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.

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.
