Creating incident projects (explained)

There are several ways of creating an incident project. Which one is best depends on the following:

• When you discover the incident.
• If you need to solve the ongoing situation on-site and have little to no time to create your incident project.
• If there are no sequences to add to the incident project.
• Your personal preference.

If you need the sequences in an incident project longer than the defined retention time in your XProtect VMS, export the incident project. See Export an incident project.
