When you configure video and recording, you can specify certain properties for many cameras in one go. In the case of manual recording, it is because the properties are shared by all cameras.
When manual recording is enabled, XProtect Smart Client users with the necessary rights can manually start recording if they see something of interest while viewing live video from a camera which is not already recording. User-driven recording always takes place for a fixed time, for example for five minutes.

Select check box to enable manual recording and specify further details. |
Default duration of manual recording |
Period of time in seconds during which user-driven recording take place. Default duration is 300 seconds, corresponding to five minutes. |
Maximum duration of manual recording |
The maximum allowed period of time for user-driven recording. This maximum is not relevant in connection with manual recording started from XProtect Smart Client, since such manual recording always takes place for a fixed time. In some installations, you can also combine manual recording with third-party applications if integrating these with the system through an API or similar, and in such cases specifying a maximum duration may be relevant. If you are using manual recording in connection with XProtect Smart Client only, disregard this property. |
If manual recording is enabled, this can take place even if recording for individual cameras is set to Never or Conditionally.
