Accessing Photos

Photos provides details and thumbnail previews of all photos recorded by Agent.

Files are saved locally on your computer. To locate your photos, see Server Settings - Storage. Photos are typically stored in the "grabs" subdirectory within the recordings folder. They can be saved manually, automatically (via interval, motion, or alert triggers), or as a result of AI processing (such as object recognition, alert filters, LPR, facial recognition, etc.).
