#### Purpose

The Quick Dashboard provides an at‑a‑glance health snapshot of your NVS and connected cameras. It shows whether the unit is online, how much storage and CPU it is using, the number of cameras streaming or recording and any active warnings. Use this dashboard to perform a rapid “is everything OK?” check during daily operations.

#### Navigation

1. After you open an NVS in the cloud UI, you are presented with the Quick Dashboard tab. If you are on the inventory list, hover over the NVS and click its Dashboard icon to expand the dashboard without leaving the list.
2. In the local UI, the Quick Dashboard appears as the home page after logging in.

#### How to Use

* Expand and collapse – When viewing multiple NVS units, move the mouse over a device card and click to expand its dashboard. Click again to collapse it.
* Resource status – Monitor CPU utilisation, memory consumption, disk usage and temperature. If any gauge enters the yellow or red zone, investigate via the Storage or Settings tabs.
* Camera overview – Review how many cameras are connected and recording. Click the camera count to jump to the Channel tab for a detailed list.
* Alerts – Colour‑coded banners signal warnings or critical issues. Click an alert to open the relevant page for remediation.
* Refresh – The dashboard is a snapshot and does not auto‑refresh. Press F5 or the refresh icon to load current data.
