Customize Views
After all NVRs and devices are added, you may start customizing the views for different users
and purposes. This chapter will teach you how to add video source, arrange the channels and
manage live view layouts.
In CMS system, a View refers to the layout where the live images of Cameras or Maps are
placed in proper positions to suit the monitoring purpose. This is very similar to a camera group,
which often consists of cameras in the same physical location. For example, a View named
11F Emap & Camera may contain the 11F floor plan and the cameras actually placed on 11F.
On CMS Live View, a saved View not only remembers (1) layout style, (2) which channel to
display which camera, (3) but the fisheye view mode (for fisheye cameras only.
