Last modified: Friday March 13, 2026.

You can observe multiple camera feeds by creating views.

• You can use a combination of cameras and other devices, such as access control points, sensors, point-of-sale (POS), and speakers.
• You can save your views and share them with other users.

Create a view

1. Open Tools > Video view.
2. If required, click to open the sidebar.
3. Choose the layout:
   1. Video view defaults to four panes in a 2 x 2 layout.
   2. To change the number of available panes, expand Layouts and select a different layout.
   3. For larger layouts, timelines might be hidden until you select a pane, and the number of panes simultaneously playing back video might be limited.
   4. To create a custom layout, see Create layouts.
4. Expand the Cameras list and assign cameras to the panes:
   • Drag a single camera to a pane.
   • Drag a site or device group to a pane. Camera feeds from the site or group show in rotation.
   • Drag a site or device group to the center of the panes. Camera feeds from the site or group fill the available panes or show in rotation. Feeds are prioritized based on alarms and video analytics identifying anomalies and interesting activity.
   • Click to filter cameras by site name and device name, or click to filter by label.
   • To configure feed rotation settings, see Camera feed rotation.
5. To remove cameras, right click in a pane and select Clear pane > This pane or Clear pane > All panes as required.
6. If required, click Save video view. For more information, see Save and share views.
