In the Graphic view, you can show a ground or floor plan to place the cameras or camera groups according to their actual positions. In case of an alarm, the icon of the corresponding camera turns red (or green upon a ringing event). A simple click is enough to show the current live image of the triggering camera, allowing you to quickly check the situation. Use the group buttons of the command bar to switch the lights of several cameras at once, to open several doors or to make an announcement over several speakers for one or more cameras of the group regardless of the focus window contents. In addition, you can right-click on the group buttons and open the context menu to control cameras that are not part of the current group. For easier handling later on, you can even drag these control onto the plan and simply click on them to execute the corresponding function. This makes sense if you want to control the door features of a camera close to its position on the plan.
In case you want to monitor the live images of cameras of other camera groups in the Graphic view, you can temporarily drag these live images onto the plan. Temporarily means that these live images will be removed if you open a different view.
From the camera group bar, you can drag other camera groups onto the plan. If a camera of that group triggers an alarm, the program shows a red or green bar at the bottom border of that icon. If you want to check the current situation of that camera group, simply click on the group icon to see the camera group in the Grid view.
