Edge Storage
The Edge storage functionality enables uninterrupted recording during network blackouts. The recorder monitors the cameras' online/offline states and gets data for the period when cameras were detected to be offline. The information is stored in the SQL database. In practice, in a network blackout, the video feed can be stored on an SD memory card on the camera.
Once the network connection has been re-established, video is transmitted from the camera’s SD card to the server. Please refer to the camera manufacturer documentation to see what cameras support the feature.
Edge storage must be enabled in the device settings. This feature is configured solely through the camera’s configuration utility. Please refer to the camera’s documentation for instructions on enabling Edge storage.
Edge storage fetching for offline period
When this option is enabled, edge storage fetching is performed in cases where the recorder was not working for a specific time period, and after the recorder starts, it attempts to get data from cameras for the period when the recorder was down.
