Recording Modes and States

Note: The following information is only relevant when using the native recording features of Channel Recorder.

The first time Channel Recorder runs, it has the schedule state. Channel Recorder supports three modes of recordings: schedule, loop and crash.

When a crash recording is running a loop recording can not be started.
When a loop recording is running a crash recording can not be started.
