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 a number of available cameras
3. Click the name of a camera, and drag the camera name to the required position in the
view.
When you have dragged a camera to a position in the view, an image from the camera
will—provided a connection can be established—appear in the selected position.
If a connection cannot be established, for example if the surveillance system’s Monitor
application is not running, the name of the camera will be displayed in the selected
position.
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 link to the view; this will automatically place all of the engine’s cameras in
the view from the selected position onwards. Remember to have sufficient positions
available in the view.
Tip: You can easily change the cameras in your view: Either clear the position by
clicking the clear button , then drag another camera to the cleared position, or simply
“overwrite” a position by dragging a different camera to the position.
4. You are now able to use your view: You may—your user rights permitting—select the view
on the Live tab (see Viewing Live Images on page 32) and on the Browse tab (see Viewing
Recorded Images on page 37).
