By default a single Video surveillance monitor displays all windows related to it. The buttons on the top left side of the tools panel are used for changing the number of surveillance windows displayed on the monitor.

The  button is used to display a single selected window, the other buttons – to simultaneously display a certain number of windows (4, 6, 9 or 16) on the monitor. The set of displayed buttons changes automatically depending on the maximum number of video cameras corresponding to the Video surveillance monitor.

Double left clicking in the Surveillance window on any layout, except for the six layouts, allows increasing the size of the Surveillance window while some Surveillance windows will be hidden on the Video surveillance monitor. Double right clicking on the video allows returing to the original layout. When using the MaximizeCameraOnDblClk registry key (see Registry keys reference guide), double left clicking swithes the Surveillance window to the single layout mode from any layout, including the six layout mode.


The MaximizeCameraOnDblClk and MinimizeCameraOnDblClk key features are described in the table:


Key valuesAction on mouse double-click
MaximizeCameraOnDblClk = 0
MinimizeCameraOnDblClk = 0

Standard behavior, the window size does not increase in the six layout mode.

MaximizeCameraOnDblClk = 0
MinimizeCameraOnDblClk = 1
Standard behavior, the window size does not increase in the six layout mode.
MaximizeCameraOnDblClk = 1
MinimizeCameraOnDblClk = 0

The six layout mode is switched to the single layout mode on left double-click, six layout mode is switched to the smaller window size on right double-click.

MaximizeCameraOnDblClk = 1
MinimizeCameraOnDblClk = 1

The window size is switched to the single layout mode on left double-click, the window size is switched to the smaller window size on right or left double-click.


In addition, the number of video surveillance windows can be changed using the custom layouts - see Windows layout on the monitor. However, the left double-click always increases the viewing window to the full-screen single layout mode. Moreover, if the user layout is selected, the layout mode buttons are disabled, regardless of the number of the windows displayed on the selected layout.


If GreenStream is configured (see Configuring an auto select of video stream for displaying), then when changing the number of Surveillance windows and scaling the video, the video streams used for their display can be automatically changed.

The Monitor tools panel can be disabled due to the system setup.

If the Overlay 1 mode is enabled during the system setup, then the surveillance window scaling by double-clicking is disabled, and the surveillance windows layout cannot be changed.
