Viewing camera feed

When you click on the camera name, the entire screen is occupied by a video player window for viewing the live feed. Archive viewing is also provided.

When viewing the live feed, please note that the camera may have been added in a different time zone, so the system time indicated on the camera and the timeline time may differ. For more information, see the «UTC Standard» section.

The video player window functions are described in the «Viewing video in the player» section.

To organize a video wall for viewing streams from multiple cameras simultaneously, you should configure camera layouts.

Camera search

Camera search in the camera list is done by name.

To use the search, click the search icon and enter a minimum of three characters.

As a result, the camera list will only contain cameras whose names satisfy the specified condition.

Renaming a camera

To rename a camera:

• Click on the «Management» icon

• Select «Rename camera»

• Rename the camera and press «Enter» or click on a blank part of the screen

After renaming the camera, the camera's name will also change in other VMS clients.

Complain about the camera

In case of camera problems, there is an option to report incorrect camera operation.

To do this, follow these steps:

Setting up a camera schedule

The function is available only if the current user is allowed to change the schedule settings of the selected camera in the administrator web interface.

By default, the camera continuously records the archive (unless the administrator has set a different schedule). In this case, it is possible to configure an archive recording schedule.

To set up a schedule, follow these steps:

• Select camera

• Click on the manage icon

• Select «Camera Schedule»

• Set up a schedule for the days of the week you need

• Click «Edit»

As a result, the archive will be recorded only on the specified days and times.
