Go to the Return Order Processing screen in WMS.

The system will start capturing the video as soon as the user scans the AWB in return processing.
As soon as the recording starts, a video preview will appear on the screen with three possible resolutions: Mini player, Theatre mode, and Full-screen mode. One can toggle b/w these modes by hovering over the preview element.
The below image shows the Mini player mode. This mode is floatable and can be dragged to other parts of the screen.
Below is the full-screen mode.

If the user marks any item missing or on bin scan of any QC fail item, the video blob till that point will get saved into browser storage(indexedDB).
As soon as the processing of all line items gets completed, or the user marks the return as complete the video capturing will stop and the video will be saved.

Whether Increff is capturing the images/videos for forward and reverse movement of inventory? If so, for how long is it stored in system and what are the standard configs ?
We are currently capturing both images and videos for returns. For Forward video capturing, it’s in our roadmap. The videos will be getting stored in the NAS device(Network Attached Storage) in a structured way. The system allows users to download the captured video against an order from the WMS UI.
Video capturing configuration can be enabled/disabled for a channel at the fulfillment location level. Synology NAS device is used for the storage.
We don’t have any time constant for storing the videos as such.
Images are not stored at NAS, images are stored on Google cloud which can be accessed through links present in Omni Reporting.
Standard Configs:
Video Format: WebmCodec: vp9
Frame Rate: 30fps
Audio: No Audio
Just by clicking/typing the order number, will it be possible to retrieve the sku code, order details and the images/videos both forward and reverse for SPF claims.
The system allows users to download the captured video against an order from the WMS UI. We allow Searching the return order using any search filter. Eg, Channel Return Order Id, Channel, Forward Order Id, From Date/ To Date, etc.
Refer this for more details
Will the images/video have timestamp, order number, SKU code details?
File name convention for videos saved at NAS are as follows:
file_name : {return-gateEntry-ItemId}_{uuid} / {shipment_id}_{uuid}
folder_name : {date} [local system time]
path : baseFolderName/ {flow} / {date} / {file_name}.mp4
