Vision: cameras, areas and subscriptions in one place

The Vision app is where camera registration, area bindings, event subscriptions, coverage and evidence search live. The old WMS camera page is now view-only and links here.

Everything about “watching and recording” is managed in the Vision app: which cameras you have, which area each camera covers, which events each area subscribes to, and where the blind spots are. Day-to-day work pages (orders, tasks, the packing station) still show the recordings in place — the Vision app is the management desk behind them, not a replacement for the work pages.

The Dashboard: your camera network at a glance#

• The Dashboard is the first page of the Vision app. The top row of cards shows how many cameras you have, how many are online, offline or disabled, and how many blind spots there are. “Online” means the camera is enabled and the box it belongs to checked in within the last five minutes.
• Every card and every line in the “Needs attention” list is a door: click it to land on the page that handles it — offline cameras go to Cameras & Areas, box and recording problems go to Box Health, and a stuck video request goes to the packing-video sessions page.
• Some cards may say event data is not connected yet. That is honest, not an error: those numbers only exist once your cameras start reporting events. Until then the card explains itself instead of showing a fake zero. The “Camera online rate” chart works the same way — it needs a few hourly snapshots first, and says so while they build up.
• At the bottom, key cameras show their latest frame when one exists. A grey “no recent frame” box simply means that camera has no packing-station frame to show — nothing is broken.

Cameras and areas#

• Register and edit cameras on the Cameras & Areas page. The old WMS camera page only views and links here — there is exactly one place that writes.
• An area is a place the cameras watch: a dock area must be bound to a real dock, a packing area to a real packing station; office and worker areas can be free areas with no business object.
• A camera’s display name is generated from its binding (for example “Dock 3 · Wide view”). If a camera shows its registered name instead, it has no coverage binding yet.

Event subscriptions and the 7-day shadow period#

On the Subscriptions page you choose, per area, which events to watch (for example “dock door open too long”). Which events an area may subscribe to is decided by the area type — a dock-only event will not appear for an office area. Each cell carries a switch: flip it on to subscribe, off to unsubscribe. Every new subscription starts in a 7-day shadow period: the system records what it would have flagged, but does not alert yet, so you can check the settings are sane first. The switch never turns a subscription live on its own — after the shadow period, click the status next to the switch to open that subscription and set it to Live there; armed hours and parameters are edited there too. Every change is kept in the change history.

Coverage, blind spots, and finding footage#

• The Coverage & Blind Spots page opens with the picture in numbers: how many objects and areas are checked, how many have a main camera, how many are partly covered, how many are blind spots, and the coverage rate — also broken down by kind of object and by warehouse, with a camera strip (how many cameras, commissioned, serving as main camera, idle). Click any stat card to filter the list below it; the list is paged (blind spots first by default), and you can also filter by state, kind and warehouse or search by name. Every object that is not fully covered — including objects no camera has ever covered — carries a plain suggestion right in its row, with a link to the Cameras & Areas page where you fix it.
• On Search & Evidence you look footage up by business object and time window, jump to playback, and lock evidence. Locking always asks for a reason — a lock without a reason is refused, on the page and behind the scenes alike.
