Types of Reports
Day / Night Reports - The Day / Night or Image Verification Report shows a day and night image from each camera and compares that to a reference image for each. This provides an easy way to identify changes to a camera’s field of view due to dirt, branches, or other image issues.
Inventory Reports - The Inventory Report lists detailed information on all recorders and cameras, such as current software version, MAC address, IP address, resolutions and more. An Inventory Report allows users to identify out-of-date software or improperly configured systems or cameras.
System Summary Reports - The System Summary Report provides a quick summary of your system to let you know of any problems. These reports are useful for tracking user login activity, video clip activity, and recorder location at a glance.
Thumbnail Reports - The Thumbnail Report displays a series of images from one or more cameras at predefined periods throughout the day. Images will be grouped by recorder and camera. These reports are useful to check in on important areas and quickly spot operational or service issues.
Trend Reports - The Trend Report shows alerts, generated by one or more Alert Rules, in graphical form to help users more effectively identify patterns or anomalies.
Best Practices
- Create default reports to share with admins, managers or user groups.
- Create user groups and add the user group to the report to make onboarding employees easier. By adding them to the user group, they then get access to all important reports.
- Schedule email reminder notifications to be sent daily, weekly or monthly. Users receive a link to view the report at the set day and time right in their inbox.
