Previous page Monitor management  Managing monitors on a local Client Next page

Having appropriate user rights, you can remotely manage monitors on remote Clients connected to a Server within the Domain (see Creating and configuring roles).

The following actions are possible:

  1. Add a layout to an additional monitor of a remote Client.
  2. Select another layout or a camera on the additional monitor.
  3. Edit a layout on the main or additional monitor.
  4. Shut down the additional monitor.

To display a layout on the additional monitor of a remote Client, click anywhere on the required Client's monitor layout diagram, and select a non-distributed video monitor (see Monitor Panel).

Note

You can add a layout to the additional monitor of a remote Client the same way as you do it for a local Client (see Managing monitors on a local Client).

To select another layout on a remote Client's monitor, do the following:

  1. Select the desired layout on the local Client (see Selection and Slideshow of Layouts).
  2. Click anywhere on the remote Client's monitor layout diagram, and then on the required monitor's view.

The selected layout will be displayed on a selected monitor of the remote Client.

If a single camera is displayed on the remote Client's additional monitor, you can switch to another camera by selecting it through the local Client.

To edit the remote Client's main or additional monitor layout, do the following:

  1. Select (see The Layouts Panel) or configure (see Creating and deleting layouts) the desired layout on the local Client.

  2. Click anywhere on the remote Client's monitor layout diagram.

  3. Click the on the main or secondary monitor layout diagram.

The remote Client's layout is saved, and will be available after rebooting the Client.

You can change the set of cameras to be displayed on the main or additional monitor using the Objects Panel; these changes are not saved, and the initial layout is restored after rebooting the Client. To do it, follow the steps below:

  1. Open and lock the Monitor Panel (see Monitor Panel).
  2. Open the Objects Panel (see Objects Panel).
  3. Using the Ctrl or Shift keys, select one or several cameras on the panel.
  4. Left-click on any selected camera.
  5. Drag the camera icon onto a desired cell on the main or additional monitor's layout diagram.
  6. Release the mouse button. 

Another way to put a camera into a desired cell on the main or secondary monitor layout diagram is to capture the camera's icon on the interactive Map (see Working with the interactive map).

You can also move a group of cameras, all cameras from a Server or an Domain.

To close an additional monitor on a remote Client, click the button on the monitor's thumbnail.
