Introduction

Thank you for your interest in IPConfigure’s Orchid Recorder Video Management System. This guide should provide you with everything you need to know as you get started using Orchid Recorder. We’ll begin with an overview of the product and the user guide, then we’ll review the user interface and dive into specific details for viewing and exporting video.

*Beginning in version 23.12, the Orchid Core product name is being replaced by Orchid Recorder. For new users, this will emphasize that the role of the Orchid server is to record all of the video for the system. Existing users will notice that the theme of the user interface will change as different licenses are applied. With just a glance, you will know if the Orchid server is a stand-alone operation, or a registered part of a Fusion or Hybrid system.

What’s New in Version 24.12

Here is the most notable change for Users in Orchid Recorder version 24.12:

• The Player statistics overlay now includes a field to display the camera’s MAC address
