Controls & states

Once a camera has sensors set up, you can see their state and operate the ones that support it.

Where sensors appear

• The camera's Overview (in the settings drawer) lists every sensor assigned to the camera with its live state and, for controllable ones, the controls.
• Shortcuts let you place a sensor on the video to read its state on hover and operate it on click.
• The Sensors page lists every sensor in the system. Its edit dialog shows the same controls, including for sensors assigned to no camera.

Read-only sensors

These show their current state but aren't operated:

• Contact. Open or closed, for a door or window.
• Temperature and humidity. The current reading.
• Occupancy. Occupied or empty.
• Smoke and leak. Clear or triggered.
• Gas, carbon monoxide, heat, cold, vibration, tamper, problem, and power. Clear or triggered.
• Illuminance and CO₂. The current reading.
• Battery. Level and charging.

Controllable accessories

These you can operate (admin only):

• Light. On or off, and brightness where supported.
• Switch. On or off.
• Lock. Lock or unlock.
• Siren. On or off, and volume where supported.
• Garage. Open or close.
• Doorbell. Trigger a ring.
• Security system. Choose a mode: Off, Home, Away or Night. If the alarm goes off, the control shows an alarm banner and the modes stay locked while it's active.

PTZ cameras have their own controls and autotrack.
