The All cameras section features:

View 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.

Please take into consideration that the intercom can be set up in a different time zone. This affects the date and time when you view live streams or archived footage, as well as when you export the archive. For details, see the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) section.

A camera with an archive feature allows for viewing video in archive irrespective of the camera’s streaming status. The available archive range is limited by the storage time allocated to that particular camera.

The video player window functions are described in the View video in the player documentation section.

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