With the evidence lock functionality, you can protect video sequences from being deleted, for example while an investigation or trial is ongoing. This protection also covers audio and other data from devices related to the selected cameras.

You can add, edit, and delete evidence locks, but you can also export them and play back video with evidence locks. You can create evidence locks when in playback mode or on the Search tab.

Once an evidence lock is in place, the system prevents the data from being deleted automatically based on the retention time of the system.
