Step 2: Automatically Start and Stop Recording


After enabling Video Recording, BigSeller will automatically control recording based on your scanning actions:
  • When a Merchant SKU label, Picking Basket No, Pick List or order information is scanned and matched with a package, recording starts automatically.
  • When you switch to another package, the current package recording ends automatically, and recording for the next package starts.

How to Control Recording Manually

Besides automatic recording, BigSeller also supports manual recording control.

  • Click Start Recording to manually start recording.
  • Click End Recording to stop the current recording.
You can also use scanning commands to control recording:

Date Folder

Video File

Video files are named based on:
  • Order Number_Tracking Number
This allows warehouse staff to quickly locate the corresponding recording using order information.
