Recording and playback Set when each camera records and for how long, find video on the timeline, play up to 8 cameras in sync, protect evidence, and export MP4 files with a SHA-256 manifest.

Users and permissions Create local user accounts, build roles from allow and deny rules scoped to sites, areas, groups, or single cameras, and review who has access.
