Step 3b: Set Up Event-Triggered
Camera-Views
Doors and sensors on maps can be associated
with a 'camera-view' to trigger a camera when
selected events occur at the device (access
denied, sensor tripped, etc.).
Notes: This feature pertains to individual 'views' (i.e.,
the map and 'camera-views' must be on the same
'View', and the camera images will be visible only when
that 'view' is displayed. Conversely, "Advanced
Camera Settings" (camera-view assignments) on a
specific map will apply to ALL 'views' that contain the
same map, though the camera(s) will be visible only for
'views' that contain the target 'camera-view'.
Panel Firmware: This feature requires panel firmware
version 4.15 or 4.2 (where available) or newer.
Overview of Steps:
 Define maps (1a), cameras (1b), and
camera-views (1c).
 Define view(s) and arrange the desired
maps, cameras, and/or 'camera-views'
therein (2).
 Place items such as doors and sensors
(input points) onto the maps (3a).
 Set "Advanced Camera Settings" for each
device that is to trigger a camera (to follow).

Screen Reference
- Camera View: A previously-defined placeholder
that determines where the camera image will
appear. (Each camera-view shows the last-
triggered camera associated with it.)
Exception: Camera-views close when you select a
different 'view', or move to a different screen/topic.
Note: For a camera-image that cannot be overwritten
by another one, use :
 A fixed camera (step 2);  A
link to a fixed camera (step 3a), or;  Set up a
'camera-view' that will not be used with any other
cameras (steps 1c & 3b).
