VAR is the system that records play from every angle where the cameras are the assistant who tends to it doesn't watch it he only refers to it when an incident happens in the match and the officials ask him to check you're mistaken in thinking someone watches it all the time it's explained in the very link I gave you.

What are you on about, VAR is definitely a person or even a group of referees. VAR team can even recommend a review to the ref, they're watching it all the time. It's explained around the internet in numerous articles.

"The process begins with the video assistant referee(s) and the assistant video assistant referee (AVAR) reviewing the play in question on a bank of monitors in the video operation room (VOR) with the assistance of the replay operator (RO), this can be triggered by the referee requesting the review."

They're not always watching and when they are the are too many monitors to follow which is why it's often an official who requests it during an incident.
