NovaVMS Manual

For operators

This section is for operators who watch cameras for a living. You already have a NovaVMS account and you need the fastest path to live video, recorded clips, and evidence export. If you only have read access to a few cameras, see the viewer guides instead.

Start with this flow

  1. Set up your personal workspace
  2. Open the dashboard and triage system state
  3. Watch multiple cameras in a live grid
  4. Save and reuse grid views
  5. Record a manual clip
  6. Review an event
  7. Search and filter events
  8. Use natural-language search
  9. Share a clip as a time-limited link
  10. Export signed evidence (v2 preview)
  11. Acknowledge or resolve an alert

Common urgent tasks

  • Acknowledge or dismiss an alert — when an alert fires and you need to triage it immediately.
  • Record a manual clip — when something happens on screen and you need it preserved before it ages out of the buffer.
  • Share a clip link — when you need to send a clip to someone outside NovaVMS without giving them an account.
  • Export signed evidence — v2 preview, not in v1. Documents the tamper-evident MP4 pipeline planned for v2. For v1, use Share a clip link above.
