Account settings
The settings dialog opens from User menu → Account. It has three tabs: General, Notifications and API tokens.
The General tab
Language
The interface language switch. Strings and reference labels are served by the backend, so a change applies immediately without reloading the page.
Which languages are available depends on your installation.
Time zone
A list of time zones. It governs how every date and time is displayed across the system: the event log, trips, the video-wall timeline, reports.
With no zone selected, your operating system's zone is used.
The time zone affects display only. Data is stored in a single canonical format, so changing the zone does not distort history — it only relabels it.
Map
The mapping engine. It affects the look of the map basemap and which base layers are available. If the map renders incorrectly, try switching the engine — see Troubleshooting.
Video
The video stream source:
- Own — streams from your own stack;
- Frigate — video from the Frigate NVR.
Video quality
Auto or a fixed resolution. Streams are published per resolution, so this switches to a different stream rather than rescaling the picture.
On a large video wall grid it is worth lowering the quality by hand.
The Notifications tab
Alert delivery channels: Email, Telegram, Web, Webhook. Described in full under Notifications.
The API tokens tab
API tokens let external programs, scripts and AI agents act in the system on your behalf. A token carries your permissions and sees only what you can see.
Creating a token
- Press New token.
- Give it a Name — something recognisable, for instance "Claude Desktop". Without one the system refuses: "Give the token a name."
- Choose the Access level:
- Read only — view vehicles, events, trips and zones;
- Read and write — also set and cancel destinations.
- Set Expires — a lifetime, or Never.
- Press Generate token.
After creation the system displays the token value with a warning: "Copy this token now — it is never shown again." Press Copy and store it somewhere safe. If you lose it, revoke the token and create a new one.
The MCP endpoint
The section shows an MCP endpoint address. Point your MCP client at this URL and authenticate with the token you generated.
Managing tokens
The list shows every issued token and its state:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Active | The token works |
| Revoked | Manually disabled |
| Expired | Its lifetime ran out |
Each token shows Last used … or Never used.
Revoke disables a token: "Revoke this token? Anything using it stops working immediately." Revocation cannot be undone.
Security
- Create a separate token per application, so one can be revoked without disturbing the others.
- Issue Read only unless writing is genuinely required.
- Set a lifetime rather than Never for temporary work.
- Review Last used regularly and revoke tokens nobody is using.
Appearance and data source
The colour theme (Light / Dark) and the Data source live in the user menu itself rather than this dialog. See The interface and Data sources.
