--- title: Cameras description: The registered camera registry at --- # Cameras ## Purpose CAMERAS lists every camera registered for the selected tenant from the camera registry, so a registered or streaming camera shows even with zero alerts. This is the complement to [Pipeline](/docs/console/pipeline), which only shows cameras with recent alert activity. Deep link: `ops.useargus.co/#/cameras` (nav group MONITOR). ## What it shows A subtitle with the selected tenant and the registered camera count, then one card per camera: * A status dot derived from stream health: a frame in the last 2 minutes reads live, 2 to 30 minutes reads stale, otherwise it falls back to the registry status string (inactive or pending reads idle). * The camera name, plus a relative last-frame time (or "no frames yet"). * Key-value rows: status, active (yes or no), last frame timestamp, agent (or "unassigned"), store, zone, device (manufacturer and model), and alerts in the last 24 hours. Data source: `GET /cameras?tenant_id=...` (backed by the registered-cameras view). ## Actions * VIEW LIVE on each card opens the operator live-preview modal, which tries HLS first, then MJPEG, then shows an honest OFFLINE state. The button is inert (a themed 503 message) until the ops API live-view path is provisioned in production. See the [camera live view guide](/docs/remote-support/camera-live-view) for the remote-support way to capture a frame from an agent. ## Matching CLI There is no dedicated argusctl command for the camera registry. The closest read is agent telemetry, which includes each agent's camera count: ```bash argusctl agent telemetry --tenant ``` See [argusctl agent](/docs/cli/agent). ## Notes * Requires a selected tenant. With none selected the page shows "No tenant selected" and points you to the TENANTS tab. * Polled on the 15 second timer with in-place repaint. * Empty state: "no cameras registered for this tenant". --- For a semantic overview of all documentation, see [/sitemap.md](/sitemap.md) For an index of all available documentation, see [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) For agent-facing discovery, including API and MCP surfaces, see [/agents.md](/agents.md)
