Configuring sites
Multiple deployment sites can belong to an organization, with cameras potentially spread across the geographic locations of those sites.
Some features depend on the physical location of the site:
-
Timezones for cameras vary by the site's location.
-
Maps can show each site's location.
Adding a site
You can also edit or delete a site.
-
From the Organization dropdown list, select the organization that the new site belongs to.
-
Go to Site > Add Site.
For new Organizations, this is the only available option.
-
Configure the following settings:
Setting
Description
Site Name Enter a unique name for the site. Address Enter the street address. If you are not certain of the site's exact address, enter as much as you know. You can search for the complete address in the next step. Timezone Enter the timezone at the site's physical location.
Cameras deployed to this site will use the site's timezone for on-screen display.
-
In the global map panel, click the-search icon. Enter or paste the Address that you entered above, and press Enter.
The map geolocates your site's address, as marked on the map with a pin.
If the map's search results have multiple addresses, you might need to select the correct address for your site. The Address field might be automatically updated to match it.
-
Click Add.
Site settings
For a site, you can view its settings and configure its users and their access-privileges.
To change site settings
-
Go to Site > Settings.
- Click the General tab.
-
View the assigned Timezone of the site, which can be modified from the available dropdown menu.
-
Enable or disable Firmware Auto-upgrade.
If automatic updates are enabled, when there is a new camera software upgrade available, FortiCamera Cloud automatically upgrades the site's cameras during the 3 hour window that starts at the Selected Time. If automatic camera upgrades are disabled, the dashboard will indicate a status of Attention when new software is available, but then you must update each camera manually. For details, see Firmware updates.
Recordings are interrupted until the camera reboots.
-
Click Save.
To configure site users
-
Go to Site > Settings.
-
Click the User tab.
If you want to view user-lists for each site, select the site from the dropdown list.
-
Click Add to create a new user profile, or select an existing user profile and click Edit.
-
Configure the same settings that are available when configuring a user at the organization level. For details, see Configuring user and administrator accounts.
- Click Save.

The User tab under Site > Settings allows you to manage user accounts at one specific site. This is useful since it allows administrators that only have access to site user privileges to manage the users for their site. |
