All cameras

In the All cameras section, you can perform the following actions:

• View the camera list.

• Camera search.

• View camera feed in Live and Archive modes.

View camera feed

Selecting a camera name opens the camera player full screen with live feed. You can also access Archive.

Please take into consideration that the intercom can be set up in a different time zone. This affects the date and time when you watch 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 options 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. For details, see the Layouts documentation section.
