Recording Playback

Applies to Apple TV Updated 2 min read

IC Realtime TV can play back recordings stored on your cameras' onboard storage (SD cards). This lets you review past events directly on your Apple TV.

Requirements

  • The camera must have an SD card or onboard storage installed.
  • The camera must be authenticated (credentials entered in the app).
  • Not all camera models support onboard recording — check your camera's specifications.

Accessing Recordings

There are two ways to access recordings:

From an Event

  1. Go to the Events tab.
  2. Select an event from the history.
  3. Press Watch Recording to jump directly to the recording around the time of that event.

Manual Browse

  1. Go to the Events tab.
  2. Select Browse Recording History for a specific camera.
  3. Use the date picker to select a date.
  4. The app displays all recording segments found for that date.
  5. Select a segment to begin playback.

Playback Controls

The playback player supports:

  • Play / Pause — Start and stop playback.
  • Timeline scrubber — Drag to seek to any point in the recording.
  • Frame-by-frame navigation — Step forward or backward one frame at a time.
  • Speed controls — Adjust playback speed.
  • Camera info overlay — View camera details while playing.

Tips

  • Recording availability depends on your camera's storage capacity and retention settings. Older recordings may be overwritten as the SD card fills up.
  • For the best playback experience, ensure your Apple TV has a strong network connection to the camera.
