Use the Device Tree to navigate between cameras. Like tree or folder organization of files in common Windows applications, all cameras are listed in a predefined order. In Symphony Client, the cameras are listed in order of camera ID. Each camera has a unique ID and is set automatically by the system as cameras are added.
Click the Settings icon and select Device Tree. The Device Tree can be docked to the main console, or undocked and dragged to any monitor.
