3.5 Live
This screen allows watching live video images (in real time) from any camera connected to the system. By some
easy steps the splits working area can be populated with cameras.
Some of the main functionalities include viewing cameras, “drag & drop” operations between different screen
components, explorer navigation and filtering, PTZ control, maps navigation, create personalized views or
choose existing views and splits layout selection.
The main screen area is divided into splits. Each split is a cell that grants “drag & drop” a camera into it to start
viewing the camera video stream.
Once a camera is assigned to a split cell, Nethunter connects to it. Depending on the camera model or camera
recorder device it could take some seconds to start receiving live images (in the meantime the text
“Connecting…” will be displayed)
“Drag & drop” operations are allowed into the splits main area to swap cameras between split cells. Also “drag &
drop” operations are available to include cameras into the splits area from the cameras explorer.
It is also possible to “drag & drop” a group of cameras or a complete tree structure just selecting the explorer
node and drop in one split cell on the working area. The first camera will be displayed on the selected split and
the other cameras will be visible on the following ones.
It is also possible to maximize just one split cell by double-clicking it directly with the mouse. Double-clicking it
again the video will come back to the original state in the multi-cell split view.
