Configure Video Verification
Note: Video Verification does not postpone or interfere with communication with the central station. Additionally, Video Verification feeds are only viewable by authorized personnel and automatically expire after a designated time period.
Dealer Admin supports video verification, which allows central station operators to view live or recorded video from system cameras only in the event of an emergency. This feature helps central station operators make faster, better-informed decisions when determining whether to deploy emergency personnel to a customer’s home or business.
