In development: Recording cameras in Hermetry, playing recordings back and saving clips are not released. They have not been tried on real cameras yet. Do not plan a deployment that depends on them.
What this covers
The feature in development will record selected cameras into Hermetry’s storage, show the recordings on a timeline under the player, and keep clips around events such as alarms for longer than the rest.
Recording people is regulated in most countries. Whatever system records your cameras, plan your legal basis and how people are informed (for example, by signs) before you record.
What you may see
Some installations show a Recordings tab on a camera’s device page and an Allow cameras to record setting on the Camera settings page. Treat them as previews: do not use them for footage you need to keep.
What to use today
| Need | Today |
|---|---|
| Continuous recording | Record on the camera’s own memory card or on your network video recorder |
| Look at a moment in the past | Use the recorder’s or camera’s own software |
| Know when something happened | Camera events raise alarms with the time of the event; check the recorder for that time |
| Watch now | Live view |
Hermetry’s live view does not store video: it passes the picture through only while someone watches. See Camera limits and privacy.
