Yes, you can watch in LIVE VIEW by clicking on that big center green button...mind that when you do, you over-ride any motion detect you may have set ( tho you can also manually start a record session )

 

In order for two users to watch the same cameras ( or log in without bumping each other off ) the Primary user has to GRANT ACCESS to the secondary ( in SETTINGS )... pick cameras and give levels of admin functions to the guest

Can primary user grant secondary user all access to all the cameras?

Yes. Guest access isn't exactly like the master account even with the additional privileges but close.

Absolutely. You can select which cameras secondary users have access to by going to Settings > Grant Access. Click on the secondary user and set the cameras you want them to have access to under the "Devices" section. This will allow live view and playback for the selected cameras. Select "Allow Access Rights" is you would like to grant the secondary user access to additional features like "mode selection, manual recording, sharing and deleting videos."
