Suggestion: User Recorded Footage Time Period Permissions

Hello Nx Team,

At the request of Norman on this thread, I am re-submitting a feature request. 

It would be nice to be able to have a permissions setting for users to limit the time period they can look back at footage. I know this is a feature in Axis ACS Pro labeled “Prevent user access to recordings older than <X minutes>". Having a drop down for minutes/hours/days would be nice so as not to have to calculate longer periods into minutes. 

For temporary users, being able to set a date/time range restriction on the footage they can view would also be handy, including into the future. So if the temp user has access for a week from today, I would want to allow them to see the footage until the end of their access term but also the week prior, but not 2 weeks prior. 

Not sure others would find this useful, but I would.

Thanks!

  Hi,

  Thank you for bringing this uo, I agree and already upvoted this request.

  We've only had one solution in the past with this feature, but has come up again and again on customer meetings and demonstrations.

  In over30~40% of the presentations we do either the end-user or our partner will eventully ask if it is possible to create a user that can only playback the last 2 hours or the last 1 day.

  The answer is always “no”, but even if they are disappointed, they are not surprised as most solutions don't allow for this.

  I understand one “lite” solution might be to implement this only on the NxDesktop and not on the Server end, meaning with API using the same credentials they would still be accessible, but it wound still be an acceptable solution for most situations.

  Thanks
