On-Demand Snapshots

Capture a live snapshot from any camera with one click. Verify angles and image quality without leaving the dashboard.

You need to see what a camera sees — right now

Thumbnails from the last scheduled scan are useful, but they can be minutes or hours old. When a technician reports they've fixed a camera angle, or when a client asks "is my camera pointing the right way?" — you need a current view.

Logging into each vendor's NVR to pull a live view is slow and cumbersome, especially when the camera is on a platform you don't use often. You need a quick, consistent way to verify any camera from one place.

How It Works

One click to capture a fresh snapshot from any camera

Camera Hub's on-demand snapshot feature works across all five supported platforms. Click the refresh button on any camera, and Camera Hub connects to the device, captures a current frame, uploads it to cloud storage, and displays it in your browser — typically within seconds.

Snapshots are stored securely in the cloud so they're accessible from anywhere. Unresponsive cameras are handled gracefully with automatic timeouts — no frozen screens or hanging requests.
