To display camera feeds in the Security Desk Monitoring task, you can assign local and federated cameras to local door entities. This allows Security Desk operators to monitor door events, such as Door forced or Access denied.
Before you begin
- An Archiver role with available cameras
- An Omnicast™ Federation™ role that can connect to an external Omnicast system
- A Security Center Federation™ role that can connect to an external Security Center system with cameras
What you should know
- If multiple cameras are associated with a door, it creates a composite entity where cameras linked to side (A) display in a Security Desk tile. You can cycle through or unpack a composite entity in Security Desk.
- If a video file is unavailable, a video request returns the video file that is closest to the requested time stamp.
- If the playback video associated with an access control event is no longer available, the next available video recorded closest to the time of the event is displayed instead.
