Video profiles
Video profiles contain the same video settings that are available when configuring individual cameras (see Camera settings). Profiles can save you time if you have many cameras that require the same settings. Instead of repeatedly configuring the same settings on every camera, you can configure the profile once, and then simply select it for each camera.
-
Go to Cameras > Profiles.
- Click New.
-
Configure the following settings:
-
Always: Always record video.
-
Schedule: Select and use an existing Schedule Profile. For details, see Scheduled recording.
-
Never: Do not record.
-
Click Add.
To use the profile, select it instead of a camera's individual video settings. For details, see Video recording settings.

| Recording Schedule |
Select whether the camera is recording video and when: |
| Resolution | Select a suitable image resolution: 720P, 1080P, 2K, or 5M. Note: More resolution will reduce the maximum amount of time that can be recorded. |
| Quality |
Select a suitable image quality: Standard, Enhanced, or High. Less quality can increase compression and the maximum amount of time that can be recorded. |
| Motion Only Recording | When enabled, recordings where no motion was detected are only kept for a short period of time. Tip: Enable this option to reduce disk space usage if you do not require continuous recording. |
| Delete Recording | Select whether recordings are deleted when the storage runs out of space, or when the recording is older than a specified number of days. |
| Audio Recording | Enable to turn on the camera's microphone for sound recording. |
