You can open a layout with the specified camera.

The View camera macro uses the following algorithm:

  1. Searches for the layouts available to the current user that contain the selected camera.
  2. Selects the layout with the minimum number of cells to display the selected camera.
  3. If the required layout does not exist, creates a new layout with the selected camera.
  4. Switches to the selected layout, or the created layout.
  5. Performs the specified action.

To configure the View camera macro, do the following:

  1. Configure the conditions to start a macro (see Configuring start conditions).

  2. Select the camera to be displayed (1) or Camera that initiated command execution (see Configuring start conditions). You can select a group of cameras for the Switch to archive mode (see step 2).

    If the macro was triggered by an event from an input or output (see Configuring start conditions) that is not associated with the camera, the action doesn't start. 

  3. Select the display mode (2).
