Video Wall

v2.20.1

The Video Wall lets you save named multi-camera layouts - called walls - and instantly switch between them. Each wall has a fixed number of camera slots defined by its layout. One wall is active at a time; multiple walls can coexist.

Path: Video → Video Wall

Selecting a wall

The filter drawer contains a single-select wall picker. Your last-used wall is automatically restored when you return to this tab. Use the picker to switch between walls.

If no walls exist, the view shows an empty state with a prompt to create the first wall.

Wall layouts

Each wall is created with one of eight fixed layouts. The layout determines how many camera slots the grid contains:

LayoutSlots
11 (single full-size camera)
44 (2×2)
66
99 (3×3)
1010
1313
1616 (4×4)
2525 (5×5)

The layout cannot be changed after a wall is saved unless you edit the wall. Reducing the layout to fewer slots than the current camera count clears all cameras - you must re-add them.

Slot grid

The grid renders one slot per layout position. Each slot is either filled or empty:

Camera card: in-slot actions

Mouse over any filled camera slot to reveal its action menu. All actions from the Camera List are available (see Camera List - In-card actions), plus one additional action specific to the Video Wall:

ActionWhat it doesWhen available
Remove from wallRemoves this camera card from the slot, leaving it emptyOwner only. Blocked if this is the last remaining card in the wall
Last card protection: Removing the last camera card from a wall is blocked with a warning. A wall must always have at least one camera card. To remove all cameras, delete the wall instead.

Drag-and-drop reordering

Drag any filled camera card and drop it onto another slot. The dragged card and the target slot’s card swap positions. The reorder is saved immediately - no confirmation dialog is shown.

Toolbar

The toolbar also includes an Add (+) button that opens the Create Video Wall dialog.

Ownership and sharing

Each wall has an owner (the user who created it). Walls can be shared with other users:

RoleCan do
OwnerView, edit, delete, reorder cards, add/remove cameras, share the wall
Shared recipientView only - Edit and Delete toolbar buttons are disabled; empty-slot ”+” buttons are hidden

A shared wall is identified by Private = false and the current user appearing in the SharedWith list. Shared walls appear in the wall picker alongside the owner’s walls.

For step-by-step procedures - creating, editing, sharing, and deleting walls - see Managing Video Walls.
