Sharing video with colleagues inside your organization

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

XProtect Smart Wall

The XProtect Smart Wall extension is designed explicitly for fulfilling organizations' needs for sharing video. It is ideal for control centers with multiple operators.

Matrix

The Matrix feature is handy when you discover an incident while viewing live video. With the Matrix feature, you and your colleagues can send live video streams to each other through shared views with view items containing Matrix content.

Rules defined by your system administrator can also trigger the sharing of Matrix content when different incidents occur.

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.

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.
