Camera Identification/Selection
Add/Remove Cameras
(If you have linked additional cameras to your Monitor)
Select File from the menu and then choose “Add/Remove Camera.” Follow on
screen instructions to add or remove cameras.
The system identifies cameras by number 1, 2, 3, 4 assigned when they were
added. If you have not added any cameras to your system, the camera icon will
be greyed out and the Camera Selection button will not respond when you try to
click on it.
Click the camera button to switch the display to the next camera in the
numerical sequence. Click through the cameras in sequence until you reach the
one you want to view. The number of the camera currently transmitting will be
highlighted on the Control Panel.
If you have multiple cameras installed and active, the software can display each
of these cameras in a scan mode, like the Parent Unit. This scanning feature can
be turned on by going into the Video tab in the Preferences in the File menu.
