This useful plugin streamlined the process of conducting a comprehensive audit of our camera setup. It enabled us to effortlessly gather all the necessary information to verify the correct configuration of our cameras and pinpoint any anomalies. By aligning these outliers with a standardized configuration profile, we significantly enhanced the performance of our camera environment.

A great tool to review a recording server and more user friendly than system monitor. With this tool, I was able to see which cameras had lost their ZipStream settings and blown out a storage pool, reduced a 90 day storage to only 57 days. While this used to take a day via Smart Client system monitor to repair each camera stream, this has cut the time down to 2 hours. All the information is there to connect directly to the camera via the web interface to quickly update the settings. Great tool, saves a lot of frustration and time.

Managing several thousand cameras can be an incredible task. When an alert comes through for an offline camera, I can instantly see the camera name, camera model, IP address, MAC address and Recording Server. This reduces triage time considerably and give much more oversight in case of a larger issue on a site allowing quicker resolution of issues. Being able to single click and have the IP address gives the option to open the web browser or run a ping to see the state of the camera. By being able to right click and copy this information into an email, I can efficiently forward tasks to other teams to power cycle cameras or investigate issues. Having the information available constantly in the client reduces the need to locate and open documentation of the site to just identify if a camera is needing a clean or if it is just an older low-resolution camera. Highly recommended this powerful tool to all users who are managing multiple sites, triaging CCTV issues and needing to respond to outages in a timely manner. This tool is absolutely essential!
