Recordings

Everything on your construction site is recorded locally, in high resolution, and in the cloud. ☁️

View recordings by date & time or create a clip and store it in Media Hub to access your footage.

How to Access

  1. Select the Recordings Tab at the top of the dashboard.

  2. If you want to view a specific date, you can use the Calendar on the right side. 📅

Frames per second (fps) means how many frames are squeezed into one second of video. So, if a video is captured and played back at 6fps, that means each second of the video shows 6 distinct still images. Read more on this here.

  1. You can also choose the specific hour to view. 🕐

  2. Then, you can select a specific minute within that hour through the Timeline at the bottom of the viewer. Click either the backwards (<) and forward (>) buttons to view the recording frame by frame. Click the Play button to view the recording. ▶️

  1. You can choose the Playback Speed, which ranges from 0.25 - 2.5.

  1. You can download a snapshot from any point in time using the download button.

    *For cameras with ExNVRs, you will see an option to select whether you want a Cloud Recording or a Local Recording clip. The default setting is Cloud recording clip.

For Projects under NDA, users with Read-Only permission cannot export clips.

Minimum duration for a cloud recording clip is 3 minutes. Maximum is one hour.

A cloud recording clip takes images (1 jpeg/ 10 seconds) from the cloud and compresses them into a video. A 1-hour video will have 360 images compressed into about 15 minutes.

A local recording clip takes the video footage (8 FPS) from the device. A 1-hour video will be 1-hour in duration.

The default aspect ratio of exported videos is 16:9.

  1. Click Create Clip to finish. You will find the clip in the Media Hub.

FAQs

  1. Why do Local Clip recordings fail when I try to create one?

    • Local clip creation relies directly on the NVR/Pi. The API sends a request to the NVR (in our case, the Pi) to download the footage for the specified timestamp. If the NVR/Pi is offline, the request cannot be fulfilled, resulting in the failure of the local clip recording.

Request for Full Frame Rate Local Recording

To make a request, you can use Recordings to identify the time frame in which the incident occurred.

The larger the time frame, the longer it takes to retrieve the footage.

You can make a footage request by emailing support@evercam.io.

Your request should include the following information:

  • Date 📆

  • Period 🕰️

  • Details of the area of focus (i.e. marked-up image) 🔍
