Intro

With zendō, you can watch a live stream of all your security cameras at a glance. You can also turn on lights in the same room to improve image quality in low‑light conditions.

​
Set up your security cameras

  1. Tap
    (Settings)
  2. Tap “Edit Floorplan”
  3. Tap “Security” at the bottom of your floorplan
  4. You can now add, change, or delete cameras.
You can link each camera to a room in your floorplan and add an optional label to identify it quickly.
zendō supports HLS streaming. The camera player automatically adapts to your connection speed to keep the video feed as near real‑time as possible.We recommend setting up Low Latency HLS (LL-HLS) for the lowest video feed latency.

​
Using your cameras

You can view all your cameras directly from the floorplan, regardless of your current floor. Simply tap the Security button. The Security view provides a snapshot of each camera for quick status checks. These snapshots refresh periodically.

​
Live stream

Tap a camera to open its live stream. Audio is muted by default. Additionally, you can turn on lights in the same room to enhance image quality in low‑light conditions, directly from the live stream player.

​
Restrict access to security cameras

With Access Control, you can decide who can control your security cameras. In a home setup, you could hide them from kids and guests. In a commercial property, you could hide them from visitors and non‑admin staff.
