Creating Camera Groups

To show the camera groups, you can use the Grid view (cameras are grouped according to various criteria on a grid) and the Graphic view (realistic arrangement of the cameras on a graphical background). You are setting the grid layout for showing the cameras in the Grid view when creating camera groups. Likewise, you can select a background image (for example, ground/floor plan) on which you will be showing the cameras in Graphic view. In addition, you can assign a picture or icon to a group for easier identification.
Note: If you have created a group and have not added any cameras yet, the application will show the icon .

Instructions:

  1. Enter a group name and – if desired – add an image or an icon that will be used to represent the group in the group bar later on. To do so, click on the gray field and select one of the predefined icons. If you want to use one of your own images, click on Custom.
  2. Add a background image: Move the slider to the right until you reach the position. Click on the arrow in the gray field and select the file with the background image (for example, ground or floor plan).
  3. You can add an information page to a camera group in order to show special instructions for this camera group, for example.  Move the slider to the right until you reach the position. Click on the arrow in the gray field and select the file you want to use.
  4. Grid Tiles Bandwidth Limits: If a very large number of cameras are displayed in the Grid View, this can lead to an impairment of the performance. To avoid this, you can limit the frame rate and image size of the live images of the tiles here. This limitation has no effect on the camera displayed in the focus window.
    Use ONVIF LoRes Profile: Use this checkbox to limit the frame rate for third-party cameras that provide an ONVIF S compatible interface and MOBOTIX MOVE cameras. If this checkbox is checked, the settings for the live images in the tiles that were captured in the Bandwidth Settings as LoRes profile for these cameras are used.
