TIP: Your system administrator can add free text tags in the camera description field on the
surveillance server to make it possible to group cameras and search for these tags. An example could
be that all outdoor cameras use the tag "Outdoor" in the description field. In that case, all cameras of
this type can easily be found.
Send video between views
You can send video from a selected camera position to another single-camera position in a view,
including any views you may have in floating windows or on secondary displays. This feature is not
available for hotspots (on page 84), carousels (on page 90), or Matrix (on page 93) positions.

On the camera toolbar, click More > Send Camera, select the destination view, and then
select the position in the view where you want the video for that camera to display.
If some of the camera positions are not selectable, they might be unavailable or used for
hotspots, carousels, or Matrix content.
You can also send video content to separate windows (see "Multiple windows" on page 91) or
displays.
Change cameras in views
You can temporarily change the cameras that are displayed in a view. However, this feature is for
provisionally switching cameras; it does not permanently change the view. To restore your original
view, click the reload view button on the workspace toolbar: . If you want to permanently change
the content of a view (see "Add a camera to a view" on page 45), you must be in setup mode.
You cannot change cameras if the view contains a hotspot (see "Hotspots" on page 84), carousel (see
"Carousels" on page 90), or Matrix (on page 93) content. If used from the Cameras pane, the feature
works with Smart Wall (on page 84) positions as well.
This method can also be used for dragging cameras onto Smart Wall positions, but only if used on the
Live tab.
1. Select the relevant position in the view.
2. In the Cameras pane, drag the relevant camera into the position in the view.
