  • Scheduled Recording: Set specific times and days for the camera to record.
  • Alarm Recording: Records only when motion is detected.
• NVR/FTP Recording: The camera supports recording to Network Video Recorders (NVRs) or FTP servers (e.g., NAS or HDD connected to a router) for extended storage and management. Refer to your NVR or FTP software documentation for integration.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your TENVIS TA702D camera.
