Viewing Live Video
Select “View Live Cameras” from the camera section on the main page of the Subscriber Portal.
One of the cameras is displayed as live video. The other camera views (not live video) are arrayed above it(assuming multiple cameras have been installed). If you have both HD and VGA cameras, the HD cameras will be displayed in 16:9 aspect ration (wide rectangular) and the VGA cameras are in 4:3 aspect ratio. The “not live video” VGA cameras are “letter boxed” (black bands on either side).
Note: Live video resolutions of either 640×480 or 320×200 are displayed as configured for the camera during activation. You must have Adobe Flash Player version 10 or greater to view video.
- Click an image above the video to view live video from that camera.
- To take a snapshot with the currently selected camera, click Take Picture.
- To take a video clip (about 15 seconds) with the currently selected camera, click Take Video Clip.
Note: If a camera is not capable of video capture, then the Take Video Clip button is disabled for that camera.
Each time you click Take Picture or Take Video Clip, a thumbnail of the picture or clip is added below the Take Picture button from the most recent to the oldest.
Note: HD camera thumbnails are in 16:9 aspect ratio. VGA camera thumbnails are in 4:3 aspect ratio.
