Hello, we have unit tests that rely on downloading video for a predefined time period. Is there a way for preventing video for a certain time frame from being deleted? This ideally should not be dependent on retention time setting for the recording server.

Thank you very much.

I believe what you seek is Evidence Lock.

Thank you, Bo. I have XProtect Essential+ and I don’t see the Evidence lock option to the right of the timeline as explained in the documentation. Is Evidence Lock available in XProtect Essential+?

Evidence Lock is available for XProtect Corporate exclusively.

When you do not have this functionality I am afraid that I do not see a workaround. I do not see a way to preventing the video from being deleted except setting the retention.
