Restrict Public Camera Access to Owners with Checked-In Pets

By default public cameras will be available to all pet parents when logged into the customer portal. They will not have to have a checked-in reservation. If you would prefer to restrict access on public cameras only to owners with checked-in pets:

1. Navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Webcams.
2. Locate the setting Public cameras only checked in. If enabled, this will only display your public cameras to pet parents with a checked-in pet.

Charge Customers for Camera Access

Effective 5/6/2021, you have the ability to decide whether public webcams will be accessible by customers at no cost or will require a charge to view. By default there is no charge associated with public cameras. If you would like to charge for access to public cameras during a reservation stay:

1. Navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Webcams.
   
   
2. Enable the Require Webcam Service for Public Cameras setting. When enabled, the system will check if the pet parent has a webcam service on their reservation when displaying the webcams to them.
