multisensor cameras, repeat this procedure to select one or more sensors to associate with other edge recording profiles if required.
