The next encoder release can protect retention or preserve the current picture profile, but not both without evidence.
Security managers need footage to remain available through outages, while the camera fleet needs a configuration that does not create new playback or storage failures.
Who you’d be doing this for
“We pulled the camera after the alarm, and the part we needed had already rolled off.”
Marios Dominguez · Security Manager
Oversees incident investigations across several sites using cloud-managed cameras.
What is at stake
Affected cameras are overwriting footage before the configured retention window after network outages. You must weigh evidence retention against playback reliability and storage wear before the OTA window closes.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- evidence retention vs investigation quality
- fleet speed vs rollback safety
- storage endurance vs video capacity
- automated findings vs verified release evidence
Why Verkada
Camera evidence remains useful only when on-device recording survives the network conditions common across distributed sites.
