Automatic Cycling Through Cameras
Cycling to the next camera can be automated. This means that the software switches
automatically every five seconds to the next camera that has been activated in the Overview.
You can select this setting with the Sequencer button. You can also set the frequency of
cycling under Tools | Preferences in the “Behavior“ tab.
You can switch to the previous camera or the next camera before the set time interval has
elapsed using the arrow keys on your keyboard (
Ctrl+ ← or Ctrl+ ←). You can stop
or restart the automatic cycle through the images by pressing
Ctrl+Spacebar. This
gives you more time to review a specific situation, for example.
Note
Camera Sequence
The activated cameras will normally be displayed in the same sequence as they appear
in the Camera Management. If a camera in the main window is replaced by a camera
in the image bar as described above, this will change the sequence accordingly. Each
change in the Camera Overview (activation or deactivation of cameras, switching
the sequence of the cameras) changes the display sequence to match the current
sequence in the Camera Overview.
3.2.2 Detection Of Alarms
If a camera has triggered an alarm, it will be displayed with a flashing red lightning symbol
in the live image. This symbol is displayed until you acknowledge the alarm by clicking in
the image. This applies to both the main window and the image bar.
You can specify in detail how the system reacts to an alarm under Tools | Preferences in
the “Behavior“ tab (see
“4.4.3 Alarm And Doorbell Notification Behavior“ ).
You can find details on how to set up alarms and alarm notification in
“3.5 Recordings
And Alarms“
