Watch Video and Events:
Live Monitor
Live Monitor provides a quick, bandwidth-friendly operational snapshot of your sites. Rather than streaming continuous video feeds, it delivers periodic thumbnail refreshes, so you can keep a pulse on up to 16 cameras across multiple locations simultaneously.
If you spot something that requires a closer look, you can easily jump straight into the full, streaming video player to investigate.
Build a Live Monitor View

- Navigate to the Feature: From the Home Workspace, select Live Monitor from the left-side navigation drawer.
- Browse Your Locations: As you scroll down the page, thumbnails of all cameras across your available sites will load. Use the Search field to select your desired camera views across all your locations.
- Select Your Cameras: Choose up to 16 cameras from any combination of sites to build your custom layout (e.g., a grid of 9 POS stations). Your currently selected cameras will appear in a list on the left side of the screen. Add or remove them as needed.
- Save Your Layout: Once your preferred view is built, click Save View (located on the right, beneath your selected cameras). Name your view and click Submit.
- Launch the Snapshot: Click Monitor Selected Cameras. A new browser tab will open, displaying your thumbnail refresh grid for those specific cameras.
- Investigate with Full Video: If something catches your eye and you want to view a fluid stream, click the “Open in New Window” icon in the lower right corner of that specific camera. This will route you to Watch Video, where you can stream actual live or recorded playback.
- Access Saved Views: When you return to the main Live Monitorpage, your saved views will be listed on the left side of the screen. Simply click a saved view to instantly launch that layout, or use the menu to edit names, delete views, and create new ones.
