Cameras Tab

The Cameras tab (see Figure 34) contains a tree diagram of all currently
connected servers and their cameras. To see a  list of cameras connected to a
server, expand the server by clicking its plus button. To view video from a
listed camera, drag it to a video window. You can view video simultaneously
from multiple connected servers.

When viewing recorded video from the Event History or Recorded
Video page, the Cameras tab is replaced by the Search tab. For
information on the Search tab, see “Event History Page” and
“Recorded Video Page” in this chapter.

Note

Figure 34

The Cameras tab
allows you to select
cameras and drag
them into a video
window in order to
view it.
