Sending Video to Matrix Recipients
Matrix is a feature in selected Milestone surveillance systems only (see Surveillance System
Differences on page 100 for more information). It allows distributed viewing of video from any
surveillance system camera to any monitor (known as a Matrix recipient) on a network.
With a typical Matrix configuration, video is automatically presented on the required Matrix
recipient when defined events occur—for example when motion is detected—but you can also
manually send video to a Matrix recipient.
The ability to manually send video to a Matrix recipient is only available for single-camera
positions; not for hotspots or carousels. Also, it is only available if Matrix has been configured on
your surveillance system, and you have the required user rights.
To send video to a Matrix recipient, do the following:
1. Select the required view.
2. Right-click inside the required camera position; you now get access to a shortcut menu.
3. In the menu, select Matrix, then the required Matrix recipient.
Example: Sending a camera's images to a
Matrix recipient through the shortcut menu
Copying Single Images
You are able to copy single still images from selected cameras. Copied images can then be pasted
(as bitmap images) into other applications, such as word processors, e-mail clients, etc.
You can only copy a single image from a single camera at a time.
To copy, do the following:
1. Select the required view.
2. Right-click inside the required camera position; you now get access to a shortcut menu.
3. In the menu, select Copy.
You can now paste the image into the required application.
