    I have tried to record it but nothing records.
    Here is the code

        recorder=new QMediaRecorder(mCamera,this);
        QVideoEncoderSettings settings = recorder->videoSettings();
        settings.setResolution(640,480);
        settings.setQuality(QMultimedia::VeryHighQuality);
        settings.setFrameRate(30.0);
        settings.setCodec("video/mp4");
        recorder->setVideoSettings(settings);
        recorder->setContainerFormat("mp4");
    
        mCamera->setCaptureMode(QCamera::CaptureVideo);
        mCamera->focus();
    
        auto fileName = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(this,"Capture","/","Video(*.mp4)");
        recorder->setOutputLocation(QUrl::fromLocalFile(fileName));
        recorder->record();

    @Ramiz You should connect a slot to http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmediarecorder.html#error-1 and print errors

        @Ramiz There are signals for state/status changes you should connect to them to see whether anything is happening.

          I am new to QT and what I did I create a button and on that button I write the camera recording code and image capturing code.Image capturing is working fine but recording is not.
          Also I write the connect function that you told me on button click.
          Did I do it right?

            @Ramiz Should be fine. Are your slots called? Recording video depends on availability of codecs, are you on Windows, MacOS or Linux?

              I am on windows 10 and Yes My slots are called.
              My camera works when slots are called also when I clicked on stop record it ask me where you want to save the file in mp4.
              After giving a directory to save I couldn't find the file as well but I can see the file in my Quick access.0_1519298755316_Screenshot_1.png

                @Ramiz So it actually recorded something? Can you open these files?
                And in your slots you should print out the state/status to see what happens.

                  The size of these files are 0 bytes and they are not opening.Whenever I tried to open any of these files, get an error cant open file.

                    @Ramiz Do you get QMediaRecorder::RecordingState or or QMediaRecorder::RecordingStatus or anything else?

                        I don't think video recording with QT is possible on Windows, see: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtmultimedia-windows.html

                        Also, check the return value of mCamera->isCaptureModeSupported(QCamera::CaptureVideo);.

                          It means I cannot control an IP camera through QT on windows?

                            Hi,

                            Depending on the camera type and how it is seen by the system, you may have to write a small QCamera backend but it's doable.
