Search for views and cameras

With the search function for views and cameras you can search directly for available views and cameras. Not only by searching for names, but also by searching for description, type and keywords.

You can find an overview of common keywords if you click next to the search field.

You can see matching results for views and cameras while you type.

Search for a camera

When you search for cameras in live and playback mode, you can view the cameras in a temporary view that is optimized for the amount of cameras you select.

You can click a single camera to view it in a 1:1 view, or you can click the heading of the camera results to view all discovered cameras (or the first 25). You can also select cameras manually if you press either CTRL or Shift while clicking one or more cameras. Press Enter to view the cameras.

You cannot create new views based on temporary views.

You can search for these camera characteristics:

• Name
• Description
• Capability:
  • PTZ
  • Audio
  • Input
  • Output
• Views containing a specific camera
• Recording Server name or address (shows connected cameras)

TIP: Your system administrator can add free text tags in the camera description field on the surveillance server to make it possible to group cameras and search for these tags. An example could be that all outdoor cameras use the tag "Outdoor" in the description field. In that case, all cameras of this type can easily be found.
