      - Adding recording profiles
        To simplify large-scale camera deployments and ensure consistent configurations across multiple cameras, you can use recording profiles to specify video, storage, and retention settings.
      - Associating cameras with a recording profile
        To simplify camera enrollment, you can use recording profiles to apply the same video and storage settings to multiple cameras at once.
      - Modifying recording profiles
        To address a change in camera configuration requirements, you can modify a recording profile. For example, to change the profile name, video settings, or the video retention period.
      - Configuring edge recording on an Axis direct-to-cloud camera
        To store video locally on your Axis direct-to-cloud (D2C) camera, you can associate it to an edge recording profile. Edge recording can help you save on storage costs while reducing the uplink bandwidth required to upload all recordings to the cloud.

      - Configuring sensor-specific custom camera settings
        To use different camera settings for each sensor that aren't available when using custom camera settings for all sensors on a multisensor camera, you can configure sensor-specific camera settings.
      - Keeping camera features up-to-date
        To access new features after a camera’s configuration changes or when they become available as part of a system or firmware update, you must manually synchronize the camera.

Configuring custom camera settings

2026-07-09

To use camera options that recording profiles for multi-camera deployments do not offer, you can configure custom camera-specific settings.

What you should know

Using custom settings on a camera disassociates it from a recording profile.

Procedure

From the Devices page of the Configuration task, select a camera.
Click the Settings tab in the side pane.
In the Video section, from the Recording profile list, select Custom.

Note:
Cameras configured using the Custom settings option aren’t displayed in the Recording profiles list because the custom settings only apply to the selected camera.
Customize the video settings as required.
Click Save.
