This Application Note is intended for Eagle Eye Cloud VMS users and administrators who wish to use
a Windows Computer or Apple TV device that is on the same network as their Eagle Eye Bridge or
CMVR to stream their local cameras in a Live Display.
The NX-V Eagle Eye Viewer application converts any monitor or TV screen into a local spot monitor
instantly. Leveraging local video viewing with Eagle Eye QL Stream, the app quickly locates all
available Eagle Eye Cloud VMS connected cameras on your local network and gets you up and running
in minutes.
The applications were developed by an Eagle Eye Networks API partner, and are owned and operated
by INCA X. INCA X utilized the open source Eagle Eye Networks Video API Platform to develop this
integration, and it is a perfect example of the potential to utilize our Video API Product to create
custom Video Solutions from the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS.
The NX-V Eagle Eye Viewer app is available from the Apple tvOS App Store, or Windows App Store.
To use these applications, a user from the account must have access to the desired cameras they
wish to display, and should have access to create or utilize layouts from the installed Eagle Eye VMS;
this enables the user to display the layouts on their Windows or Apple TV device.
To enable the QL Stream features of the Bridge/CMVR, a user with access to Bridge Settings should
first enable QL Stream (RTSP) in Bridge Settings for Local Display. If the user already has Bridge
Settings permissions, the applications will enable the setting in the Bridge on login. Read AN059:
Using Eagle Eye QL Stream for Enhanced Local Video Viewing Solutions for more information.
