Version 2.0
Media Shortcut enables you to stream live video directly from the CMVR to your computer if you are on the same local network. Using this feature both previews and live video will load faster.
Other features and metadata must still come from the cloud; this includes any analytics and history browser timeline information (notification indicators, motion regions, ETC).
Media Shortcut will work with both Bridges and CMVRs however viewing historical footage for Bridges is limited. Media Shortcut establishes a direct connection with the Bridge to display the footage straight from the Cameras.
Click the settings icon
next to the bridge.
Click Advanced to access Advanced Settings.
3. Select Media Shortcut Enabled.
The "Media Shortcut Override:" section is used for networks that are more advanced or testing purposes.
Media Shortcut Override will take 3 different inputs: "camlan" (which is just the CamLan IP), "wan" (which is just the Wan IP), or any other IP (example: 192.168.2.4).
e.g.)
If your computer is on a different subnet than your bridge but your bridge/CMVR is still on the local network.
You can then type in the IP of the bridge that connects to the subnet your computer is on (this example requires the site network to be set up correctly).
If you would like to see what media shortcut looks like for your system but you do not want to change your network until you know the improvements will be enough.
You could connect your laptop to the CamLan and then type "camlan" in the override field. This would allow you to see the faster video and previews through a laptop.
Media shortcut must be enabled by the User in My Profile to ensure the application runs. This should be on by default however to ensure it is enabled:
