Classroom lecture recordings unreliable at your School?

[decisions-decisions]

I go to class but still like to have the lecture audio/video recordings to replay and use for study purposes. Problem is, our schools recording system usually has several recordings per week (at a minimum, sometimes several per day) which aren't recorded properly or at all. I understand it happening from time to time because with technology, things like this happen, but this seems to be pretty frequent and I know the system was expensive. Just wondering if this is normal at other schools as well? If your system is more reliable, do you mind sharing what type of recording program your school uses? Many thanks

Our school's look like it was shot with a cell-phone camera. Sometimes the professors writing on the slides doesn't sync correctly with the audio.

I'm at UNECOM. We had a bunch of recording issues when we initially switched over to Panopto that were hardware-related, but eventually got resolved. Haven't had a lecture recording problem in weeks. Last year, we only lost about 4 or 5 lectures total.

Not normal, it has happened a few times too many for us as well. Frustrating all the same

You could ask for permission to record it yourself? Probably just audio, but that might be better than nothing.

My cousin's MD School had all her lectures recorded both video and audio format on and fully downloadable on iTunes. And this was 8 years ago.

It made me wonder how my school gets away with charging so much money.

A lot of schools are way behind the ball when it comes to technology.
