Open the Matrix Monitor window
Depending on configuration (on page 9), the Matrix Monitor window may appear on your screen automatically.
If the Matrix Monitor application is not running, you can start it by double-clicking the Matrix Monitor shortcut on
your desktop:
Alternatively, use Windows’ Start menu, selecting All Programs > Milestone XProtect Matrix Monitor
> Milestone Matrix Monitor.


With 1×1, the Matrix Monitor window is capable of displaying image feeds from a single camera at a
time.

With 2×2, the Matrix Monitor window is capable of showing image feeds from up to four cameras at a
time.
If using 2×2, the image feeds will be inserted in top-left-to-bottom-right
order, according to a first-in-first-out principle: Image feeds will remain in
the position in which they were loaded; when all four positions are used,
any new image feeds will replace the oldest image feeds.
If you select Insert Camera On Top, new image feeds will be displayed in the top left position while any
previously received image feeds will be shifted one position forward and eventually be "pushed out:"
