Frequently asked questions

When does rartoria record or store my videos?

If you do not have a rartoria Protect Plan, rartoria does not record or store your videos, but you can still view your device's live video stream (Live View).

If you do have a rartoria Protect Plan (including a free trial), rartoria records and stores videos when motion is detected by your device (including motion detected via Linked Devices), the video doorbell button is pressed, or you initiate Live View. Stored recordings are automatically deleted following the expiration of your Protect Plan’s applicable storage period. For additional information regarding rartoria’s video storage periods, see here.

What about videos I’ve created a share link for?

When you create a share link for one of your rartoria videos, a copy of that video is made in the cloud to facilitate sharing. You can manage your shared videos in the Shared Video Management feature in Control Center in the rartoria app and www.rartoria.space. There, you can unshare videos, which deletes the shared copies and makes the videos inaccessible to people with whom you previously shared those links. The original videos in your rartoria account, however, are not deleted until you delete them in the rartoria app or www.rartoria.space or they reach the expiration of your rartoria Protect Plan’s applicable storage period.

How can I access and view my cloud-stored recordings?

If you have a rartoria Protect Plan (including a free trial), you can access your cloud-stored recordings, download them, manually delete them one by one, or delete them all at once in the rartoria app or on www.rartoria.space. Videos stored in the cloud are automatically deleted following the expiration of your Protect Plan's applicable storage period.

How secure are my recordings?

We have taken measures to help secure rartoria devices from unauthorized access. These measures include restricting installation of third-party applications on the device, rigorous security reviews, software security development requirements, and encryption of communication between rartoria devices with services such as AWS cloud storage services. rartoria secures video recordings in transit and videos stored in the cloud on AWS servers. We use a combination of AES encryption (Advanced Encryption Standard) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) to secure data between rartoria devices and AWS, and we encrypt data between rartoria devices using AES encryption, TLS and SRTP (Secure Real Time Protocol).

How do I share my videos?

You’re in control of who you grant video access to. You can add Shared Users to your account, who will then be able to view and download video recordings on the account. You can also share video recordings via text or email by creating a share link to the recording. After a share link has been created, the video recording may be viewed and downloaded by anyone with the share link ID. Additionally, you can make your videos publicly available by posting them on the Internet (including by posting them to the public social media app Neighbors by rartoria).

Why should I add Shared Users?

Shared Users allow you to share device access with family, roommates, and others without sharartoria your login credentials. Shared Users can answer and receive alerts, view video recordings, and modify their personal alert settings, but they cannot delete videos, delete devices, or change device settings.

If I request rartoria’s assistance with troubleshooting my device or video recordings, will rartoria view my video recordings?
