Using Vision Buffer Video Recording

Learn how to use Video Recording in Tulip Vision

In this article, you will learn:

• How to set up Vision Video Recording in the App Editor
• How to use Vision Video Recording to support quality use cases

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 (ie. ~5 min of video).

Set up Vision video

There are three to four key triggers to set up to utilize vision video recording.

• Start Video Buffer
• Save Video Buffer
• End Video Buffer
• Video Save

Start Video Buffer

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

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

Save Video Buffer

Trigger the ending of the video buffer. This will end the video buffer and stop the recording. It then allows Tulip to prepare the video for you.

End Video Buffer

The end video buffer is optional. You can either terminate the video by creating a button (shown in the example below) or going to another step.

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.

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.
