Recordings and Evidence
Recording is a policy per camera. The options are none, on the platform or on the recorder's own disks, continuous, on a schedule or on events. Footage is browsed on a calendar and a timeline, kept beyond retention, and exported as a signed package with its own offline verifier.
Recording policy
Continuous, scheduled or event driven, full quality or substream, retention from one to ninety days, with the storage cost stated before saving.
Kept footage
A range dragged on the timeline stays until someone with the right permission releases it, even after the camera stops recording.
Signed evidence
A package with its own offline verifier, a reason recorded against the export and an entry in the audit trail.
Recording policy and storage
Storage location, retention, stream and recording mode are set in one dialog. The dialog states the consumption per day and in total before saving, and the storage bar on the recordings page shows the estate total, the daily rate and the day the volume will be full.
Evidence export
An export takes the cameras, a start time, a length and a reason, which is recorded against the export and kept after the package is deleted. The package is signed and carries a verifier that checks it in a current browser, with no account and no connection to the platform. Stored and deleted packages are listed per camera.
- Watermarked screenshots from the live view
- Five minute downloads from the timeline cursor
- Footage held on an existing recorder played back in the same window
Recording timeline
The day is drawn as recorded, kept, deleted or not recorded, and the calendar marks the days with footage. Playback starts at the chosen moment while the footage converts, including footage recorded in newer codecs.
