Take a Snapshot or Recording

Open Live view by tapping your camera’s image preview on Home.
Use the on-screen tools below the video:
- Snapshot: Captures a photo of the current frame.
- Record: Starts a manual video recording. Tap again to stop and save.
You’ll see a brief confirmation once the photo or video is saved.

Audio: Manual recordings include audio if Audio recording is enabled in Settings > Audio settings. Audio recording laws vary by region. Always ensure compliance with local regulations.

Save a Clip from Playback

Go to Playback from Live view or tap the Playback button on Home.
Tap the clip you want to share / save.

Open Snapshots & Recordings Album

Open App Settings.
Tap Snapshots & recordings.

Browse & Manage Your Saved Media

The Snapshots & Recordings album shows everything you’ve saved from Live view, Playback, Events, or Smart Search.

Date: Use the calendar at the top to jump to a specific day.
More: Change View (Grid/List) or Sort (Newest/Oldest).
Open an item: Tap an image preview to view full screen. From there you can Share or Download.
Delete: Swipe left on an item to delete. (This deletes the saved copy here and doesn’t remove the original event on the microSD card.)

Where These Files Come From & Tips

Sources: Manual Snapshot/Record from Live view or Playback, plus any items you saved/shared from Events.
Storage tips: Sort by size and bulk delete to free space; export important clips to your phone and back them up to your preferred storage.

Note: The Snapshots & Recordings album shows media saved on your phone from the Lorex Connect app. It’s separate from Playback recordings kept on the camera’s microSD card.
