Categories
Select a command category and then select one of the associated
commands. If you want all your views listed to allow you to create
keyboard shortcuts for individual views, select the Views.All
category.
Some commands only work when the keyboard shortcut is used in
certain contexts. For example, a keyboard shortcut with a PTZ-
related command will only work when using a PTZ camera.
Parameter
If relevant, specify a parameter for the command or action. For
example, if you want to specify the window and view position for the
Copy the selected camera view item parameter, enter 2;1 to have
the camera copied to the floating window (window 2), in the first
view position (view position 1).
Alarm options
Select whether or not you want alarms to play sound notifications.
Advanced options
The Advanced options let you customize advanced XProtect Smart Client options. If you are not
familiar with the advanced options and how they work, just keep their default settings. If connected to
certain types of surveillance systems (see "Surveillance system differences" on page 42), you will see
a Follow Server column, which you can use for making your XProtect Smart Client follow the
surveillance system server's recommended settings. You may experience that certain settings are
already server-controlled, in which case configuration on the server decides whether or not you are
able to override those settings.
