Shortcuts

If you click on Network Cameras in the left hand window of Explorer you will then see all the installed cameras and Albums on the right hand side. Right-click and drag any item onto your desktop and create a shortcut to it.

Right-click Menu

Right clicking on a Camera, Album or Live Video Site in Explorer will display a menu containing the following items:

•Explore – opens a new Explorer window showing the Camera, Album or Live Video Site

•Open – opens a viewer window for the Camera, Album or Live Video Site

•Properties – shows the Camera, Album or Live Video Site’s current settings.

Right-clicking on a Camera will also show the link Open Home Page. This link will start your Web browser and take you to the camera’s home page

Full Screen

When the image from a Camera or a Live Video Site is displayed in the right hand window in Windows Explorer, pressing F11 on your keyboard will open the image in full-screen mode. Pressing F11 again or clicking anywhere in the image will return the image to its previous display in Explorer.

Online Help

When any of the items contained in Network Cameras is selected, pressing F1 will open a browser window containing this document. Alternatively, click Help on the Explorer title bar.

Size to fit

By right-clicking on the image in Explorer it is possible to enable or disable the setting Retain Image Size. Enabling this function (a check mark will be visible) prevents the image from increasing or decreasing in size when the window is resized. The size controlled is based on the currently selected image resolution.

Disabling Retain Image Size also means that you can select Size To Fit. This function will resize the image so that it fills the entire window, no matter how the window is changed.
