Operations related to recordings, which are created through the /live_streams or /transcoders resources. The Wowza Video service can create MP4 recordings of your live streams and transcoded output. Recordings can be downloaded and saved locally. They're based on the highest-bitrate output rendition that Wowza Video generates from your video source. See About recordings to learn more.
