There are two ways to record a Viviotek camera feed; to a server and locally to the computer.
Server recording lets you record video directly to a server, so anyone with access to that server can also access your recordings. This option is only available if you sign in to LiveClient with your UQ account.
Local recording lets you record a video file directly to the Desktop of the computer you are using. This option is typically used when you have logged in to LiveClient with a room-specific account, though it is available to both user and room-specific accounts.
