Note: Enabling door unlock recordings requires a hard disk (HDD) installed in your console.

1. Go to your Access application > Settings > System > Recordings.
2. Door Unlock Recordings: Select to record a video with or without audio every time a door is unlocked, or disable video recording.
3. Duration: Specify the record duration (5 to 10 seconds) per video if you have selected "Video and Audio" or "Only Video".
4. Recording Retention:
   • Auto: Automatically delete some recordings when disk storage is insufficient.
