Video Pages

Video Pages on Icareus Suite lets users make a custom grouping of assets in the form of an embedded public page. It is also possible to secure this page by adding access restrictions for the page.

Please request Icareus to enable this feature for your account.

Admin UI


  1. Add a new page from the pages section
  2. Select restriction type (optional). If selected, the customer must generate a valid Security ID (see Restriction section below) for their users to access the page
  3. Select a banner image (mandatory)
The embed URL for the page is generated and shown in above UI after the page is created
The page does not have any styling be default. Icareus can manually add some basic styling (colors and fonts) to that page upon request

Public Page

At the moment it is not possible to configure styles for the page by Suite Admin U, as noted in above sections. Please contact Icareus for any updates and issues on that page.
An example of public video page with banner:

Restriction: Security Token

When the security token restriction type is selected, a secret security key is generated by Icareus Suite. This key is unique for the Page, so it cannot be reused for other Pages. To copy the security key for pasting purposes, click the copy button.

To calculate the security token for a specific remote IP, concatenate the IP number as text, a hyphen (minus) and the security key as a string, and then make an SHA-256 hash of the string.

Assuming we have a Java method sha256 which calculates the SHA-256 hash, the statement for calculating the security token is:

  1. String securityToken = sha256( remoteIP + "-" + securityKey );

To access the Page, the viewer's link must contain the parameter sid whose value must be the security token specific to their IP.

As an example, assume that the remote IP is 185.185.168.162 and the secret key is dc5a7f467f01fb7d9962b2062d24775c559edb50569f2d7b9588850dd21e75a5.

For viewers from this remote IP, the security token needed is the SHA-256 of 185.185.168.162-dc5a7f467f01fb7d9962b2062d24775c559edb50569f2d7b9588850dd21e75a5.

The correct security token in this case is 4c4163263e408f5fa04eebd71f2ee2ccc4686b1119f95a5a415bd0b2701fa4a5.

Assuming the Video Page URL for this example Page is

a viewer from 185.185.168.162 can use a link such as

https://suiterc.icareus.com/web/test-account/embed/videos?groupItemId=3102202&sid=4c4163263e408f5fa04eebd71f2ee2ccc4686b1119f95a5a415bd0b2701fa4a5
to access the event. Without the correct sid, the viewer will only see an empty web page.
