The camera in the list will be indicated with a special icon (as on the image below) when an additional address is specified in the setting on the General data tab of the camera details.

Transfer a camera to another branch

Provided that you have the necessary permissions, you can transfer cameras from one tree branch to another.

2. In the opened form, enter at least three characters to search for a relevant address or select from the drop-down list.

The list of cameras

The cameras are structured according to a hierarchical addressing system. This is helpful when navigating through the camera tree. The numerical identifier specifies a number of cameras associated with the specific city/street/house.

To view cameras in a specific location, find the address in the tree and select the number. As a result, all cameras of the selected location will be displayed in the table.

The table includes a set of tabs. The number and name of tabs are configured in the client’s billing system. The default table contains at least two tabs:

• Tab No.1 includes a group of cameras. It’s possible to add multiple tabs to group cameras according to certain properties, such as access restrictions, user type, and more.

• Tab No.2 includes a list of user logins who have access to cameras.

In the current showcase, the interface with the Public, Private, and Logins tabs is used.

Selecting a row of a separate cameras will navigate you to the page with the camera details. More about the camera details is on the View, add and edit camera details documentation page.

Search

To initiate a camera search in the Search field, input a minimum of three characters. The search criteria include:

• A camera name

• An IP address

• A camera UUID

The search is performed automatically as you enter characters. Consequently, only the cameras that match your search will be visible in the camera tree and table.

To return to the default view of the table, perform one of the following actions:

• Clear the Search field.

• Select the Х icon in the Search field.

• Select the Clear filter and show all cameras button.

Add a camera

You can add a camera only to a specific branch/location.

To add a camera, follow these steps:

2. Call out the context menu by selecting the vertical ellipses icon (as in the image below) and select Add camera.

3. On the opened Create camera panel, complete the camera details. You can find a detailed description in the Add a camera documentation section.
