Switching to layout editing mode

You can add links to other cameras to the Surveillance Wwndow. If you click such a link, you go to the corresponding camera (see Switching to other camera via a link in the Camera Window).

To add a link, do the following:

  1. While holding the Ctrl button on your keyboard, left-click the camera icon on the Objects Panel (see Objects Panel), and drag it into the Surveillance window.

    A link will be added to a window as an icon .
  2. To rotate the icon, click . Each click rotates the icon by 45°.

    If you add a text note to the link (see 3), the icon disappears after you rotate it by 360°, and you will have just the text to switch to another camera.

    To bring back the icon, click .


    To remove the link, click the button.


  3. If required, you can add a text comment to a link via the appropriate text field. To set font attributes, click the button.
  4. Use buttons to scale up/down the text and the icon.
  5. You can move the link just as any other object (see Moving input and output icons in a viewing tile).

When the layout is saved, you see the newly created link in the Surveillance window.
