Adding recording profiles

To remove friction during large-scale camera deployments or for consistent configurations across multiple cameras, use recording profiles. Using recording profiles you can specify preconfigured video settings, recording location, and the video retention period.

1. In the Genetec™ Configuration web sidebar, click System and click Add profile.
2. In the Add recording profile dialog, configure the settings.
   1. Enter a name for the profile.
   2. In the Video section, check or update the Resolution, Frame rate, and Maximum bit rate as required.
   3. In the Storage section, specify your preferred recording location:

      Recording location

      Select either Cloud or Camera edge recording.

      Note: The recording location can’t be changed after a profile has been set up.

      Video retention

      Select a retention period from the choices available or click Custom to specify a retention period in days. The maximum video retention period is 1,096 days (3 years).

      

3. Click Add profile.
4. (Optional) Click the recording profile to view or modify the profile Properties or Cameras associated with the profile.
