Tree View

The following structures of a Tree View of cameras are available in the Administrator client:

A Tree View structure for cameras which is organized according to the address system of a client, an external system in this context. In this case, a branch/location in a camera tree is automatically created when corresponding methods are received from the Billing/CMS of a client. The guidelines about how to add a camera to this type of tree are further elaborated in the current documentation article.

In a Custom Tree View structure for cameras, the Administrator manually creates camera branches/locations. For details, navigate to this documentation section.

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 to 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.
