cloud recording gaps
AnsweredHello Blurams Support,
I am contacting you regarding ongoing issues with my Blurams cameras and my paid BluramsGuard continuous cloud recording subscription.
Until recently, all of my cameras were working properly and recording continuously to the cloud as expected. However, over the past several weeks, the recording service has become extremely inconsistent.
Issues I am experiencing:
-
My cameras are no longer reliably recording 24/7, despite having a paid continuous cloud recording subscription.
-
Sometimes the cameras record continuously for extended periods without interruption, as they should.
-
Other times, they only capture short clips lasting a minute or less, leaving significant gaps in footage.
-
The recording failures occur intermittently and affect different cameras at different times.
-
There does not appear to be a consistent pattern explaining when continuous recording works and when it stops.
-
These same cameras previously worked correctly with the same internet service and general setup.
Troubleshooting I have already completed:
-
Factory reset the affected cameras.
-
Unplugged and restarted the cameras multiple times.
-
Separated my Wi-Fi network into dedicated 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
-
Reconnected and reconfigured the cameras on my Wi-Fi network.
-
Replaced cameras with new units to rule out defective hardware.
-
Monitored the cloud recordings and confirmed that the issue continues intermittently across multiple cameras.
My internet service provider is Xfinity. Since these cameras previously recorded continuously and the problem persists even after replacing the hardware and troubleshooting the Wi-Fi connections, I am concerned that the issue may be related to the Blurams cloud recording service, subscription authorization, firmware, or server-side communication.
I would appreciate your assistance investigating the following:
-
Is there a known issue affecting BluramsGuard continuous cloud recording?
-
Can you verify that my paid subscription is properly associated with all of my cameras and that continuous recording is enabled on your servers?
-
Have there been any recent firmware updates, cloud service changes, or software issues that could explain these problems?
-
Can you examine the cloud recording and connection logs to determine why footage is intermittently missing?
-
Is there a way to refresh or reset the cloud recording service on your end without requiring another factory reset?
I am particularly concerned because I am paying for continuous cloud recording, but the service is currently unreliable. Missing footage defeats the purpose of having security cameras, especially when there is no indication that recording has stopped.
I have already spent considerable time troubleshooting and replacing equipment without resolving the problem. I would appreciate having this escalated to your technical support team for a thorough investigation rather than being asked to repeat the basic troubleshooting steps I have already completed.
Please let me know what additional information you need, such as camera serial numbers, MAC addresses, firmware versions, or specific dates and times of missing recordings.
Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to a resolution that restores reliable 24/7 cloud recording across all my cameras.

Dear Customer Thank you for reaching out to us with detailed information about your BluramsGuard continuous cloud recording experience. We fully understand your expectation for stable 24/7 cloud recording service for your security cameras. We would like to guide you to double check a few key settings related to cloud recording first, which can help rule out potential configuration mismatches: 1. Confirm your devices are properly associated with the cloud storage subscription: Go to App [Me] > click [Manage Plans] to view all your subscribed plans. You can verify all your cameras that need continuous cloud recording have been bound to valid plans here, you can also try unbinding and re-binding the devices to refresh the association. 2. Check the cloud recording switch: Enter the camera [Preference] > [Video Storage], confirm the "Record videos to cloud" option is turned on. 3. Confirm the device is not manually disabled: Enter the camera [Preference] > [Device Switch], make sure the device is in enabled status. 4. Verify the timeline data source: Enter the camera [Preference] > [Video Storage], ensure the video timeline data source is set to "Cloud". As a reference, blank gaps in continuous cloud recording usually happen due to two common scenarios: the camera lost Wi-Fi connection during the gap period and failed to upload footage to cloud, or the camera experienced unexpected power outage or reboot that interrupted the recording process. We notice you have already completed plenty of basic troubleshooting steps. If the issue still exists after you verify the above settings, please provide the SN code of each affected camera, and the exact date and time of the recording gaps, our technical team will check the backend connection and recording logs thoroughly to locate the root cause. Thank you for your cooperation. Blurams Support Team 0
