View camera

You can open a layout with the specified camera.

The View camera macro uses the following algorithm:

Searches for the layouts available to the current user that contain the selected camera.
Selects the layout with the minimum number of cells to display the selected camera.
If the required layout doesn't exist, creates a new layout with the selected camera.
Switches to the selected layout, or the created layout.
Executes the specified action.

To configure the View camera macro, do the following:

Go to the Programming tab.
In the Event rules or Cycle rules list, click Create... (see Configuring macros).
Select a start condition that triggers a macro (see Configuring start conditions).
Click the button below start conditions.
From the drop-down list, select Camera: View camera.
In the Camera parameter, select a camera that you want to view or a Camera that initiated command execution (see Configuring start conditions).
Attention!
If a macro is initiated by an event from an input or output (see Configuring start conditions) that is not connected to any camera, you need to select a specific camera for this action. If you select a group of cameras or a camera that initiated the macro, the action doesn't start.

In the Display mode parameter, select the display mode:

Display mode	Description of macro action

Switch to immersion mode	Immersion mode is on, Surveillance window takes up 50% of the screen

In the Specify monitor number parameter, specify the number of the monitor on which the selected camera must be displayed.
