  3. Smart recording is newly supported.
    The smart recording feature selects optimal video streams from IP cameras for different recording scenarios. In normal situation, video recording uses streams of lower quality resolution, while in alarm events, it switches to high quality resolution to capture more details. In other words, smart recording effectively avoids the constant storage consumption at all time, but achieves greater storage efficiency and boost recording quality when alarm events happen.
