This command starts the replication process. To configure the command, do the following:

  1. Configure on-demand replication (see Configuring data replication) if replication is performed from the archive. To replicate from the embedded storage of a camera, enable the corresponding object (The Embedded storage object).

  2. Select a camera or a group of cameras to replicate (1). An implicit selection of a camera is also allowed—Camera that initiated command execution (see Configuring start conditions).

    If the start of the macro was triggered by an event from an input or output (see Configuring start conditions) that is not connected to any camera, you need to select a specific camera here. If you select a group of cameras or a camera that initiated the command, the action doesn't start.

  3. Select an archive to which videos will be replicated (2).

  4. Select the replication period (3).

    Option

    Description

    Whole period

    All missing videos made prior to the command start time are copied

    Offline periods

    The system videos recorded to embedded storage during offline periods (between consecutive Signal lost and Signal restored events). If no Offset parameter (see step 5) is specified, the replication covers all corresponding intervals over the last 24 hours

    Time schedule

    Select a time schedule (see Creating schedules). All videos made according to the time schedule settings for the last 24 hours prior to the command start time are copied

    During

    Set the replication duration in HH:MM:SS. Videos from the period [start action, start action + duration] are copied. An additional Offset parameter can be specified as needed (see step 5)

    Finish after

    Select one or more end events. All videos between the start point (when the action starts) and the end point (when the event is received) are copied. 
    Attention! Replication will not start until the end event is received

  5. Specify Offset (4), if you specified the During parameter for replication in previous step. Videos from the period [start action − offset, start action + duration − offset] are copied.

To run replication on schedule (corresponding to Time schedule 1), configure the macro as follows:
