To quickly draw your colleague's attention to an entity that you are monitoring, you can share the entity with them. This displays the entity and the video of its associated cameras in a tile in their Monitoring task.

  • To share entities with local users, you must have the Display entity in SD privilege.
  • Sharing an entity does not enable event monitoring of the entity for the recipients.
  • To share an entity, the recipients must be online and have an available monitoring tile.
  • You can share any entity that can be monitored in a tile. However, certain entities are not supported in Genetec™ Mobile.
  • Recipients can only view what is shared if they have the necessary access rights and privileges for that entity.
  • You can share live or playback video, depending on what you are viewing when you share.
