    Note: The Video desktop is empty the first time you open it and the message No video view selected displays.
  2. In the Video View window, select Video view from the list. You can edit the view (Video view > select a specific View > Modify Video view components button).
  3. Perform various tasks using the icons in the lower part of the window. The following table describes the icons.
    Table 1. Video view icons
    Icons Description
    "viewsize.png"
    		Use these icons to select a size for the displayed video. Note: A bigger image requires more process power. Therefore, selecting a bigger image may result in lower process power.
    "custom_button.png"
    		These icons are configured in the Operator security level. They enable operators to perform pre programmed tasks such as viewing video playback with a fixed or variable delay, generating video events with fixed or custom parame­ters. To program these icons, see Security Level Definition.
    "New_and_Edit_Video_View.png"
    		Use these icons to Create and Edit video views.
    "showcontrolpanel.png"
    		Use this Show view selector icon to display a mosaic view of all the cameras, or one of the cameras defined in the system.
    "Properties_help_and_close.png"
    		Help and Close icons. These are EntraPass standard icons.
  4. Click the Show view selector icon to display the View selector window. This small window allows you to so select a specific view or to monitor a specific camera pattern. For instance, if you select a cell in the View selector, the sequence is interrupted to display the selected cell.
    Note: When you open the Video view selector while a camera is recording, the camera icon blinks until the end of the recording.
  5. From the displayed view, you can click a dome camera icon to display control icons for this camera (movement, zoom, focus). Available options depend on the Digital Video Management system connected to your system. For more information, refer to your DVMS documentation.
    Note: If your dome camera is set with pre programmed movement patterns, you can define a view displaying a pattern composed of one or many of these patterns. For more information, see Video Views Definition.
