How can I tell (make sure) that I’m actually recording to my SD card w/o going into each cameras settings to check the local… was hoping there would be a red dot or something on the live stream showing that it is being recorded. Or am I missing something? Thanks

[image] srushj: How can I tell (make sure) that I’m actually recording to my SD card Welcome to the community, @srushj . Go to your camera’s live stream, then tap on playback at the bottom. If the SD card is working properly, you will see all the recorded footage. [image] MicroSD and…

Sounds like an excellent wish list item, @Loki ! I actually had this problem just today. A camera I have been abusing with high heat didn’t record anything over the last 2 days. I reset it, and so far it is fine. But it would be really cool if a cam could read its own recording a minute later, an…

Yeah! That would be a nice feature added. :smiley:

@StopICU33 , I did find that feature by mistake, but was looking for something more easily noticeable. I use the live stream to check on an ill family member and record also, so would like to be able to make sure while I’m checking the live stream.

[image] ssummerlin: A solid red dot icon would be good enough for me Sounds good! That would be better, agreed. :grinning:

Dissenting opinion here. In general, it’s better to be warned that something is broken, rather than to indicate that things are running well. The latter should be the default situation Combine that in this particular instance, the user is doing playback. If there’s a need for an indicator at this p…

Guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree. I’m ALWAYS checking to make sure it’s recording, as I’m not quite sure of its reliability. I’d have to equate it to electric cars when they first came out. They were SO quiet that people couldn’t hear them coming and there were some incidences. They en…
