Aqua X Low on Storage: What Happens

Learn how to free up space to keep monitoring running without monitoring interruption.

If you see a storage alert on your resident's profile in the Aqua X portal, it means their Aqua X device is running low on available space, and depending on how low, monitoring may already be affected.

There are two levels of alert:

Yellow banner - Low storage warning: The device has just over 10GB free. Recording is still running, but you're getting an early heads-up before things are impacted. No action is required right now, but it's worth having your resident clear some space soon.

Storage low. Monitoring will soon be paused.

Red banner - Recording paused: Storage has dropped below 10GB. At this point, monitoring and instant replay may no longer be uploading to your portal, and some apps will be restricted until enough space is freed up. Your resident will also see a prompt on their device to clear storage.

Recording has paused. Free up storage to resume Instant Replay.


​Will the resident be able to use apps?

When your resident tries to access apps with not enough storage available, a screen will prompt them to delete items (photos, videos, apps, or files) until there is enough for monitoring to begin again.


What apps will our resident have access to with low storage?

Below Apps Allowed:

  • Calling

  • Safety

  • Settings

  • Files

  • Contacts

  • Clock

  • Calculator

*When storage is critically low, only essential apps remain accessible. Note that results may vary sometimes if a custom launcher is installed.
