Overview

This article describes how to check the recovery status and provides basic troubleshooting if the video recovery is not successful.
Details

In Recovery Management, cameras used by QVR Pro/Elite with edge recording enabled are listed here. See the following instructions if a camera is not listed.
- Ensure that edge recording or SD card recording is enabled for the camera.
- Ensure that the camera profile in QVR Pro/Elite is set to ONVIF Profile T or ONVIF Profile S.
- Ensure that the camera supports ONVIF profile G for recovery. QVR Pro/Elite automatically detects this feature when the camera profile is set to S or T.
- Ensure that the stream is set to H.264 or H.265. Other stream formats, such as MJPEG, are not supported and will result in a failed recovery.
- When the camera brand is set to AXIS, its profile can only support recovery for H.264. Set the camera to ONVIF to support recovery for H.265.
