Can you guys build a better web client that closer matches the Windows Desktop Client? For inspiration here is one of the better DVR web interfaces I've seen from Video Insight.

  Hi Jeff - anything's possible.

  From your perspective what's the value of having a full-featured web client?

  One of the main things I was thinking about was having it available spur of the moment if needed without having to install something first, and also on Chromebooks/Chromebox/Chromebit devices.

  Jeff - thanks.

  Typically spur-of-the-moment use is to view a specific event - e.g. a shared video clip or an event-based video clip received via email. Would you say that is accurate?

  You are probably right about the spur-of-the-moment. I have a tendency to want to show off the system without having to install the client, but that may be a rare use case.

  The Chromebook "client" is probably more on point with the need for a full featured web client. However I guess it could be a NaCl app or even a more advanced Android client on these newer Chromebooks with the Play Store.

  Not discounting your idea at all. It's a fine idea.

  Chromebook - definitely see a good use case for it.

  Another good use case we've been discussing and working on designing/prepping for is a Cloud Client that gives a user the ability to connect to multiple Systems at the same time. 
  
  For example an Integrator who provides central monitoring.
  Or a big end-user with hundreds or thousands of sites that operate independently, but with a central control room or location that monitors events across all sites.

  I think even a mid-level web client might be enough even if it didn't give full access to the camera settings and user management. As long as it included things like:

  • multiple camera grid
  • support for saved layouts
  • the timeline
  • access to the notifications
  • smart search
  • calendar timeline picker
