Any way to access footage beyond retention? I can see thumbnails in timeline.

I need to access video outside the retention window. I cannot go to the video, but if I hover over the timeline, I can see a thumbnail in the motion timeline (yellow bars). Any way to access these?

If the video has already purged from the camera and you're not using Cloud Archive then it's no longer available

Understood and agreed. However, where are the timeline thumbnails coming from? Any way to access those?

If you do a motion search for that time period does it return the thumbnail results? If so, you should be able to download the screenshot. I just did that for one of my MVs and motion events back from June. The video is no longer available as expected.

That worked. Amazing. Exactly what I needed. I wonder if this is a "feature" that should be advertised and how far back you can go.
