Add a hotspot to a view

A hotspot view item displays video feeds in a higher resolution enabling users to see details more clearly while also saving bandwidth on your remote connections.

There are two types of hotspots:

  • Global hotspots: Displays the selected camera regardless of which view the camera is in.

  • Local hotspots: Displays only the selected camera if the camera is within the same view.

It’s recommended to add a hotspot to the largest view item, such as the large view item in a 1+7 view.

  1. Select the view.

  2. On the workspace toolbar, select Setup.

  3. On the System overview pane, drag the Hotspot item to the relevant view item.

  4. (optional) On the Properties pane, modify the properties for the hotspot.

  5. Select Setup again to exit setup mode and save your changes.
