2. To activate the Active camera mode, set the Active camera switch in the Basic settings tab (1).
3. To activate the Alarm cameras mode, set the Alarm cameras switch in the Basic settings tab (2). As a result, the Min field is available.

4. In the Max field, specify the required maximum number of cameras boxes which are to be displayed on the Monitor in the Alarm cameras or List mode (3). If the number of alarm cameras exceeds the maximum one, then displaying of camera boxes, alarms on which have been registered earlier, is stopped. 

   Info
   title Example
   The Monitor object is set for operation with maximum number of alarm cameras, equal to 5. Boxes of 4 alarm cameras are displayed in the Monitor box. Alarms on these cameras have been registered in the following sequence: Camera 1, Camera 2, Camera 3 and Camera4. When alarm has been registered on three more cameras, seven cameras are alarmed at the same time. This exceeds a maximum acceptable number, so the displaying of Camera 1 and Camera 2 boxes is stopped.

   If the number of cameras is less than the maximum or not specified, then camera windows fill the maximum available space of the Monitor.

   Info
   title Note
   In order for camera windows in the Monitor to be displayed as symmetrical boxes (1, 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, etc.), it is necessary to add the TrySquareLayout registry key (see Registry keys reference guide).

   
   

5. If the Alarm cameras mode is selected, then in the Min field specify the required minimum layout to be displayed on the Monitor (4). If the number of alarm cameras is less than a minimum one, then less than minimum boxes of cameras are displayed on the Monitor while size of boxes stays according to the Min field. The following layouts (number of camera boxes) are available: 1, 4, 9, etc.
   If there is no alarm, and if the default value of 0 (zero) is set for the Min parameter, the camera boxes are not displayed in the Monitor box. By default, the Min field is empty.

   Info
   title Example
   The Monitor object is set for operation with minimum number of alarm cameras, equal to 3. Boxes of 5 alarm cameras are displayed in the Monitor box. When alarm on 4 cameras is stopped in the consequence: Camera 1, Camera 2, Camera 3 and Camera 4, one camera is in the alarm mode. This is less than a minimum number, so Camera 5 is displayed on the Monitor in a size corresponding to layout with 4 camera boxes.

7. If necessary, specify the required value (in seconds) of automatic slideshow for camera boxes in the Slideshow field (6). The default camera boxes scroll interval is 3 second. If you enter 0 in the field, the default value will be applied. The maximum possible value is 600 seconds.
