View video in the player

When viewing a live stream or archive, as well as when exporting an archive, it's important to consider that the camera may have been added in a different time zone. For more details, see the UTC Standard section.

If it is an intercom camera that has the set limitations for viewing video in live and archive modes (for more details, see the View and edit an intercom section > the General data tab), the following will be available to view:

• When a call is missed: 15 seconds before the call and 30 seconds after.

• When a call is answered: 15 seconds before the call was answered and during the call.

The player provides the following functions:

• Viewing a live stream from the camera.

• Enabling/disabling audio (if supported).

• PTZ camera control (if supported).
