Configuring Ocularis-X 

Configuring Ocularis-X includes the creation of 

views

. A 

View

 is the fundamental display when observing video from a 

client application such as 

Ocularis-X

. The screen is divided into one or more panes, each of which may display a 

different camera stream. Ocularis-X supports up to nine HD video streams simultaneously at their original frame rate 

(up to 30 FPS). 

Views in Ocularis-X are configured by the user and are stored on the computer which is used to create the view.  

When you configure a view of cameras, the browser on the local machine saves the configuration information for your 

user account. Therefore, if you were to go to another computer and log in to Ocularis-X, that local computer would 

need to be reconfigured. Similarly, if you stayed on the same PC but launched a different browser and logged in to 

Ocularis-X, configuration will also need to be redone. Lastly, if you clear the browser’s cache, configuration changes 

are lost and must be redone upon next login.
