Administration

Administration allows server managers to view, edit, and remove cameras across all users.


All Cameras: Displays a complete list of all cameras available on the server for easy overview and management.

Edit Camera: Allows you to update camera details such as name, location, and timezone settings.

Review Status: Shows camera status indicators (green, red, or yellow) to quickly identify if a camera is active, offline, or in warning state.

Settings: Provides details of recording configuration, transcoding status, storage usage, and last connection details for each camera.

Account Types and Roles

Shared Camlocus Cloud:

  • Admin = Camlocus internal/server admin
  • Manager = Basic Cloud customer / account owner
  • User = viewer created by Manager

Each Basic Cloud customer should be isolated from other Managers. A Manager should see only his
own cameras, locations, alerts, playback and users.


Dedicated Cloud / Self-Hosted:

  • Customer can have Admin role on his own server/domain
  • Customer Admin can create Managers and Users
  • Managers can manage their own or assigned resources
  • Admin-created cameras are not visible to Managers by default unless shared/assigned


Manager Camera Limits

When Admin creates a new Manager, Camlocus should define a camera limit for that Manager.

Default Manager camera limit: 5 cameras

Admin can modify this limit later from the Manager create/edit form.

Camera usage should be visible in Manager list, for example:
2/5 cameras

Only cameras created/owned by the Manager count against this limit. Cameras shared by Admin or
other users should not count against the Manager’s camera limit.

If the limit is reached, Camlocus should show:

Camera limit reached. Please contact administrator.


Admin and Customer Video Privacy

Admin can manage accounts, server settings, limits and usage information.

Admin should not automatically view customer/Manager private camera video content by default.

Admin can see Manager account metadata such as:

  • email
  • status
  • camera count
  • storage usage
  • account limits
  • created date

Admin should not automatically see:

  • Manager live streams
  • Manager playback videos
  • Manager alert videos
  • private customer camera content

If support video access is needed, it should be handled through a separate controlled support access process in the future.
