Video that is saved to the Stream Video Recorder (SVR) cannot be manually deleted for specific time frames. This is to ensure that important data is not removed from the SVR.

Situations where footage is automatically deleted

  • When the SVR's hard drive storage is full. Video is automatically overwritten a full day at a time to make room for newly recorded video.
  • When the SVR recording schedule for a camera is deleted using the Alarm.com customer website. All previous video recordings from that camera are deleted from the SVR.
