Sharing video with security personnel outside your organization

The best option for sharing video about incidents with people outside your organization is to make an export with the relevant video sequences.

If it is a severe incident that needs to go to court, you would generate the export with digital signatures and keep a copy of the export yourself to ensure that you have the video available after the defined retention time for all video in your XProtect VMS system. If your XProtect VMS product supports evidence locks, you can also apply evidence locks on the video showing the incident.

The XProtect Incident Manager extension is designed to fulfill organizations’ needs for saving and exporting video and generating reports with the documented activities for each incident.

See Handling exported data and Handling exported data in notifications and email for more information about how you safely share video and other information with persons outside your organization.
