Device Settings & Details
In this part of the article, we will cover the main sections shown in the camera settings & details. This section is split into three parts historical data, alerts, and details & settings.
Historical Data
When scrolling to the bottom of the page you see the three-tab options under the device timeline. Click on the historical data area to see individual report charts displaying the camera's Video Recording Summary, Bandwidth usage for both upload and download, and the motion events. Pictured below is a visual of the button.
Alerts
In the alerts section, you can see all the recent alerts on that camera. These alerts are created when an alert policy is assigned to a camera. To learn more about Alert policies go here. Pictured below is a visual of the button.
Settings & Details
In the settings & details area, you are able to edit the device name, change the device location, alert policy, share a stream, reboot the camera, unregister the device, manage the features and see more details about the particular device. Pictured below is a visual of the button.
Change Device Name
The first option on the left would display the current name of the device and give the user the ability to edit the current name. Press edit to change the name of the camera. See the picture below for an example.
Change Device Location
The next setting is the option to change the current device location. Just click the 'change location' action and search or click the location in the search bar. A location will not show if the location has not been created. To learn more about creating locations go here. See the picture below for an example.
