 ## Features
 
 - Listens to events in real-time via the Unifi Protect websocket API
-- Ensures any previous and/or missed events within the retention period are also backed up
+- Ensures any previous and/or missed events within the missing range are also backed up
 - Supports uploading to a [wide range of storage systems using `rclone`](https://rclone.org/overview/)
 - Automatic pruning of old clips
