What is the maximum allowed Pre-Buffer time setting per device when using memory in Milestone XProtect?

In the context of Milestone XProtect, the maximum allowed Pre-Buffer time setting per device is 15 seconds. This setting is designed to enhance the reliability of video recordings by allowing the system to store footage before an event is triggered, which can be particularly important for capturing incidents that may begin before an official recording starts.

Setting the Pre-Buffer time to 15 seconds allows for a substantial amount of footage to be retained before a recording is initiated, which can help ensure that critical moments are not missed. This is vital in security and surveillance applications where timing can be crucial.

While the other options may seem plausible, they do not meet the specifications set forth by Milestone for optimal performance and capabilities. A shorter Pre-Buffer time could limit the amount of useful footage available in rapidly evolving situations, thus the setting of 15 seconds strikes a balance between resource utilization and the ability to capture meaningful content.
