A viewing tile is used to display video stream on the monitor of a computer with specific parameters for the purpose of video surveillance, archive viewing, and forensic search in archives. The viewing tile also has a function which allows the generation and evaluation of alarm events in the process of video monitoring of a guarded location.
The Camera window has flexible display options (see Configuring the Appearance of the Viewing Tile):
- Control buttons over the video image, mode selector buttons inside the window.
- Control buttons over the video, selector buttons outside.
- Control buttons outside the video, selector buttons inside.
- Control buttons and selector buttons outside the video image.
There are two states of a camera window within the layout: active or inactive.
A window in active state includes an additional navigation panel (see Advanced archive navigation panel) and video mode selection tabs.
To switch a window to active state, click anywhere inside the window; clicking outside de-activates it.
A more detailed description of the functions of the viewing tile can be found in the section titled Video Surveillance.
If the connection to the camera is lost, the camera window is darkened and you get a corresponding message on the most recently received image.
