Sources overview¶
A Source is a video input — a file upload, batch of files, IP camera, RTSP stream, or sample media. Each source belongs to a Location and contains one or more Scans.
Who uses this¶
- Engineers and admins create and manage sources.
- Viewers do not have access to Sources.
Before you begin¶
- Create at least one Location.
- For file-based sources, prepare video files in a supported format.
- For streams, have connection details (URL, credentials) ready.
