Feature Request - Camera Issues Log and Highlights

Something of a nicety but having had some network issues in the past, and then just this weekend again when a PoE switch died, it would be helpful. We get emails when an issue pops up, and there is the error notification screen. What I would also find helpful is in the setup window under the Camera listing, to have the list of cameras include a flag or colour to reflect current state. If they are not enabled or there is some other sort of issue, then the camera listing would be reflective. The system will send me emails saying that a camera is disabled but you don't know when it is back online. I know that the Camera Info provides some level of information to this end, but it appears the list is not comprehensive if cameras are disabled.

In the following image, perhaps a camera that is not enabled gets a grey background or a Red coloured text. If there is some sort of Error with the camera then the background itself would be Red with White bolded text.


Then within the Device tab for the camera a button to a listing/log of issue where the operator can try and understand what is going on. This might be a subset that is used in your debug file, I don't know, which could help us self analyze what is wrong with a camera.

  • Thanks for the suggestion, I think this is a great idea and I can see how this would be helpful for debugging camera issues. We'll see what we can do in a future update.
