Recording is the process of capture of video stream from camera to file. The program is able to record video from your IP or webcam, and save it to xVid format. The output files have .AVI extension.
Why do you need video recording? As you may already know, the program starts video capture if it detects movement in the monitored area. Recorded video files along with snapshots are used as an evidence of intrusion to your domain.
At the same time there is another good use of this function. You can record what's going on in your home/office/shop when you are away. What your children are doing? And what about employees? Bad about? How do they serve customers?
If you are using the program as a movement detector at night, why do not use it as a video recorder during business hours! It will record everything what's happening on work, and you can watch the recordings later.
