Camera viewers require VLC Media Player (64-bit). |
Adding a Viewer
Enable the Config Function. In the Configuration Tree, click on the Camera Group you wish your new Viewer to be in.
In the Configuration Panel, select New, then choose New Video Viewer.
The Create New Video Viewer window will appear. Name the new Viewer, then select Finish.
...
OR
Select the Camera you wish to stream from in the Configuration Tree.
In the Configuration Panel, select Add Viewer.
In the Configuration Tree, a blank Video Viewer will appear.
Use the new Viewer's settings in the Configuration Panel (see below) to Edit the Viewer; create a name and add a Stream URL etc.
Select Save, then test your new Viewer by toggling Preview Viewer on.
If the selected camera is an ONVIF compliant device then using the Add Viewer option from the camera will try and automatically populate the viewer URL and it will adopt the same username and password that was used to connect to the camera. This creates a fully operational viewer without having to configure the viewer settings. For this to work, the Camera Controller must be connected to the camera, therefore it must have been allocated to the Camera Controller in the Topology Manager.
...
There are two ways to open a viewer:
By selecting it from the Configuration Tree.
By selecting a viewer from the Viewers list.

There is a limitation with Point to Move immediately after a relative move, as we don't know where a camera is. So you have to wait for an absolute move before you can use Point to Move feature again. The system will warn you as you will see a red ring on the screen, as in the image below, and the command will not be actioned. |
...
You can use the mouse to Left -Hand Click+Drag which displays a white pointer, moving the camera in the direction of the arrow. It can be moved in any direction away from the centre of the viewer. This allows you to move the camera in a diagonal direction, which the Direction & Magnification Controller can’t perform in one operation. The movement is proportional; manoeuvring it a little will move the camera a short distance, the further out you drag the arrow, will make the camera travel much further.
...
These viewers are accessed in two ways:
Moving your mouse over a camera and leaving it on the camera will cause the viewer to show. Keeping the mouse over the viewer will keep it visible otherwise it will automatically close after a few seconds. Whilst the viewer is open you can pin it to the PPI Map using the pin icon to ensure it remains open.
Select the camera, and then from the camera mini control select the viewer button from the title bar. Note that this approach automatically pins the viewer to the PPI Map.
There are three sizes of viewer to choose from, small, medium and large. In the example below the smallest size viewer has been selected:
