If you are able to view live playback, but are unable to view footage past the previous 5 minutes, then it is likely that there is a a firewall issue that is preventing you from access our cloud storage. To resolve the issue, follow the steps below:
Identify Issue Source
1. Try logging into the Savi app on a mobile device and logging in with Wifi turned OFF. If you are able to access historical playback then it is mostly likely that your network secuirty is blocking our cloud storage provider. If that's the case, please proceed to the "Adjust Network Firewall Settings" troubleshooting section.
2. If you are Windows user, it's also possible that Microsoft's native firewall is blocking the video playback. You can check this by
temporarily turning off Microsoft Defender and checking to see if you can see footage after turning it off (directions listed below). If the issue is resolved, you can leave the firewall settings off. Unfortunately, Microsoft Defender doesn't have an option for whitelisting IP addresses/lists.
