In the camera management, you can add cameras, create camera groups and edit both cameras and camera groups. You can access the camera management from the Grid, Graphic, Live and Info views. In Live view, this button also switches to the next camera. Simply click on the button.
You can combine several cameras into camera groups. For example, you can combine all cameras situated on the same floor in one group. This allows checking on entire surveillance areas at one glance and – in case of an alarm, you are quicker to access the relevant cameras. To show the camera groups, you can use the Grid view (cameras are grouped according to various criteria on a grid) and the Graphic view (realistic arrangement of the cameras on a graphical background).
When creating camera groups, you are setting the grid layout for showing the cameras in Grid View. Likewise, you can select a ground/floor plan on which you will be showing the cameras in Graphic view. In addition, you can assign a picture or icon to a group for easier identification.
You can use group functions in the Graphic, Grid, Live and Info views. For example, you can switch the lights of several cameras at once, make an announcement via several speakers or open a door without having to select a specific camera.
Deleting Group Functions: To delete a function, drag the icon away from the camera line.
If you need to modify the camera or group data, you can do so using the camera management.
If a camera is not available in the current network environment or if you want to hide the camera within the system, you can deactivate the camera. Doing so will prevent unnecessary connection attempts to the camera.
Deleting a camera group will not delete the cameras that are assigned to the group.
