Is continuous recording possible using an Alarm.com camera?

Yes, if the camera is compatible with either a Stream Video Recorder (SVR) or Onboard Recording. An SVR and/or a micro SD card for Onboard Recording is required to give the video devices somewhere to store the footage.

SVR/CSVR

A Stream Video Recorder (SVR) or Commercial Stream Video Recorder (CSVR) can record video from video devices 24/7. For more information, see Stream Video Recorder (SVR) or Commercial Stream Video Recorder (CSVR).

Onboard Recording

Some cameras support SD cards and can be configured to record to them 24/7. For more information about Onboard Recording, see Onboard Recording with Smart View for video devices.

Alternatives to continuous recording

For more information about creating recording rules, see Configure a Video Analytics rule or Configure a Video Motion Detection (VMD) settings for a video device or Create/edit a video recording rule.
