Downtime Tracking & Alerts

Every outage logged with start, end, and duration. Export the full history for SLA reviews, insurance claims, and compliance.

Untracked downtime is invisible downtime

A camera goes offline at 2 AM. Nobody notices until the next morning — or worse, until a security incident reveals the gap. Without automated tracking, you have no idea when cameras went down, how long they were offline, or how often it happens.

When a client or auditor asks "how much uptime did our cameras have last month?" you're left guessing. Manual log-keeping is unreliable, inconsistent, and impossible to scale across hundreds of cameras.

How It Works

Every outage logged automatically with configurable alerts

CriticalVue detects the moment a camera transitions between online and offline states and creates a timestamped log entry. These logs accumulate into a complete downtime history for every camera across every site.

Notification rules decide who is told when cameras drop, and how: the moment it happens, or in a digest every 1 to 24 hours, with quiet hours. Mark cameras as critical for priority alerting. Export downtime logs to CSV anytime for compliance reporting or SLA documentation.
