Why limit the use of maintenance?

Operator error. Misuse of a Maintenance Session can lead to a complete loss of recorded video, the compromise of the system’s ability to record video by disabling cameras, or the turning off of alarm reporting. See the sections listed in table 10–3:Maintenance Tasks, above.

Right to Use View

Each function of View (excluding Maintenance) is subject to one of five rights. The most sensitive rights for security are marked with an asterisk (*).

•Live video. Right to obtain a live video feed from cameras at a site. This is a Multi system’s fundamental purpose. All Multi user accounts usually have this right. The amount of cameras that a user can access may be limited. See To Limit Use of Cameras: Camera Partitioning.

•Retrieve video. Right to obtain a video feed of recorded video. Also grants use of the “search for Events” feature.

•Audio, listen. Right to hear through a site’s sound hardware.

•Audio, talk. Right to broadcast through a site’s sound hardware.

•Use PTZ. Right to operate the pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) commands, on cameras that have this capability, during a Live Session. Use of this right depends on the right to View Live Video.
