    Hello Doug Yeaman,

    We're about to release 5.1 version where the issue you've faced is fixed. In 5.1 "use camera from event" option will be available for "Camera Recording" event. 

    5.1 version will become available in around 1 month.

    I've downloaded the 5.1 Beta, but I can only see "Also record source camera" option. Is this not available yet for testing?

    Hi Veronika, 5.1 has released and I can't find any setting for "user camera from event". I've tried use from Source, but that doesn't work. Is there still no way to set a single rule to apply to which camera the Soft Trigger is used on?

    Hey Doug Yeaman,

    Sorry I haven't noticed your previous comment. 

    "Also record source camera" is the setting I was referring to. Can you explain in more details why it didn't work for you? What behaviour did you want to achieve? What rule did you create? 

    I created a rule from the screenshot below and it worked out exactly as I understood your desirable result: 

    I'm looking at Camera 1, I click on the Soft Trigger and results in Camera 1 Recording.

    I understand I didn't use Generic Events, but I don't understand why to use them if you want to trigger recording using soft trigger.

    Hey Veronika, Thanks for getting back to me. 

    We are trying to start and stop recordings via soft trigger or via a physical input in some way and the reference link below seems to be the only way to achieve this:

    https://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/articles/216914297-How-to-Start-Stop-Recording-using-Generic-Event-

    The image you sent would work perfect, if it wasn't a fixed duration and there was a way to stop it. The issue with the Generic Event is that it won't apply to the Source Camera, it can't differentiate between cameras as it's a generic event tied to specific source etc.

    I hope this is clear.

    Hello, any update to this or anyone who can help?

    It seems the option specified is not available in v5.1 currently.

    This is a very generic answer and doesn't help in context with Nx Witness.
