New Location-centric Architecture Streamlines Surveillance Management in OpenEye Web Services

Introducing Locations — a new organizational change in OpenEye Web Services (OWS) that simplifies device management.

This additional management tool helps streamline administration of your surveillance system with location-centric device, permission, and event management architecture by leveraging a higher location-based organization level in OWS.

The shift from recorder-based groups to a location-centric organization was made on January 18th, 2024.

Here are the key features that were affected with this change:
