Watch multiple cameras in a grid

Watch multiple cameras in a grid

Use the Live page to monitor several cameras at once in a configurable grid. The grid remembers your last layout and re-opens it the next time you log in.

Tip

Hold Shift and click a tile to expand it to fullscreen without leaving the grid. Press Escape to return.

Procedure

1. Click Live in the left nav.

2. Pick a grid from the grid selector dropdown in the toolbar.

3. Choose a layout (1x1 up to 3x4) from the layout selector.

4. Use the left and right arrows below the grid to move between pages.

5. To cycle pages automatically, click Auto-rotate and pick an interval (10 s to 5 min).

6. Click any tile to expand it. Playback controls and the connection-quality indicator appear.

Common variations

• Audio per tile: click the speaker icon on any tile to unmute that one camera. Audio stays muted on other tiles.
• Stream tier: the grid uses sub-stream by default to save bandwidth. Expanded tiles switch to main stream automatically.
• Mobile or tablet: the grid collapses to 1x1 on screens under 768 px and disables auto-rotate.

If this didn’t work

• Tile stays black or shows “Connecting” for more than 10 seconds — see Live view shows a black tile.
• Grid dropdown is empty — you have not saved a grid yet. See Save a reusable view.
