Login

First log in in Viso with the user name and password that were given to you by the person that maintains your Viso system. Your name is shown in the top-right corner of the Viso window. Click on the name to change your password or log out.

Viso opens with the dashboard which includes a calender and a sessions list. Days in bold indicate when sessions that you are allowed to view were recorded. Click on a date in the calender to view these sessions. (The picture below shows the dashboard of a Trainee.)

Prepare session recording

In the Locations tab, double-click the location in which you want to start recording.

 

TIP The person that maintains your Viso system can enable session recording in multiple locations simultaneously. If this is the case, select the locations and choose Separate sessions to obtain one session for each location, or Composite session to obtain one session in which all locations are combined.

This option is available for Axis cameras that can Pan, Tilt, and Zoom.

To talk to the people in a location

Use the push-to-talk option to speak to the test participants in the location through the camera speaker. Ask the person that maintains your Viso system if this option is available for your cameras.

1. Hover over a camera image and click-and-hold the microphone button. Keep the button pressed while you talk.

To invite other users for the session

1. Open the Participants pane at the bottom-left of your window.
2. Select the participants.

The invited participant receives an invitation message with which the session can be opened. The session is also listed in the dashboard of the invited participant. An invited participant can view a session live, and review it afterwards.

Record a session

1. To start recording, click on the red button.

   

    
2. To start a recording in another location, choose Back to return to the Locations tab. Open another location and start recording.

   

3. To stop recording at the end of a session, open the location if it is not already open, and click on the stop recording button. Only the user that created the session can stop recording.

   

4. If you started recording in other locations as well, also stop these recordings.

You can also start and stop recording with the Viso Web App. Ask your colleague who maintains the Viso set-up for the

website address. Log in and use your smartphone or tablet to start and stop recording.

Review sessions

3. Play the session to debrief it.
