Restart recording to a new file

Recordings are automatically saved to a file and a new recording is started when:

• The recording reaches the configured time or size limit.
• The channel (or recorder on Pearl-2, Pearl Mini, and Pearl Nexus) name is changed.
• Changes are made to the stream if recording and streaming the channel.

You can manually force a recording that's in progress to save to a file and continue recording in a new file from that point forward without any loss of content. This is useful if you need to download a recording since you cannot download recordings that are in progress.

Restart recording to a new file using the Admin panel

1. Login to the Admin panel as admin, see Connect to the Admin panel.
2. Pearl-2, Pearl Mini, and Pearl Nexus - Open the Recording page. Do one of the following:

   • For a recorder, select a recorder from the Multitrack recorders menu.

3. Select Reset to stop the current recording and start a new recording.
4. Refresh the page to see the updated list of recordings.
