limiting viewing for guests

I have a rental home and would like to provide them the ability to view live video from one camera. I know I can do this by limiting their permissions in SS, but I would like an option where they don't see extra stuff like other cameras and options they can't select. Sending them directly to the camera ip doesn't work because the Hikvision cameras only allow me to set up a single user. Any help is appreciated

  • In that case, give them a direct URL to the camera stream from SecuritySpy, which is:

    http://your-server-address/++video?cameraNum=0

    Substitute in the correct address to your SecuritySpy server, and the correct camera number (see the Device Map window from the Window menu in SecuritySpy).

    This gets a server-push MJPEG stream, which works in most web browsers. Tell them to bookmark the page for easy access in the future.

    Does that work OK for your purposes?
  • Perfect! This does exactly what I want it do. Thanks for the rapid response
