Troubleshooting

Recording appears active but no file is found

The short answer

Verify the actual destination and completed recording state. A visible indicator or event entry does not prove a file was written and finalized.

Work through the checks

  1. 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.

  2. Check the app’s access to the selected folder and the current Windows user account. Test a short file write through the supported app workflow before changing system-wide permissions.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

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.

AeoCam is available for Windows. Camera settings below describe protocol preparation, not a certification of a particular camera or a promise of every feature in every app version. Check the installed build and the Microsoft Store listing for current availability.

Vendor documents describe the camera or protocol. No physical-camera compatibility test is claimed here. Menus and capabilities can change with model and firmware.
