Tips and Tricks

Can Nova plug into your dispatch software? Yes, and if you're running First Due, hooking in your live drone feed takes less than a minute. Here's exactly how to do it.
Getting Your Nova Livestream Link
From within Nova, click the Settings icon in the bottom left-hand corner.
Select Live Stream from the dropdown.
Copy your link. Whether you grab the All Stream link or a Mission Groups link doesn't matter, either one works the same way once it's in First Due.
Adding It to First Due
Open First Due.
Select Menu on the right-hand side.
Select Outside Resources.
Click the + button to add a new tab.
Paste your Nova link into the new tab: we'd recommend naming it "Nova Livestream" so it's consistent across your department.

That's it. Once it's added, your dispatch and command staff have live drone footage sitting right alongside your other resources in First Due; no login, no extra app, just click and watch.
