The system will automatically fill the Video View Panel with the cameras from your Live Site Tree in the
order they are listed.
There are several methods for adding cameras to your Video View Panel.
Click on one of the Layout buttons on the Toolbar. If you select the Single Camera view, the system will
display the camera that was in the upper-left square in your Video View Panel. If you select the Two-
By-Two Layout view, the system will keep the camera that is currently in the Video View Panel and grab
the next three cameras from the Live Tree. If you select the Seven Camera Layout view, the system will
keep the four cameras that are currently in the Video View Panel and add the next three cameras from
the Live Tree, and so on.
Double click on one of the cameras listed in the Live Site Tree. The system will display that camera in
the upper-left square of the Video View Panel and fill the additional squares by going down the list.
Drag and drop a camera in a square on the Video View Panel. If a different camera is already being
displayed, the system will switch the view to the new camera.
Press F3 or the joystick button to display the Find Camera dialog, type the name of a connected
camera, and then click Find. This method allows you to display a camera without using a mouse. When
you type a sufficient number of characters to uniquely identify a camera name, the full name of the
camera will automatically appear. For this reason, this feature works best when cameras are uniquely
named. For example, if camera names start with numerical characters (such as 1-Front Entrance, 2-
Back Entrance, and so on), you can quickly find a camera by simply entering one or two numbers in the
Find Camera dialog.
