Adding Cameras to the View
Having created a view within a group, you are able to specify which cameras should be included in
the view.
Note: Bear in mind that depending on their user rights not all users may have access to all
cameras on the surveillance system. Thus, even though you may be able to view video from all
cameras in a shared view, other users may not necessarily be able to view video from all the
cameras. Consult your system administrator if in doubt.
To add cameras to a view, do the following:
1. In the Setup tab’s Views section, select the required view. When you select a view, the
layout of the selected view is outlined in the main section of the Remote Client window.
Layout of selected view is outlined in main section
(indicated in red frame in this example)
2. In the Setup tab’s System Overview section, click the plus sign next to the required
engine (server) to view a list of available cameras.
Example: Engine with five available cameras
3. In the list, select a camera and drag the camera to the required position in the view.
When you have dragged a camera to a position in the view, the name of the camera will
appear in the selected position. You will not see video from the camera yet, as the Setup
tab is only for configuration, not for viewing video.
Repeat for each camera required in the view.
Tip: If you want to use all of the cameras under an engine, you may simply drag the
required engine to the view; this will automatically place all of the engine’s cameras in the
view, beginning at the selected position. Remember to have sufficient positions available in
the view.
