[VORTEX Portal] How to share my devices to the people not in my organization?

You can create a share link to allow external parties (e.g., police) to access live streams or playback footage from selected cameras. This is useful for sharing key areas or critical moments without requiring login access. Follow the steps below to share a device.

1. Click the device sharing icon () on the view cell of the camera you want to share. This will open the link settings page.

2. In the link setting page, 

•  
  • Choose a share type
    • Live: Share only the live stream of the camera.
    • Live and Playback: Share both the live stream and past video footage.
  • Set a expiration date and password(mandatory) for the shared link to control access.
  • Then, click Apply to generate the share link. 

3. The shared link information will be displayed. Click Copy link to copy the URL.

4. Share the URL (copied link) with the external parties.

5. External users can open the link in a web browser such as Chrome or Edge. Mobile users can also access it using browsers like Safari on iOS or Chrome on Android.

6. A camera with an active shared link will display a blue mark () on its view cell.

7. You can click device sharing icon ()  to view current sharing details or update the link settings. Please note updating the link settings will affect current viewers, so please confirm any changes before proceeding.

8. You can revoke the shared link at any time, even before it expires. To do so, go to the link settings and click Revoke shared link to disable it.
