Live Streaming and Playback Not Working for Camera Device
Live streaming and playback may not work even when the camera device is successfully configured and connected to the platform.
If live streaming shows “Waiting for streaming from device”, the issue may be temporary and can occur due to a network issue or because the device has exceeded its available data packet capacity.
For playback, the issue can be different. If the camera has no recorded footage available, the platform may display “No Playback Found.”
