There are times when your webcam needs to be offline or will be offline unexpectedly. Instead of your viewers seeing a blank player, you can preset an offline replacer with an image, video, or the latest timelapse recording.
To add an offline replacer for your camera:
- Sign in to your Ozolio Dashboard.
- Open the Cameras tab and find the camera you wish to configure.
- Click on its Actions Menu icon.
- Select Edit media channel.
- Ensure the "Channel Enabled" box is checked and select the "Offliner" tab.
- Click on the +Add Feed button.
In the opened feed settings panel:
- Ensure the "Feed Enabled" box is checked.
- Enter the "Feed Name" (the name will only be used in the Dashboard UI).
- Click the "Feed Source" drop-down menu and select one of the supported types of content.
- Add custom media according to your chosen content type:
