If something critical occurs during a video capture and it must not be made accessible to certain users, you can restrict users from viewing a segment or entire video capture by blocking the camera.
Before you begin
- Make sure you have the Block and Unblock video user privilege.
- Make sure that the camera you want to block is not from a federated Omnicast™ system.
What you should know
You can block a camera that is displaying live or playback video in a tile from any Security Desk task. For example, you can block a camera that is displaying live video from the Monitoring task, or block a video archive that is displaying playback video from the Archives task. Users with a lower user level than the one that you select cannot view video (live, playback, or cached) or export video for the amount of time that you set. If they try to view video from that camera during the blocked period, Blocked is displayed in the tile.
