Switching Cameras in Camera Positions
You are able to change the cameras displayed in a view's camera positions. This way you are able
to switch between viewing video from different cameras in the same camera position in a view.
This feature is only available for single-camera positions; not for hotspots, carousels, or Matrix
positions.
To switch cameras in a position, do the following:
1. Select the required view.
2. Right-click inside the required camera position; you now get access to a shortcut menu.
3. In the menu, first select Camera. Next, select the required server in the first submenu (the
Smart Client supports viewing of cameras from several servers), then select the required
camera in the second submenu.
Example: Selecting another camera for display in the view position. In this
case all cameras are connected to a single server; your surveillance system
may have several servers.
Tip: The camera originally displayed in the view position will be listed at the top of the
first submenu, with the word (default) after the camera name. This helps you quickly
switch back to viewing the original camera.
Tip: If camera shortcut numbers have been defined on the surveillance system server,
you are also able to use keyboard shortcuts for switching between cameras; see Using
Standard Keyboard Shortcuts on page 97 for more information. If such camera shortcut
numbers have been defined, they will appear in brackets before camera names in the
shortcut menu, as it the case in the example illustration.
Sending Video between Views
You are able to send video from a selected camera position to another single-camera position in an
open view, including any views you may have open in floating windows or on secondary displays.
This feature is only available for single-camera positions; not for hotspots, carousels, or Matrix
positions.
To send video to another camera position in an open view, do the following:
1. Select the view that includes the camera from which you want to send video.
2. Right-click inside the required camera position; you now get access to a shortcut menu.
3. In the menu, first select Send Camera. Next, select the required destination view in the
first submenu, then select the required camera position in the second submenu.
