Screen Video Record/Replay

Use the information in this topic to record or replay remote presence screen videos.

The XClarity Controller web interface provides a DVR-like feature to support recording and playback remote presence screen videos. This function only supports video recording to a network folder. Currently, NFS and CIFS protocols are supported. Below are the steps in using the record and replay function.

  1. On the remote console web page, click Screen Recording to open the settings window.

  2. In the settings window, the following information may need to be specified.

    • If the “CIFS” mount type is selected, specify the Remote Folder, User Name, and Password parameters. The format for the CIFS remote folder is “//<remote IP address>/<folder name>”. For example: //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/folder.
    • If the “NFS” mount type is selected, specify the Remote Folder parameter. The format for the NFS remote folder is “<remote IP address>:/<folder name>”. For example: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/folder.
    • Specify the video file name if necessary. If a file name has already been provided, an error message box will shown. To overwrite the existing file name, choose “Overwrite File Name”. If the “Auto” box is ticked, the video file name will be automatically generated.
    • “Max File Size” denotes the maximum video file size before the video recording will automatically stop.
    • “Max Recording Duration” denotes the maximum video recording duration before the recording will automatically stop.
  3. Click Start Recording to start the video recording.
  4. Click Stop Recording to stop the video recording. A popup window saying “Video Recording Completed” will appear, showing relevant video recording information.
  5. Download the recorded videos from NFS or CIFS to your local folder. In the Remote Console Preview section of the XClarity Controller homepage, click Recorded Videos and select the video file to replay.
