Add a camera to a view

  1. In setup mode, select the view you want to add a camera to.
  2. In the Overview pane, expand the required server server_icon to view a list of available cameras from that server.

    Often, you will only see a single server, but if you are connected to a large surveillance system, you may see a hierarchy of several servers. If a server is listed with a red icon, it is unavailable, in which case you will not be able to view cameras from that server.

  3. Select the camera from the list and drag it to the position in the view.

    An image from the camera will—provided a connection can be established—appear in the selected position. If a connection cannot be established, just the camera name is displayed.

    Note: If areas in the video are blurred or grayed out, it is because your system administrator has covered these areas with privacy masks.

You can specify the camera properties (such as quality, frame rate and more) in the Properties pane.

Repeat for each camera required in the view.

Tip: If you want to add multiple cameras to a view in one go (for example all of the cameras from a camera folder under a server), simply drag the folder to the view. This automatically adds all the folder's cameras in the view from the selected position onwards. Make sure a sufficient number of positions are available in the view.

Tip: You can easily change which cameras are included in your view by dragging a different camera to the position.
