Sending Snapshots or Videos in an Email or Instant Message
Whenever you open a Primary Standalone Live Preview window, a unique
URL is generated for this window session. A URL supports a maximum of
three sessions. Therefore, you can email or instant message up to two
persons this URL. Recipients can then click on the provided link and view
live snapshots or videos simultaneously.
Tip: All Live Preview sessions sharing the same URL, including one
Primary Standalone Live Preview window of the sender and two sessions
of the remote recipients, are identified as one single "<webcam>" user in
the Connected Users list. You can disconnect a "<webcam>" user to
terminate all of the three sessions of a specific URL. See
Viewing
Connected Users (on page 338).
For explanation of this topic, the message sender is User A and the two
recipients are User B and C.
User C is able to access the snapshot or video image via the link in any of
the following scenarios:

The Primary Standalone Live Preview window remains open on User
A's computer. If so, even though User A logs out of the web interface
or the login session times out, the link remains available.

Another recipient's live preview session based on the same URL
remains open. That is, User B's session remains. If so, even though
User A has closed the Primary Standalone Live Preview window, the
link remains available.

Neither User A's Primary Standalone Live Preview window nor User
B's session based on the same URL remains open, but the idle
timeout period has not expired yet since the last live preview window
session was closed. For information on idle timeout, see
Configuring Login Settings (on page 266).
Tip: When the idle timeout has not expired, the <webcam> user for that
live preview URL remains shown on the Connected Users page.
Best Practice
As a best practice, User A should open the live snapshot or video session
using a Primary Standalone Live Preview window and keep that window
open at least until User C opens the live image session via the link.
Once User C opens the live session via the link, User A can close the
Primary Standalone Live Preview window.
User C should let User A know that the link has been opened.
To send a snapshot or video link via email or instant message:
1. Open the Webcam page by clicking it in the
Menu
(on page 132).
