Wireless-N Internet Home Monitoring Camera

Viewing Area

The viewing area takes up most of the LiveView window.
The viewing area can have four different layouts, with
video windows for one, four, six, or nine Cameras.
The layout is selected using the video layout controls
described in “Video Layout’” below.

Viewing Area - Single-Camera Display

Viewing Area - Four-Camera Display

Viewing Area - Six-Camera Display

Viewing Area - Nine-Camera Display

Multiple-Camera Layouts

In a multiple-Camera layout, one of the video windows
is always outlined in green. This indicates the currently
selected Camera. The Controls section can be used to
perform various functions on the video from this Camera.
For information on the video control buttons, refer to
“Controls” below.

The name of each Camera is overlaid on that Camera’s
video window. To specify a different Camera than the
selected Camera, click on that Camera’s video window.

Each Camera can be displayed using any of the video
windows in the layout. To move a Camera from one video
window to another, click and drag the Camera’s video
window to another video window. The two Cameras
originally assigned to each of the two windows will then
swap places. This is especially useful for the six-Camera
layout, which has one large video window and five smaller
ones. A Camera assigned to one of the smaller windows
can be quickly enlarged by dragging it to the large
window.

To quickly view any Camera’s video at full scale, double-
click that Camera’s video window. The layout will change
to a single-camera display of the selected Camera’s video.

View Layout

This section of the LiveView window lets you change the
layout of the viewing area. To select a particular layout,
click the layout’s icon.
