Recordings Archive
The Recordings tab gives you a browsable archive of all footage captured across your facility's cameras. You can filter by camera, status, date range, or AI detections, sort by multiple fields, and play back any clip directly in the browser. From here you can also retain footage to prevent it from being automatically removed.

The Recordings page is divided into two main areas:
- Toolbar — filters, date range selector, sort controls, and view toggle
