default camera names

overwriting the existing names.
Note:
Camera names must be unique for each device.
Cam Number
Users of NetGuard-EVS can take advantage of a range of keyboard shortcuts,
some of which let the users toggle between viewing different cameras. Such
shortcuts include numbers, which are used to identify each camera.
Camera shortcut numbers must be unique for each camera, must not contain
any letters or special characters, and must be no longer than eight digits.
Examples of correct camera shortcut numbers:
3
,
12345678
. Examples of
incorrect camera shortcut numbers:
A*3
,
123456789
.
Note:
Camera shortcut numbers are only used in NetGuard-EVS. In other
applications, such as NetGuard, the camera shortcuts cannot be used.
Tip:
You can also assign shortcut numbers to cameras in the
Camera
Name and Number
window
.
Tip:
More information about using the keyboard shortcuts is available in the
documentation for NetGuard-EVS.
