Camera names and colored indicators

By default, the camera title bar displays the name of the camera. You can change this in setup mode on the Live tab, in the Properties pane.

The round video indicator is placed in the upper right corner of the camera title bar. This indicator changes color to display the current status of the video in the view item. The list below describes the different colors:

Green - A connection to the camera is established
Red - Video from the camera is being recorded
Yellow - Playing back recorded video
Gray - The video has not changed for more than two seconds

The motion indicator appears when motion is detected. Click inside the image to reset the motion indicator. This indicator will not appear if no motion has been detected.

The event indicator appears when specific events occur. This is defined by the surveillance system administrator. Click inside the image to reset the event indicator. The indicator will not appear if event indication has not been specified for the camera, or if no specified events have occurred.

Note: This feature is only available in certain surveillance systems and requires that notifications on events have been configured on the server.

Tip: Event and motion indications can be accompanied by sound notifications.

The camera connection indicator appears when the server connection to the camera is lost. A camera may stop working for various reasons, for example, if it has been configured only to be available during certain hours of the day, or because of camera or network maintenance, or a change in configuration on the surveillance system server.
