Creating/Transitioning a New Location in Cloud VMS
Professional and Enterprise customers will be greeted by a new feature pop-up in the Cloud VMS. Until at least one 'Location' is created, this message will continue to show up.
This guide will walk you through adding a 'location' to the Cloud VMS. A Location is a group of cameras and/or bridges/CMVRs that are in the same physical location. By grouping them like this, it is possible to see statuses and preview thumbnails all one convenient place.
From initial login you may see this popup:
If you close the window, you can find the Transition Wizard by navigating to the “Locations” tab on the left side of the Cloud VMS.
From this tab, you should see the following:
After clicking the “Add Location” button, fill out the form with the camera's and/or bridge's location information.
After the 'Location' is saved, then navigate back to the “Dashboard”. On the Dashboard, click the 'Gear' icon next to your bridge.
In the 'Location' tab, select your location from the drop-down where it says “Location Name” and 'Save Changes'.
Afterwards, you will see your Location listed in the “Locations” tab with the attached bridges and cameras. If you wish to remove cameras from the Location, you can do so by clicking the 'Gear' icon next to the Location.
Once the Location is set up you can view all the cameras at a location at the same time without needing to create a layout.
