Protect Web (Dashboard)

Streams

The Streams page allows you to manage and view the status of your configured streams.

Last updated on 01 Dec, 2025

On the streams page, you can see all the streams that are connected to your Protect, Stream status, Live preview, and details.

Location Hierarchy & Navigation

The Streams page features a Location Hierarchy Tree on the side panel, allowing you to organize your camera streams based on their "Logical Location" (what they are viewing) rather than just their physical hardware location.

  • Filtering by Location: Clicking on a specific tree asset (e.g., "Main Lobby") in the tree acts as a filter. The Streams table will update to show only the streams assigned to that location.

  • Logical vs. Physical: By default, a stream inherits its location from its parent Jetson device. However, you can separate them.

    • Example: A device is physically in the Server Room, but the camera stream monitors the Front Entrance. You can place the stream in the "Front Entrance" folder in the tree.

  • Organizing Streams: To change a stream's logical location, simply drag and drop the stream within the tree structure to a new location in edit mode.

    • Note: If a stream is moved away from its device, a "Different Location" icon will appear next to it. You can reset this at any time using the "Return to Device" button in the edit tree mode.
