This guide covers everything from accessing stored footage to generating public sharing links with expiration settings, ensuring you stay in control of your data at all times. At the heart of any CCTV system is control and management of recorded images. SEiNG features Machine Learning (ML), which is an application of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The AI capability allows SEiNG to accurately predicting outcomes, without the need to be programmed to perform this function. This ‘self-learning’ is a key feature of SEiNG through the application of the ‘You Only Look Once’ (YOLO) classification. All recordings uploaded to SEiNG will be analysed by the ML model and using metadata, information obtained is stored into the database. This is used for features such as advanced searches and notifications. In addition to classifying and predicting objects, the ML also traces the classified objects. By doing this, any recording of an object of interest is labelled. How to use the recordings tab Navigate to the recording tab under the management section on the left side navigation menu and select the date you want to view. By default, SEiNG shows shortcuts to the 5 most recent days; click the three dots below if you want to view a date before then. The green bar at the top of the recordings page lets you filter your footage: Site: If you have multiple sites, this is where you select the location you want to review the footage from Camera: choose the camera(s) you want to view Objects: filter footage by object, e. g. if you select ‘car’, you will see footage containing cars Date: if the date is greyed out, no recordings exist from that... --- - Published: 2025-05-13 - Modified: 2025-05-13 - URL: https://seing.cloud/support/guides/setting-up-2fa-authentication-for-your-seing-account/ Two-factor authentication, or 2FA, adds another layer of security to your personal information. A strong password can help to keep your accounts and data safe, but in the event of a data breach, you’ll want something more secure. Two-factor authentication, or 2FA, adds another layer of security to your personal information. We highly recommend setting up 2FA for your SEiNG account. If you don’t already have an authentication app, we would recommend using either Microsoft Authentication app or Google authentication app. You can find them on both Apple App store and Android Playstore Google Authenticator App Microsoft Authenticator App To set up 2FA for your SEiNG account, open up a browser and navigate too your SEiNG URL. Depending on whether you use a custom URL or sign in via seing. ai, you will see a login prompt similar to: Log into your account You will be greeted by an ‘enable MFA’ page. At this point, you need to open your authentication app. There should be an option with your authentication app to scan QR code. The icon to scan QR code should look like the round one towards the bottom of the device: This should open your phone camera, point the camera at the QR code on the enable MFA page. Doing this should automatically add the account into your authentication app. The account will be labelled as seing. ai and will display a code which refreshes every 30 seconds.

Define custom role based access for your users. Accounts A SEiNG user, with the admin role, has the ability to create additional subaccounts or sub users. By creating additional users, the admin user can decide to delegate a subset of cameras and specify different access roles such as admin, editor or guest. By creating a subaccount, you have the option to specify the required role that should be sufficient for the user. When the user would log in, the actions which can be executed are limited to the assigned role. For example, a guest user will not be able to modify any settings or create any alerts. An editor will be able to create alerts etc. The access and rules for the different standard roles (admin, editor and guest) are defined by the Hub application, and cannot be modified.
