# Vision video recording

*Learn how to use Video Recording in Tulip {{glossary.Vision}}*

**In this article, you will learn:**

Handling and recording video is a requirement for many quality use cases. The Vision video recording feature captures video segments of quality events after they’ve taken place (i.e. 5 minutes or less of video).


## Set up Vision video
There are three to four key {{glossary.Trigger}}s to set up to utilize vision video recording. 
* **Start Video Buffer**
* **Save Video Buffer**
* **End Video Buffer**
* **Video Save**

The diagram below shows the sequence of these triggers:

### Start Video Buffer

Establish how long the video buffer records.
You can input a value **between 5 and 300 seconds**.

:::(Info) (NOTE)
If you input a value under 5 or over 300, the value defaults to the minimum or maximum.
:::

This will start an ongoing stream of video that, once ended, retains the last *X* seconds of video (*X* being the number of seconds inputted).

### Save Video Buffer
This trigger ends the video buffer and stops the recording. It then allows Tulip to prepare the video as a S3 url.

### Video Save
Create a machine/device trigger that responds to the event **Video Uploaded** (the **Save Video Buffer** trigger). Once this event fires, Tulip provides the video in a S3 url. Users can choose to save the url in a table or show this in the app with an embdedded video widget.

In the example below, the video saves locally, but it can also be written to a table record.

### End Video Buffer
The **end video buffer** is optional. You can either cancel the video buffer via a button (see example below) or go to another step.

## Quality Use Case

You want to record a quality use case of a motor assembly process. You need to confirm that every motor packaged has the required motor as well as a neccessary tool. This is to ensure that these are undamaged before shiping them to the customer.
