Operational Logs

The Operational Log is a place to log daily operations that other users need to be aware of. For example, if a block of cameras was disconnected for maintenance, a user can log this information to inform users coming in for the next surveillance shift. The Operational Log stores this information until a user with sufficient privileges removes it.
