Auxiliary Archiver

Last update: March 2025

Normally, only one recording stream can be used per camera. However, by utilizing the auxiliary archiver function and setting Stream 2 to "Remote," it is possible to record an additional video stream separate from the regular recording.

An Enterprise Base License is required to use this feature.
Refer to the About the Auxiliary Archiver roles section in the Security Center Administrator Guide 5.13 for detailed information.
 

Scenario: This page explains the procedure for configuring Stream 2 as "Remote" using the auxiliary archiver function and recording the video.

Stream 1 (H.265/HEVC-1) → Standard recording
Stream 2 (H.265/HEVC-2) → Remote recording using the Auxiliary Archiver function
