Use Control Hub to view camera inventory and manage the device firmware.
Cisco Desk Camera automatically appears in the Control Hub inventory when it connects to Webex App or Webex App for VDI . You can view camera inventory details and manage the firmware for the deployed cameras.
 | Cisco Desk Camera 1080p doesn't support Webex App for VDI on Linux or macOS. |
As an administrator, you can view and sort through individual cameras in Control Hub.
Each camera page displays the camera model, serial number, firmware version, connection status, and how long the camera has been connected. You can also view the camera settings.
