Video Recording

Process Vision records process footage using a Chronos high-speed camera for later review and analysis.

High-Speed Camera Overview​

The system uses a Chronos high-speed camera (connected via network IP) for process recording. The default camera IP address is 192.168.12.1, managed in the application configuration file and not exposed in the settings UI.

Recording Modes​

Automatic Recording​

When a process starts and the Chronos high-speed camera is connected, recording begins automatically. Recording stops automatically when the process ends, and the footage is saved to storage.

Manual Recording​

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

Live Video Preview​

The dashboard area on the main window displays a live video preview streamed from the camera (resolution 1280x720, default 30 fps, preview quality 75%).

When no camera is connected, the preview area shows a "No Camera" placeholder with status text.

Recording Settings​

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

Video Storage Location​

Recorded videos are stored in each session's folder:

Sessions/

    └── Videos/
        └── recording.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​

  • High-speed camera recordings can consume significant disk space. Check available disk space regularly.
  • The default video storage path is C:\ProgramData\ProcessVision\Media.
  • Use "Device Configuration > General > Data Retention" to configure how long data is kept.
