A video recording is a visual and audio representation of an event or scene, captured on a digital or analogue device. It involves capturing moving images with sound through a camera or other similar equipment, which can then be played back as needed. The term often refers to footage that has been professionally produced, but it also encompasses amateur recordings made by individuals using their smartphones or cameras. Video recording technology is widely used in various fields such as entertainment, education, security and surveillance, news reporting, and personal documentation.
