The OWS Console Spot Monitor solution for Linux devices allows you to view live video from up to 4 cameras at one time locally, with no need to install additional software. Powered through the OWS local recording software or Apex, the Console Spot Monitor leverages the power of OpenEye Web Services (OWS) to apply both permissions to ensure the right individuals are getting the right access.
