We support the following recording types:

Server side motion detection is a recording type which detects motion in the camera's field of view which is then relayed to the server. Bluecherry supports much more fine tuning then typical camera or NVR systems. This includes a grid based system where you can select areas of interest for recording and areas that should never trigger recording along with priority levels.

Constant recording is the most basic recording type. It records footage on the server continually so that you can view your footage as soon as it's recorded.

The Bluecherry client supports a timeline view for quickly searching by date / time.

Trigger based (URL based) recording is when recordings are triggered when a certain URL is requested or from a URL request sent from an external process. This recording type is especially useful when you need to record or view an event from an external service, such as a motion detector.

ONVIF motion triggering is a new recording type currently in beta which utilizes OnVIF motion detection to trigger recordings. This recording type allows you to have more precise control over when you need to record a video, as it detects motion within the camera's field of view and only triggers a recording when the motion is detected.

This recording type creates recordings for both constant and motion detection, which could result in duplicate events and increased disk space. This recording type is especially useful if you are looking to have a backup recording in case the motion detection does not detect a certain event. It is also very helpful if you want to record any activity which may have been missed from the motion detection.

* This method creates recordings for both constant and motion detection, which could result in duplicate events and increased disk space.
