Description

Device enabled and retrieving data: The device is enabled and you retrieve a live stream.

 

 

Device recording: The device is recording data on the system.

Device temporarily stopped or has no feed: When stopped, no information is transferred to the system. If it is a camera, you cannot view live video. A stopped device can still communicate with the recording server for retrieving events, setting settings etc., as opposed to when a device is disabled.

Devices disabled: Cannot be started automatically through a rule and cannot communicate with the recording server. If a camera is disabled, you cannot view live or recorded video.

 

 

Device database being repaired.

Device requires attention: The device does not function correctly. Pause the mouse pointer over the device icon to get a description of the problem in the tooltip.

Status unknown: Status of the device is unknown, for example, if the recording server is offline.

 

 

Note that some icons can be combined, as in this example where Device enabled and retrieving data is combined with Device recording.
