  • Via QR code.

    Note

    When the user opens the page for adding a video system by QR code, the app will request access to the camera. If the user refuses, the camera scanner will turn off, and an error message will appear. However, the user can still open the code from the files.

    On successful scanning of the QR code, the editor of the video system will open with filled-in data.

    Note

    Scanning the code is also possible with the standard application on the user's device.

    To generate a QR code, go to More and select the /mobile/android/img/qr-code.png icon in the video system field.

Statuses that can be displayed as a tooltip at the bottom of the video system field:

  • Password required. This status is displayed if the device does not have a password for the video system after synchronization with the authorization server. When attempting to connect to the video system, the user will be redirected to the editor with the password field activated.

  • Connection has never been established. This status is displayed if there is no video system configuration on the device because there has never been a connection to the video system.

Changing the video system settings🔗

By tapping on the context menu of the video system, the following actions are available:

  • Delete

  • Change Settings

  • Enable/disable auto connection.

When selecting Change Settings, the Server Settings window will open, where you can change the video system information.

Note

There can be only one video system with auto connection in the application, which will be marked with the word AUTO.

Warning

If a user opens the account via the More page, all video systems on the user's device will be replaced by the video systems in the account. If the video systems in the account and on the device are different, the current connection is considered invalid because the user does not have such a video system. As a result, the user will be disconnected from the current video system and will receive a message to reconnect.

When you log into your account, a window will appear to synchronize data between your device and your account with the following options:

  • Account -> Device. All device data will be replaced with the data from the account in the service.

  • Device -> Account. All data from the account in the service will be replaced with the device data.
