Local Display via Browser
requires flash support to view a video in full-resolution mode. If the browser does not support flash, please use
Media Shortcut. When enabled, Media Shortcut allows video to be streamed directly over a network. Instead of just accessing a layout, Media Shortcut operates when a user logs in to the Eagle Eye VMS Dashboard on a computer on the same network as the Eagle Eye Bridge/CMVR. Preview and live video will stream directly over the network from the Eagle Eye Bridge/CMVR. Please see our knowledge base article
Media Shortcut for more information on enabling this feature.
