Ajax apps allow companies* and users to download segments of video recordings from the archive to their smartphones or PCs. Users can select a required range and download a file with corresponding video settings.
The feature is available in apps of the following versions or higher:
- Ajax Security System 2.33 for iOS
- Ajax Security System 2.35 for Android
- Ajax PRO: Tool for Engineers 1.27 for iOS
- Ajax PRO: Tool for Engineers 1.26 for Android

The download is available only for events when an Ajax camera or NVR detects motion or a specific object, the video scenario is executed, or a permanent record is carried out. If the camera is offline or there are no events, it is impossible to download a video.
To use the archive, the hard drive should be connected to the video recorder.
