New feature: User logging

Access Logs Have Arrived!

A heavily requested feature is finally here — User Logging!

Ever wondered what users are doing on Camcloud? With the new Access Logs, you’ll finally have answers to questions like:

• Who deleted that camera?
• Who logged in — and when?
• Which cameras are being viewed?
• How often are users streaming cameras?

You’ll be able to answer these questions and many more.

Introducing Access Logs

The Access Logs table gives you a detailed record of all user activity. Most columns are self-explanatory, but here’s a quick breakdown:

• User – The username of the person performing the action.
• Time – The exact date and time of the log entry.
• Client – Where the action came from (Web, Mobile, or API).
• Action – The event performed. Examples include:

  • StartStream – Someone started a live stream.

  • ListCamerasV1 or ListCamerasV2 – A user fetched their camera list.

  • DeleteCamera – You guessed it — a camera was deleted.

• Target – The camera associated with the action.

Updated Menu Navigation

To access Access Logs, go to the History menu.

We’ve made some adjustments to improve organization:

• Downloads now contains both standard and Cold Storage downloads.

• History contains Camera Health Check alerts and your new Access Logs.

If you’re using the Admin Portal, you’ll find Access Logs under User Access History tab:

Powerful Filtering Capabilities

The filtering tools let you zero in on specific users, cameras, actions, or time ranges. You can even use Duration to summarize actions per user over a defined period.

Note: For now, filtering supports one query type at a time. For example, you can filter all StartStream logs or all ListCameras logs, but not both simultaneously. We plan to make this more flexible in a future update.

Export Your Results

Once you’ve refined your search, export your logs in CSV, JSON, or XML formats for further analysis or record keeping.
