Events

On this Page:

The Events page shows your system’s history of events, like when your system was armed. In Events, you can search and filter events, view clips associated with events, and add a new user.

View Events

To view events for one system, select Events in the main menu. If you have multiple systems, refer to View All Events to learn how to view events for all your systems in one place.

Events are displayed with the most recent events at the top. Each event shows details about the event, including:

Date and time of the event.
Location where the event occurred.
User involved in the event.
Type of event.
Snapshots of the event.
Clips associated with the event.

To update the page with the most recent events, tap Refresh.

View Clips Associated with Events

On some cameras, clips are deleted after 60 days. On other cameras, clips are overwritten once the cloud storage is full. To prevent the loss of video event clips, download the clip.

Some events include video clips of the event. For example, events when a person is detected include clips of the person in the camera view. To view clips, tap the thumbnail image in the event. Some systems show related events alongside the video.

To download a clip, tap the Download button.
To view a clip in fullscreen mode, tap the Fullscreen icon.
To take a snapshot of the clip, tap the Snapshot icon.
