Since "record" is already used earlier in the sentence, possibly it means to "make a record" as in the establishment of a file

If we look at the different meanings of \"record\" as a verb in the Merriam-Webster, this suggestion would be a variation of depositing a copy, although it would not be official. Some of the other meanings are already covered by other parts of the sentence, and although it could mean to write, as you mentioned, would this really be necessary if a videotape and sound recording already exist? Maybe yes, depending on the use.
