- Restricting access to your video
  If you do not want your service provider or Genetec™ personnel to view your cameras or export video, you can restrict access to your Stratocast™ portal and then re-establish access when you need technical support.
- Verifying whether remote users can monitor your Stratocast™ portal
  To ensure transparency between you, your service provider, and Genetec™ personnel, as a client administrator you can verify whether others can monitor your Stratocast™ portal through remote monitoring features such as Federation™.
- Adding a remote monitoring user to your client account
  As a client administrator, you can add a remote monitoring user to one or more of the accounts that you manage, so that the remote monitoring connection details can be provided to a Community Connect administrator, a local authority, or remote monitoring facility.
- Deleting the remote monitoring user from your client account
  A client administrator can delete the remote monitoring user when remote access to the client account is no longer required.
- Viewing your camera settings
  To find information such as the resolution that your camera is recording at, or the maximum frame rate that you can obtain when recording, you can view your camera settings and then contact your service provider if changes are required.
- Changing your camera's thumbnail image
  If you have difficulty identifying a camera by its current thumbnail, you can change the camera's thumbnail image so that the image accurately represents the location that the camera is viewing.
- Creating an authentication key for your mobile devices
  To authenticate your identity and connect to the Stratocast™ mobile apps from all of your mobile devices, you must create a mobile authentication key in your Stratocast™ portal.
- Modifying your mobile authentication key
  If you have forgotten your mobile authentication key or simply want to change it occasionally for security purposes, you can modify the key in your Stratocast™ portal and then update the Stratocast™ mobile apps.
- Deleting your mobile authentication key
  If your mobile device is lost or has been stolen, or you want to stop using the Stratocast™ mobile apps, you can delete the key from your Stratocast™ portal.

Restricting access to your video

2016-12-23

If you do not want your service provider or Genetec™ personnel to view your cameras or export video, you can restrict access to your Stratocast™ portal and then re-establish access when you need technical support.

What you should know

Only the client administrator has the required privileges to restrict access to your portal. Once set, your service provider cannot access your Stratocast™ portal from either their web client or their Stratocast™ mobile apps.

Procedure

Click Configurations () and then click the Privacy tab.
Clear the Allow my service provider and Genetec™ to access my portal check box. By default, this check box is selected, and therefore, access to your portal is open when your client account is created.
Once cleared, your service provider and Genetec™ personnel cannot access your portal. If they are already inside your portal at the time you enabled privacy, access to all web pages (except for the support and online help pages) is immediately restricted.
To re-establish access, select the Allow my service provider and Genetec™ to access my portal check box.
Access to your Stratocast™ portal is immediately re-established. Users that are accessing your portal from their Stratocast™ mobile apps must refresh the client page of their app.

Important: Enabling privacy restricts others from accessing your portal only for the duration that the privacy setting is in effect. When access is granted again, video that was recorded during the restriction period can be viewed by your service provider and Genetec™ personnel.
