Thumbnail Reports

  1. Last updated
  2. Save as PDF
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.

Common use cases include: check to see if sidewalks were shoveled before opening, signage was out before the lunch rush, or docks were cleared of pallets at close.

Best Practices
  • Set reminder emails to days and times that align with operations.
  • 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.
