Synchronizing video in tiles

You can force the live or playback video that is displayed in all the tiles to become synchronized in time.

What you should know

You cannot synchronize the video of entities that are displayed in a tile as part of an event or alarm. The video associated to the event or alarm is meant to show what occurred during that time period.

To synchronize video displayed in tiles:

  1. Select a tile.
  2. At the bottom of the canvas, click Synchronize video ().
    All the tiles are forced to display live or recorded video. The reference point is the currently selected tile. One of the following happens:
    • If selected tile is displaying recorded video, synchronization forces all tiles to display playback video. All the playback videos display the same recording date and time, synchronized to the millisecond.
    • If the selected tile is displaying live video, synchronization forces all tiles to display live video. This is useful if you have multiple cameras with overlapping coverage. Forcing playback synchronization produces different perspectives of the same recorded event
  3. To turn synchronization off, click Stop synchronizing video () at the bottom of the canvas.
