Streaming video from your mobile device (explained)

Video push lets you stream live video with audio from the camera on your mobile device to your XProtect surveillance system.

This is useful, for example, to collect evidence when you examine an incident.

"When would I want to stream video from my mobile device?"

• A crowd is forming at an entrance, and you want to show the control room.
• You have witnessed a crime and want footage of the perpetrator.
• You are interviewing a witness and want to record the response.
• A guard is handling a situation, and you want to document his actions.

Your administrator must set up video push

Before you can use video push, your administrator must do the following in Management Client:

• Add a channel to the mobile server.
• Add the Video Push Driver as a hardware device.
• Enable the microphone related to the camera that you use for video streaming.
• Specify the users who can stream video from a device.

Video push is available in landscape and portrait mode.
