The video remains open in a secondary Live Preview window in the
User A's EMX interface. So long as the secondary Live Preview
window is open in User A's interface, even after User A logs out of
the EMX interface or the session times out, the link is available.
Best Practice
As a best practice, in the EMX interface, User A should open the video in
a secondary Live Preview window and leave the Live Preview window
open at least until User B opens the video via the link.
Once User B opens the video via the link, the secondary Live Preview
mode window can be closed in the User A's EMX interface.
User B must manually let User A know they have opened the link, or
User A can check to see if User B is currently connected to the
application by clicking Maintenance > Connected Users.
To send a video link via email or instant message:
1. In the navigation tree, click on the webcam that is capturing the video
you want to provide a link to in the email. The video is displayed in
Live Preview mode in the right pane.
2. Click on the Live Preview icon located above the video. The
video opens in a secondary Live Preview window.
3. Copy the URL from the Live Preview window, paste it into the email
or instant message application. Leave the Live Preview window open
at least until the recipient opens the video via the link.
