Step-by-Step


Adding Devices

Add the camera from the Available Cameras section of the Dashboard via the Green Plus icon.


Audio Configuration

  • If you want the same audio to play when viewing footage for another camera, it can be linked by using the Copy Audio To option.

Clicking the icon enables the User to speak from their device through the built-in speaker.
