When you select the Camera Selection option, the system will display the camera and View selection toolbar, as shown above.
The toolbar has similar controls to the views and layouts controls for live cameras:
1.Layout type selection control.
2.Button to reload the cameras on screen (Only available when a view is selected).
3.Button for adding local recordings. For more information on playing back local recordings, see the topic on Local Video Playback.
4.Camera and View selection control.
5.Button to add the selected camera (in the camera and view selection control) to the screen. This button will only work for cameras, and will not be available when a view is selected.
6.Button to remove all cameras from the screen
First select the desired screen layout via the layout selection control, according to the number of cameras you want to play back. If you want to play back cameras from an already existing view, you can skip this step.
Once you have selected the layout, you will need to add the cameras to the screen. In order to provide greater flexibility and speed in the operation of the system, there are several ways to add cameras to the screen in the video player. See the supported methods in the following sub-topics.
When all the desired cameras are on screen, click the Play button to start Media Playback:
