How Does Smart Recording Work?

Couldn't be easier.
Each of the transport streams or OTT information that is set to be recorded is continuously recorded in a cyclic mode, using the First In First Out method (FIFO), meaning that at any given moment the platform holds the last relevant information prior to a potential event.
Once an event with the proper severity is detected and triggered, its source information is saved outside of the FIFO storage and is no longer being recorded over.
The platform then exports the saved recording to an external FTP. Once the transfer of an event has been completed, the saved event storage is released and can be used for the cyclic FIFO recording again.
