By default, AutoProctor does not record video. It monitors the candidate’s camera on their own device and captures evidence, such as photos, screenshots and audio clips, only when it detects a violation. If you need full video, turn on Candidate recording, an enhanced proctoring setting that continuously records the candidate’s camera. See What If I Still Want to Record Video? below.

​
How AutoProctor’s AI Monitoring Works

Traditional proctoring platforms upload a video of the candidate to their servers, and you are often expected to watch it to verify flagged incidents. AutoProctor’s AI monitors the video feed directly on the candidate’s device and flags violations as they happen. With the default settings, no video is uploaded or stored on any server. Think of it like a smoke detector: it runs continuously in the background, monitoring all the time, and only alerts you when something is detected.

Key Advantages

​
What Evidence Do You Receive Instead of Video?

AutoProctor captures the evidence below. The last column is the switch that turns each one on, in the Proctoring section of a test’s Settings.
A proctoring report with photos, screenshots and audio clips
All of this evidence appears in the candidate’s proctoring report, organized by timestamp and violation type. A session recording plays in the Session recording tab of the same report.
Evidence may occasionally be missing from a report if the candidate’s device ran out of storage or if the browser restricted access to the camera or microphone mid-test. See Missing Images and Recordings for troubleshooting steps.

​
What If I Still Want to Record Video?

For compliance or audit purposes, you can turn on Candidate recording. It continuously records the candidate’s camera feed for the whole test and costs 15 additional credits per attempt. See the pricing page for details.
