Summary

Combining central recording in recording servers with recording in the camera’s Edge Storage provides many benefits in surveillance installations:

• Leave recordings on the camera until they are needed, conserving network bandwidth and resources on the recording server

• Postpone retrieval of recordings to off-peak hours, conserving network bandwidth for other usage

• Increase system reliability over unstable connections like, for instance, wireless networks

• Provide additional recording redundancy during system failures or maintenance downtime

• Supply a superior solution for handling recordings from mobile units that go in and out of network coverage

With Milestone XProtect VMS products, Edge Storage is simple to configure and use, and once enabled, provides the users with seamless access to recordings regardless of whether they have been recorded by the recording server or initially saved on the camera's Edge Storage.
