Viewing Live Video
XX185-30 Rev 807 Kollector Lite
Step 2: Selecting Cameras
When you launch the ViconNet application, the
Video Display
area of the
Main
window is initially empty, as
there is no automatic display of live video. In order to view live video in the
Video Display
area, you must first
select the camera that transmits the required data.
When you select a device, the video is then streamed into the selected video display location in the
Video
Display
area.
The ViconNet
Site List
enables you to select devices for viewing live video by navigating through the tree and
selecting first the required recorder/transmitter and then the required devices. The available devices in the
Site List
are configured during system setup, as described in
Chapter 3, Configuring
the ViconNet System
.
Selecting a device from the tree automatically begins the device operation (video transmission) in the
selected video display location in the
Main
window.
As transmission begins, the appropriate controls for the specific type of device that you selected become
active in the
Control Dialog Display
area, which enables you to modify the live video, as described in the
subsequent sections in this chapter.
The maximum number of cameras that can be selected simultaneously is sixteen, depending on the current
display mode. If all display locations are in use and you select another camera, the selected camera replaces
one of the previously displayed cameras.
To select a device from the Site List:
1. In
the
Main
window, ensure that you have selected the appropriate display mode for the total number of
devices that you want to select, as described in
Step 1: Selecting the Display Mode
, page 178.
2. Expand the required transmitter to display a list of the currently connected cameras, as shown below:
