Tile menu commands

You can control your tiles and the entities displayed in tiles using commands in the tile menu.

Some commands always appear, and other contextual commands change depending on the entity type displayed in the tile. The following table lists the commands available from the tile menu:

Camera Commands related to video surveillance. The other camera commands are listed in the camera widget.
  Auxiliary recording If the camera is controlled by an Auxiliary Archiver, manually start recording on the Auxiliary Archiver by clicking the record button () next to the Auxiliary Archiver role name.
