Adding video cameras

You can add cameras to the map in one of three ways:

1. By using the viewing tile context menu.

3. By dragging a video camera icon from the video camera panel to the map.

To add a video camera to the map by using the viewing tile context menu:

1. In the viewing tile context menu, select Add to map.
   
2. Drag the video camera's icon to the place on the map that represents the camera's actual location at the site (1).
   

3. On the map, use the corner nodes to adjust the video camera's field of view to match the actual situation at the site (2, 3).
