Camera View layout allows you to view multiple camera views at the same time. You can configure Symphony to display 1 to 25 cameras at once. You can have more than one multi view dialog box open.
Since Camera View layout is made up of individual Video Panels, it is possible to configure them individually for appearance, the activities to perform upon alarm events, whether or not to have Timelines, Navigation Bars, etc. The behavior of each video panel can be customized (Customizing Video Panel Properties).
In Symphony version 6.9 and prior, Camera View layout is referred to as Multi View.
Depending on the default setting in your Client Settings, a camera view can open as a floating view or a docked view. For default settings, see Client Settings, specifically the tab with Camera View.
