What feature does event-triggered recording in Milestone XProtect offer?

Event-triggered recording in Milestone XProtect is designed to enhance the efficiency and relevance of video surveillance by only capturing footage when specific events occur, such as motion detection. This feature is particularly beneficial in a security context, as it allows for the system to conserve storage space and bandwidth by avoiding constant recording when there are no relevant activities.

In contrast to continuous or scheduled recordings that capture video at all times or predetermined intervals, event-triggered recording activates only when a predefined event occurs, ensuring that relevant incidents are recorded without generating excessive amounts of unnecessary footage. Thus, it improves both operational efficiency and the effectiveness of surveillance systems by focusing storage resources on meaningful activities.
