General information

You can open a layout with the specified camera.

The View camera macro uses the following algorithm:

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

Configuring an action

To configure the View camera macro, do the following:

1. Go to the Programming tab.
2. In the Event rules or Cycle rules list, click Create... (see Configuring macros).
3. Select a start condition that triggers a macro (see Configuring start conditions).
4. Click the  button below start conditions.
5. From the drop-down list, select Camera: View camera.
6. In the Camera parameter, select a camera that you want to view or a Camera that initiated command execution (see Configuring start conditions).
   

   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.

   
7. In the Display mode parameter, select the display mode:

   Display mode	Description of macro action
   Select camera	Camera is highlighted on the layout
   Zoom in camera	Camera is highlighted on the layout, Surveillance window takes up 98% of the screen
   Zoom in and show map	Camera is highlighted on the layout, Surveillance window takes up 50% of the screen. The map with the selected camera is displayed
   Switch to immersion mode	Immersion mode is on, Surveillance window takes up 50% of the screen
   Switch to archive mode	Camera is highlighted on the layout and it is in the Archive mode. If a group of cameras is specified, then a layout is created with all the cameras in the Archive mode
   Mark camera	Camera is added and highlighted on the Marked cameras layout (see Creating special layouts)
   Unmark camera	Camera is removed from the Marked cameras layout (see Creating special layouts)

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