Rehydrating Video Data

Wasabi Surveillance Cloud (WSC) leverages the WSC Job Manager to integrate with both the Milestone XProtect Smart Client plugin and the Milestone Management Client. This integration enables you to rehydrate video data from Wasabi back to your local storage. This feature can be used for either a single camera or groups of cameras during a specified period.

As an XProtect user, you can either rehydrate video data from the Smart Client or the Management Client, as described below.
