Edge storage

The menu item "Edge storage" is only displayed if supported by the selected camera.

Edge storage uses the camera to store images on an internal storage media (e.g. SD card) to cover connection failures between the camera and the database server. If the connection between the camera and the server is interrupted, recording gaps on the DeviceManager will result.

After the connection is reestablished, the recording gaps on the server can be filled with the recordings from the camera's internal storage media. Time schedules for recording and maximal recording size are taken into consideration.

Both use cases require configuration on the camera. Both use cases require a license which includes edge storage functions.

There are various options to configure edge storage in configuration mode:
