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 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.

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.
• 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 state: disarmed, stay arm, away arm, or night arm.

PTZ cameras have their own controls and autotrack.
