Video Recording

Process Vision supports video recording during processes for later review and analysis.

Recording Modes

Automatic Recording

When auto-recording is enabled (the default), video recording starts automatically when a process begins and stops when the process ends.

You can toggle auto-recording in "Device Configuration > Video".

Manual Recording

In the Process Monitor window, you can manually start or stop recording using the recording control buttons.

Recording Settings

Adjust the following parameters in "Device Configuration > Video":

Parameter	Description	Default
Capture Device	Select the video capture card	-
Resolution	Recording resolution	1280x720
Frame Rate	Frames per second	30 fps
Output Format	Video file format	MP4
Quality	Recording quality	High
Segmentation	Split long recordings into segments	Enabled
Segment Duration	Length of each video segment	5 minutes

Video Segmentation

To prevent individual video files from becoming too large, segmentation is enabled by default:

• Each segment defaults to 5 minutes
• Segment files are named automatically (segment_001.mp4, segment_002.mp4, ...)
• All videos are stored in the session's Videos folder

Video Preview

The right side of the Process Monitor window shows a live video preview, allowing you to confirm the capture feed is correct.

Video Storage Location

Recorded videos are stored in each session's folder:

Sessions/
└── PROC-20260306143000/
    └── Videos/
        ├── segment_001.mp4
        ├── segment_002.mp4
        └── segment_003.mp4

Playing Back Videos

In the "History Query" window, search for a specific session to see its associated video files. Click a video filename to open it with your system's default media player.

Storage Management

• Video files can consume significant disk space. Check available disk space regularly.
• Consider setting the video output path to a drive with ample storage capacity.
• Use "Device Configuration > General > Data Retention" to configure how long data is kept.
