Introduction

This section labels the main aspects of the AdvanceGuard® Mobile Client display.

The behaviour of the AdvanceGuard® Mobile Client will reflect the configuration of the AdvanceGuard® application. For example; a user logged into the Mobile client will have the same permissions as in the main application. Unlike the main Windows application, these permissions cannot be set using the Mobile client, they must be configured in the main client.

  3. A camera will return to follow targets if there any breaking rules or return to its home position after a manual move. Both options will happen after the dwell timeout which is configurable on the camera settings in the main application.

If no camera is selected, then the Camera Controller will select the most suitable camera to view the selected location. This will depend on a number of factors including range, configured camera areas and availability. If a camera is selected then this will be the camera that is used to view the selected location.

The user can then select the desired timeout period of 5m to 125m; after which the area will automatically revert to the previous state. The Immediate option bypasses the timeout and indefinitely fixes the area at the selected state.
