Sharing video with colleagues inside your organization

The following features are excellent choices for sharing video with your colleagues inside your organization

XProtect Incident Manager

Users of XProtect Incident Manager can besides video save all the incident information in incident projects. From the incident projects, they can track the status and activities of each incident. In this way, the users can manage incidents effectively and easily share strong incident evidence, both internally with colleagues and externally with authorities.

Matrix

The Matrix feature is useful for sharing live video streams when you discover an incident. You and your colleagues can send live video streams to each other through shared views with Matrix view items.

If your system administrator has defined rules, these can also trigger sharing of video when events occur.

Bookmarks, evidence locks, and search

You can search for bookmarks and evidence locks. A search is faster and more precise than using the various controls in the main timeline. Your search also finds all video sequences that are tagged with the same bookmark or evidence lock.

To improve sharing and collaboration, you can save a search as a public search. A saved public search is available for your colleagues so they can easily find the tagged video sequences.

Maps and alarms

Maps and alarms are both situational awareness and video sharing functionalities. However, sharing video is indirect because you have to select representations of cameras on the map or an alarm in the alarms list to view the video.

When a camera on the maps indicates that something has happened that needs your attention or an alarm appears on the alarms list, this is triggered by the rules defined by your system administrator.
