Operation Steps
Selecting a Device and Playing Live Streaming
1. In the Select Organization area on the left, click the target organization. The device list under this organization will be displayed in the Select Device area below. The number in parentheses after the organization name indicates the number of online channels/total channels under the organization. For example,
(2/8) indicates that 2 of the 8 channels are online.2. In the Select Device area, click a device with an expand arrow (such as NVR) to expand and view the channel list under the device. Standalone camera channels can be operated directly. Online devices/channels are marked with blue icons.
3. Click the target channel, and the player starts pulling streams and playing the live view in the corresponding window. The channel information is displayed in the upper-left corner of the window, including the device/channel name, encoding format, bitrate (Kbps), and frame rate (fps).

You can also enter a device name keyword in the search box on the left to quickly locate the target device.
