Ensure that you make use of the login credentials used to access your Provision platform or Provision IP camera. The appearance may vary if you are using the Provision Video Management System or logging directly into the IP camera.

This feature is only available should you have added the camera to an Olarm MAX that is connected to an Alarm System with zones.
