Under the Cameras menu there are links to see all cameras from all sites or all cameras of a given type (e.g., All Mobotix color, All Mobotix monochrome, All PTZ). These pages list sites alphabetically and list all cameras (of the given type) from each site. Clicking on the name of the site will open a custom view where all cameras from the given site are displayed. The custom view has three tabs: Real-Time, Images (to get the archive images), Videos (to get the archive videos) explained further below.
You can also create your own Custom View by selecting only the cameras you want to monitor. There are drop down lists to select the site, then select the camera. You can use + to add the new camera to the list of Selected Cameras and repeat the process of adding more cameras. When you click Show Selected Cameras, the Real Time view will display the current images from these cameras and will continue to refresh every minute. There is a – button in front of each camera from the list of Selected Cameras; clicking on – removes that camera from the list. Clicking on X clears the entire list.
In the Images tab, you can select the date, hour, and minute to see the images retrospectively. There are arrows <- and -> next to the date selector to easily navigate a day before/after from the displayed date (going in the future will be displayed as an error). There is a Now button to quickly reset to today and current time. HPWREN cameras are in Pacific timezone. Clicking on an image opens it at full resolution with a slider at the bottom to use what we call the Interactive Image Flow Interface (IIFI): moving the slider allows to quickly go back and forth to see changes in the images. IIFI preloads some images before/after your current time selection but not all images in the 3 hour window are loaded at the beginning; moving at different points in the timeline requires loading a new set of images, so you may see the image canvas "blink" while reloading. A similar "IIFI" is integrated in the Images page where multiple cameras are displayed. Moving the minute slider will automatically refresh the selected images, but the caching here is up to the browser so the images may "blink" at each slider drag.
In the Videos tab, you can select the 3h interval to see the archived videos. Currently the image and video archive is available for the last 30 days, but we are working on making it accessible for a longer time.
Note: Switching in the Camera menu between the Custom View and various All cameras views will clear the Custom View selection and start fresh. You can use the back button in the browser to go back to your previous view. If you want to keep your custom view, we recommend opening it in a new tab. You can create several custom views in different tabs and the system will remember your selection.
