Displaying the camera feeds

Last modified: Wednesday October 09, 2024.

A common requirement, particularly in retail outlets or in healthcare facilities, is for security camera installations to be able to show the live footage from one or more cameras to members of the public.

Alta Video provides the following methods to achieve this:

  • Configure a local display
  • Create an external video view

Configure a local display

For Alta Video deployments that include Alta Cloud Connectors, you can configure a video view that is displayed on a display connected to the Cloud Connector DisplayPort.

You cannot run a local display from the Alta Cloud Connector A100 models.

Once your external display has been connected to the compatible Cloud Connector, you can configure the Cloud Connector to show a selected video view.

Create an external link to share a video view

Alta Video includes the features to enable you to send links to people that usually do not have access to your Alta Videodeployment. These can be people either inside or outside of your organization. This can be useful when sending video to your Human Resources team, or to law enforcement.
