Local archive - is a storage method where video recordings are stored on:
- SD card installed in an IP camera;
- HDD in a video recorder (DVR/NVR);
- HDD on a PC running the Ivideon Server application.
Please note: the retention period for a local archive depends on the capacity of the SD card or hard drive. For more details, see: How much free space should I have to store local archive?
Recording to a local archive does not require the camera to have constant internet access. You can view local archive recordings:
1. Remotely via our service (provided the device is linked to an account and has internet access).
2. Locally:
- Via the web interface of the camera or recorder itself;
- In the Ivideon Client application for PC (provided the cameras are connected to Ivideon Server and local viewing is configured).
