Archive Playback

For any recorded camera you can replay the past on a DVR-style timeline.

From a camera (in the list, detail page, or live overlay) switch to Archive. The player loads recorded segments for that camera over HLS. Non-admin users can open the archive only for cameras in their groups.

  • Scrub the timeline to jump to any moment.
  • Jump to events — event markers appear on the timeline so you can go straight to activity.
  • Seek backwards and forwards while playback continues.
  • Change playback speed to review long stretches quickly or step through detail slowly.

Select a time range on the timeline and export it as a clip. The request goes to the clip worker and appears under Investigate → Clips when ready. If no destination is available, ask an admin to select one under Settings → Storages → Clips & Screenshots.

Archive availability depends on the camera being recorded and the footage still being retained — see Storages & Retention.
