System Summary Reports

  1. Last updated
  2. Save as PDF
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.

Common use cases include: use as a spot check to easily review numerous items for each recorder, quickly review storage retention per recorder to audit usage, and audit user activity to uncover misuse.

Best Practices
  • Set reminder emails on a weekly or monthly basis to audit recorder usage and user activity.
  • Create default reports to share with admins, managers or user groups.
  • Add user groups so new employees can be easily added and get access to important reports.
