Efficiently Save and Share Video with Archiving in Eagle Eye VMS

Click the banner to view the full Application Note.

This Application Note is intended for all end users of the VMS who may need to view or save archived video. No prior background knowledge is needed but a working knowledge of the VMS will help.

The Eagle Eye Cloud VMS provides Archiving, which allows users to save and store video clips outside of the normal duration of cloud retention. Once a video has been archived, the clip can be downloaded to a local device at any time or it can be played back immediately in the archiving tab from the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS dashboard.

The Archive is available to all Editions of the VMS, with different storage limits based on the Edition (standard, Professional, Enterprise).

Archiving allows users to provide archived video clips of a crime or incident to law enforcement or first responders without having to create an account for the third-party and makes the video clip easier for the third-party to view via email rather than having to log in to an account and navigate to the archived video.

The Archive is represented in a directory where folders and files can be organized and optionally shared via secure link to anyone, without requiring a user login. The secure links can be revoked anytime or set to expire on a specific date. Any files and folders that are shared are clearly marked within the Archive.
