Viewing and recording

Event history is not the same as a saved video

The short answer

An event records that something was detected; video depends on a separate recording outcome. Match the event timestamp to a real, playable local file.

Work through the checks

  1. Check both computer time and camera time, including time zone and synchronization settings. ONVIF authentication and event ordering can be affected by clock differences.

  2. Match an event entry to the camera, timestamp and any linked local media. An event is metadata; its presence does not guarantee that a complete video clip was saved.

  3. Check the actual recording volume, available space and write permission. Confirm the folder belongs to the intended disk rather than an unavailable USB drive or a redirected system folder.

  4. If recording is available in the installed build, capture a short authorized test event. Confirm a new local file is created, grows as expected and can be reopened after recording stops.

What to verify

Reopen a completed test clip and seek to a known event time if the player permits seeking. Confirm moving images, duration and camera identity; a thumbnail or event row alone is insufficient.
