The functions “protect/unprotect video” and “lock/unlock video” can be performed by authorized users.

See also “Action rights” in chapter User management in ibaCapture.

Protected video will be overwritten less frequently than normal video. Locked videos can be viewed only by users who have this right. User management must be enabled for locked video to have effect.

In order to protect or lock a particular video sequence, you first need to specify a time range using the time markers as described in the previous chapter.

Then, click the command icon in the ribbon for the desired function or open the context menu of the timeline and select the desired function.

A dialog opens where you can select the cameras for which the function is to be performed. From a tree structure you can select one of the cameras that are shown in the camera view. By default, all cameras selected in the camera view are checked.

In the Time range line, the relevant time range is shown corresponding to the marker positions. For the "Protect video" function, you can additionally enter a sequence name.

Locked sequences are displayed violet, protected sequences are colored green.

Protected recordings created automatically via video trigger remain unaffected by the Unprotect function.

If a user selects a camera, but is not authorized to perform the desired function for this particular camera, an error message appears, the camera icon turns red and the dialog remains open.
