Blank screen monitoring (explained)

Blank screen monitoring is an operation mode where operators only see video when a situation requires their attention. The video wall does not display any cameras during normal operation. Only when an event occurs does the video wall display video from the related cameras. When the incident has been resolved, the monitors showing the video are cleared.

To enable blank screen monitoring, you must create and apply a preset A predefined layout for one or more Smart Wall monitors in XProtect Smart Client. Presets determine which cameras are displayed, and how content is structured on each monitor on the video wall. that only has a view layout, but no cameras. Use rules to display the cameras associated with certain events on your video wall, then clear the monitors again. See also Create rules with Smart Wall presets.
