I have IP camera as live stream source, and i am able to successfully configure nDVR with it

is it possible to do only motion based recording with nDVR? or at least TAG the time-spans where movement is taking place.

How can we extend or integrate this functionality and invoke custom actions when there is a motion

Thanks

Hi,

No, there is not any motion based recording feature in Wowza nDVR. I can see that more as a possible future feature involving the Wowza Transcoder, but have not heard of any plans like that.
