# Manage cameras as input for your workflow

For video applications, you probably need to use cameras as input for your application. Deepomatic platform offers an off-the-shelf component to manage the connection of cameras, to add, suspend or stop the connection of cameras or to manage disconnections / reconnections.&#x20;

This component also gives you access to an interface for real-time camera management and visualisation.

## Camera Manager

To access the camera manager interface, get the address of the machine where your application is deployed and enter the following address in your web browser: **http://\<machine address>/manager/** (e.g. [http://localhost/manager/](http://localhost/manager/))
