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 An Inventory Report allows users to identify out-of-date software or improperly configured systems or cameras.

Common use cases include: check crucial information such as online status, storage retention or software/firmware versions that may need updated; the IT department may require MAC and IP addresses for all security devices on the network; Finance or Accounting may use as an asset list for inventory audits.

Best Practices
  • Set reminder emails to align with inventory audits and add users from supporting teams to receive reports.
  • Download to a spreadsheet for advanced filtering.
  • Add user groups so new employees can be easily added and get access to important reports.
