Troubleshooting
Check the following if the video log is not generated even when the device is on the compatible device list:
1) Record Status:
- the camera that is added in BioStar 2 for video logs should be always recording in the NVR.
2) Time synchronization:
The NVR, Camera, and BioStar 2 server time should be synced with the same time.
- Check the NVR/Camera NTP configuration
- Check the BioStar server PC (Windows) time.
3) Device and door configuration:
- A device should be added in BioStar 2 and should be assigned to a door
- The door should have a relay configured to the door and should be configured as a enter or exit device
4) Video tab:
- the NVR and camera should be added
5) Video tab - camera:
- the added camera should have the proper event, schedule, and door configured
6) Device log:
- check on the realtime-monitoring or event log menu to see that the device log is being created successfully when the event happens.
Further Troubleshooting
If all the above items have been checked but you are still running into issues, please provide the following items and enter a ticket.
1. NVR and Camera model name.
2. All the logs in C:\Program Files\BioStar 2(x64)\ve\logs
3. A screenshot of the contents within the folders in C:\Program Files\BioStar 2(x64)\ve\records\video
* If the folders are empty, there is a high chance that the recording wasn't made or the event wasn't configured properly
