Camera List

The Camera List gives the user quick access to all system cameras, to cameras at a specific site which belong to a specific group, to camera groups, or to cameras in a specific state. Each row in the list represents one camera, and shows the camera name, the site and a series of state icons indicating which cameras are being viewed or are unavailable for viewing. The list is sorted alphabetically according to the site name, and then the camera name.

Because a video network may contain thousands of cameras it makes sense to apply a filter to the camera list based on camera location or camera state. It is easy to get a list of all cameras on a specific site by dropping the site on the camera list tab.

	The Camera Sync State detects the initial state of the camera for G-Core media sources. If the VideoSyncFailed action is detected, it means that the connection to the camera is lost. The Camera Sync State icon is displayed in the camera bar. When the VideoSyncDetected action is detected, it means that the connection to the camera is re-established. The Camera Sync State icon is not displayed.

Though most of it is obvious, the following is highlighted:

Activity and Status The last column in the list shows the current status of the camera e.g. viewed or unavailable for viewing. See Camera Status Indicators later in this chapter for more detail.

Dock List This function allows the Camera List to be duplicated in any viewer. After clicking it the available viewer windows will be highlighted with the corresponding short-cut key that may be pressed to dock the list in the designated viewer (see Main Interface).

Unblock all Cameras Blocked by Me All blocked cameras of the user will be unblocked, not only the blocked cameras visible in the Camera List. See Camera Detail.

Filtering the Camera List

Filtering is as explained in Filtering.
