How to manipulate cameras from a shared use

ceolsen — Sun, 16 Aug 2026 20:29:44 GMT

My father and I have separate accounts with cameras. We both have given to the best of our knowledge full admin rights to each other. I am currently in one of his locations and he is out of state. I’m trying to reinstall a camera on to his base but can’t figure how to do it. No ‘+’ available on my side.

Admin rights are limited for shared accounts. You can only install his cameras using his account credentials.

As a non-owner of the camera, you can't do it. If he is willing to share his login credentials with you then you'd be able to perform the task as if he were there.
