The Dashboard is the default landing page after login. It provides a high-level overview of your entire surveillance system through a customisable, widget-based layout that each user can tailor to their operational needs.
The dashboard uses a drag-and-drop widget system. Each widget is a self-contained card that displays a specific category of information, updating in real time.
- Add widgets — Click the Add Widget button to open the widget catalogue and select from the available widget types.
- Remove widgets — Click the close button on any widget card to remove it from your layout.
- Reorder widgets — Drag any widget by its header to reposition it within the dashboard grid.
- Per-user persistence — Your widget selection and layout order are saved to your user profile. Each user sees their own personalised dashboard, and changes do not affect other users.
The dashboard includes over 14 widget types covering system health, event activity, and operational status.
