Map Cameras

Freely associate devices in primary recorders with secondary recorders in any user defined manner

Introduction

This block appears when Mode Selection (Mode Selection) is set to Manual (Map Cameras) and allows you to decide, one device at a time, where each camera stream will be protected. Instead of pairing whole recorders, you drag and drop (or multi-select) cameras from the Primary Cameras list into one or more Secondary Recorders.

Prerequisite

Complete Mode Selection- selected to the Manual mode.
