ArcGIS Online

What it is

You can show your site cameras inside an ArcGIS Online dashboard (ArcGIS Dashboards), next to your maps and layers. VisionHub generates a link with the cameras you choose and, once you paste it into an Embedded content element, anyone who views the dashboard also sees the live stream or the latest photo of each camera.

To generate the link you need permission to create share links in the project. To add it in ArcGIS you need an ArcGIS Online organizational account that can create and edit dashboards.

The VisionHub cameras show as one more card in the dashboard. You only need to set it up once.

Things to keep in mind

  • Each embedded content element shows the set of cameras in its link. To show different cameras, generate several links and add one element per link.
  • To change the cameras, generate a new link in VisionHub and edit the element’s URL.
  • If you share the dashboard with other people or groups, they also see the cameras.

If the message «The server did not respond correctly. Try again and, if the problem persists, contact support.» appears, press Retry. If the error repeats, write to us through the support chat.
