Saved Views

NOTE: Standard and Enterprise Edition only.

After you add videos to a View, adjust the layout to fit your preferences and zoom-in each video to the area of interest, you can save the View to share with other users in the site. A saved View remembers the current View layout, the cameras displayed in each image panel, and the image panel display settings.
