3. If the event has been delayed to a different time slot, it will not be recorded in your account.

2. Playback error in recording

Causes:

1. Internet Issues
2. Overheating of the device
3. Poor Video Quality

3. Missing recordings

Causes:

1. If the recording is older than nine months, the system will automatically delete it.
2. Each profile will have its recordings separately.
3. While sharing the account with our friends and family, they might have deleted it to make space on your device.

While these problems are simple, sometimes, the device shows different errors from the server’s end. We’ll also have to troubleshoot the app to resolve the playback error.
