View Control

You can switch between views by selecting one of two icons in the View Control located in the upper right of the Dashboard page:

	Camera View Lists your active cameras as well as completed camera thumbnails sorted by project.
	Project View Displays your active and completed projects along with a list of the cameras within each project.
	Map View Shows a geographical view of your active and completed projects.

The last view selected is the default page for the dashboard. For example, if your last view on the dashboard was the project view, the next time you log in or navigate back to the dashboard, the project view will be displayed.

 

Project View

When you click the project view, you will see a list of your projects and their associated cameras. The project tab has active projects displayed by default. To view completed projects, click the completed tab. 

From the project view, you can toggle between a view of active or completed projects. You can also add a camera to your favorites or view any of the following:

• Time-Lapses
• Live View
• Default View
• Security Recordings
• Photo Albums

The following statuses are associated with the project view:

	A green bar indicates active projects.
	A gray bar indicates completed projects.

From this view, you can see the current weather conditions at each project’s location and the number of live cameras for each project.

Note: Users only have access to the projects they are assigned to. The Customer Admin has complete control over which projects each user can access. If a user is given access to only one project, they will not be able to access the main dashboard or the drop-down list of other projects.

 

Camera View

When you click the camera view, you will see a thumbnail image of all of your active cameras grouped by project. The cameras tab is shown by default and it lists all active cameras. To view previous camera media, click the completed tab.

	A green bar indicates online camera(s).
	A gray bar indicates completed cameras.
