floor. Instead of viewing your cameras as they are physically connected to your HDVR systems, you
create four named groups consisting of eight cameras each. It’s much easier for a user to find cameras
when they are located in named groups that match the logical layout of their building.
In addition to monitoring live video, groups are very useful for searching video. On the search video
screen simply click on the Groups navigation pane on the lower left corner of the screen then select
your group and search.
To access the Group Setup page, click Group Setup from the Setup Site Tree.
Create a new group by clicking on the New Group button.
In the Group Details setup box Group Name will be populated with New Group. Type a unique name
over New Group and tab to the Description box to describe the new group you’re creating.
Select an icon to represent your group.
This icon will be displayed to the left of the group in the Live and Search site trees.
To add cameras to your group, select a camera from the All Cameras list and then click the Add button.
The video will be displayed in the upper left hand corner, and your camera name will appear in the
Cameras in Group box. Continue adding cameras until your group is complete.
