Navigator will remember your custom panel layout upon logout and restore you to that
same point when you log back in.
The Navigator panel is the central administration area in the software and allows you to
quickly search and access any device or camera in your system.
The Navigator features double-click or drag n’ drop capability to view cameras or
devices as a whole. By right-clicking on any object in the Navigator, you will be exposed
to a number of operations that can be performed on the object. These include health
diagnostics, device configuration, disk analysis, properties, search, firmware uploads,
and more.
This panel is permission-based, so if you do not have rights to perform certain actions,
you will not see the options.
The Viewer panel allows you to view both live and recorded video from any video source
in the system to verify and act on the content. It contains live or previous recorded
videos that can be launched from the Notifier, Navigator, or Collector.
Users have several tile layouts to choose from when arranging the video sources.
Standard tile layouts include 1Ч1, 2Ч2, 3Ч3, 4Ч4, and 5×5. We also support a Custom
Tile Layout with 1 large tile and 7 smaller surrounding tiles for additional flexibility.
Double-clicking in any single tile will bring that video to full screen. Double-clicking the
video again will restore the video to the previous tile layout. As well, Instant Replay is
available from the video tile itself by clicking on the Instant Replay icon.
If your system contains PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) cameras, the Viewer panel has mouse
support for PTZ features from within the video tile. Left-click and move the mouse
left\right\up and down to adjust the pan and tilt of the camera. Right-click and move the
mouse up and down to allow the camera lens to zoom in and out.
The Controller panel allows you to manage video once it is loaded in the Viewer. The
Controller features a toolbar, a timeline, playback controls, and stream switching
capabilities. When a specific video tile is selected (blue outline around the video tile),
the Controller features will affect that video tile.
The Controller toolbar allows you to select all video tiles in the viewer, zoom in and out
on the timeline, center the timeline, open the PTZ control palette, perform a Go To
search, and put video in live or playback. The Snapshot button allows you to take a
snapshot of the current play time of a selected video tile and send it to the Collector for
export. The Video button allows you to send a desired video segment (of the time range
you specified with the green and red indicators) to the Collector for export.
The Controller timeline allows users to seek for video at specific points in time. Double-
clicking anywhere on the timeline will automatically playback the selected video at that
specific date and time. Use the current live/playback cursor (appears as a blue seek
triangle icon) to seek and play the video anywhere along the timeline. Use the green and
