Start replication

This command starts the replication process.

To configure the command, perform the following:

1. Configure on-demand replication if replication is performed from the archive (see Configuring data replication). To replicate from the on-board storage (SD card or other storage embedded in the video camera), enable the corresponding object (The Embedded storage object).

2. Select a video camera or a group of cameras to replicate (1). An implicit selection of a video camera is also allowed − Camera that initiated command execution.
   

   Attention!

   If the start of the macro was triggered by the activation of input or output (see Configuring filters for event-driven macros) that is not connected to any camera, you need to select a specific camera here. If you select a group of cameras or a camera that triggered the command, the action will not start.

3. Select an archive file to which video recordings will be replicated (2).

4. Select the replication period (3).

   Option	Description
   Whole period	All missing video recordings made prior to the command start time will be copied.
   Offline periods	The system copies footage recorded to embedded storage (camera's SD card) during offline periods (between consecutive Signal lost and Signal restored events). If no Offset parameter (see paragraph 5) is specified, the replication covers offline footage recorded during the last 24 hours.
   Time schedule	Select a time schedule (see Creating schedules). All recordings made according to the time schedule settings for the last 24 hours prior to the command start time will be copied.
   During:	Set the replication duration in HH:MM:SS. Video recordings from the period [start action, start action + duration] will be copied. An additional Offset parameter can be specified as needed (see 5).
   Finish after	Select one or more end events. All video recordings between the start point (when the action starts) and the end point (when the event is received) will be copied. Important! Replication will not start until the end event is received.

5. Specify Offset(4), if you specified the parameter During: for replication in previous step. Video recordings from the period [start action − offset, start action + duration − offset] will be copied.

To run replication on schedule (corresponding to Time schedule 1), configure the macro as follows:
