Monitor Video
While the Events page displays recorded video of events linked to specific devices, the Monitoring >
Video page lets users monitor overall site security. For example, if a suspicious person is lurking in
the parking lot, this would not trigger a door or reader event, but if a camera is watching the parking
lot, the person could be detected by a user watching that camera.
Note: Before live or recorded video can be monitored, add at least one video layout. See Add
Video Layouts on page 35.
To monitor video:
