Stream Management and Camera Organization
Speco Web Viewer provides tools to arrange, tag, and filter cameras so teams can locate the right stream in seconds. Groups and layouts can be preconfigured for different user roles, ensuring each operator sees only the relevant views.
Custom Layouts and Favorites
Users can save multiple dashboard layouts, pinning frequently used cameras to favorites. This reduces setup time and supports consistent monitoring procedures across shifts.
Remote Access and Viewer Performance
Secure tunneling and STUN connectivity allow Speco Web Viewer to work reliably over the public internet. Optimized streaming protocols help maintain smooth playback even on variable networks.
Adaptive Bitrate and Resolution
The viewer automatically adjusts bitrate and resolution to match the display and connection quality. Teams can still switch to higher resolutions manually when bandwidth permits.
Playback, Export, and Evidence Handling
Searching recorded footage by time, camera, or event markers simplifies evidence collection. Built-in export options support common formats so users can prepare clips for reports or legal requests.
Timeline and Smart Search
An intuitive timeline with thumbnails and bookmarks lets reviewers jump to key events quickly. Combined with motion detection logs, this reduces the time spent scanning blank footage.
