The Surveillance Client allows the display of multiple objects (Cameras, Maps...) on screen for monitoring. These objects are added in a Camera and Object View Panel:
The Camera and Object View Panel can take on different layouts (Screen Style) for better organization of the objects on the screen. The system has some standard layouts and also allows the creation of new layouts:
In addition to the common layouts, the system has 2 special layout types:
|
Automatic: This layout allows the creation of automatic sizing layouts, that is, as many objects as necessary can be inserted into this layout and thus the mosaic automatically resizes the size of the space reserved for each object so that they can all be displayed on the screen simultaneously. This layout will always grow symmetrically (2x2, 3x3, 4x4, etc...). |
|
Timer: This layout allows the creation of a sequence of objects and views that will be displayed on the screen alternately with a waiting time defined by the user. To learn how to use this feature, see the topic on Timer Views. |
To change the current layout, simply click on the icon for the new desired layout on the control. If the layout list is too long, click the right and left arrow icons to move the layout list.
After selecting the desired layout, you can add objects to the screen, and save this current positioning of objects in a View, so you can reload this view of objects in the future, just by reloading the saved view. To learn more about working with views, see the Views topic.
When changing the layout, the system may automatically display the last view saved for the new layout, if the option to Remember the last view when changing layouts is activated. If this option is disabled, the system will be able to Keep objects on screen when changing layout if this second option is activated, otherwise, the system will clear the screen, removing all objects, when changing layout.
