Edge recording allows you to use a camera's SD card as the backup storage when connection is unstable. Once the connection resumes, recordings will be automatically retrieved and merged back to Surveillance Station. You can also set up a retrieval schedule to control network bandwidth.

Make sure edge recording is supported with your camera. If not, the tab does not appear in Surveillance Station.
