The top menu bar opens access to the main features of the video portal and allows you to configure the screen layout according to your needs. The Help menu and Profile can be opened from here as well.
Top Menu bar icons and their functions are explained below:
- Camera Menu: The camera list shows all connected cameras. Start typing the camera name to search for it. At the bottom of the list, you can filter cameras by:
- Active- shows cameras that are currently online - this tab is opened by default the first time the video portal is accessed in the current browser session
- PTZ - shows PTZ-enabled cameras
- Offline - shows cameras that are currently offline
- Navigation Menu: The navigation menu opens access to camera groups. Here layouts can be categorized and sorted. Start typing the layout name to search for it.
- Groups Menu: Group Menu shows the user all the camera layouts that have been previously saved and allows a user to designate a default layout into which the user will be logged in every time.
- Events Menu: Menu events show all events that were detected by the camera. You can search for events using available filters. If Face Recognition is enabled for any of the cameras match results will be shown on the Faces tab.
