Enable cameras and add grids

This article explains how to enable cameras for monitoring and how to set or adjust detection grids for each camera.

After adding a device, you can enable its cameras and configure detection grids. Grids define where motion should be detected within a camera’s view.

1. From the Dashboard, go to the top-left menu and select Sites.

2. Search for the site you want to configure.

3. Open the site and go to the Devices tab.

1. Click on the device you want to configure.

2. This will take you to the Cameras and Hardware section, where all connected cameras are listed.

If cameras are currently disabled, you can:

• Click Enable All Cameras to activate monitoring for every camera.

If you want none of the cameras to be monitored:

• Click Disable All Cameras.

You can manage each camera separately:

• Toggle each camera on or off based on your monitoring needs.

You can also scroll through the list, load more items, or move between pages if the device contains many cameras.

If new cameras were added to the device after the initial setup:

1. Click Refresh Cameras on the right-hand side.

2. The new cameras will appear in the list.

3. Enable or disable them as needed.

1. Click the Edit button in the Actions column for the camera you want to configure.

2. You will see the live camera view with any existing grid highlighted.

1. Click on the camera image to place grid points.

2. Continue clicking to outline the area where motion should be detected.

3. Choose Grid 1, Grid 2, or additional grids depending on setup needs.

1. Click and drag the grid points to reshape the detection area.

2. Fine-tune the grid boundaries to match the camera’s view.

If you want to start again:

• Click Reset to remove the current grid completely.

Once all grids and camera settings are correct:

1. Click Save Changes at the top right of the page.

2. Your camera settings and grids will be updated.

Your cameras are now enabled, and detection grids are active for each selected camera. These settings help ensure accurate motion detection and monitoring for your site.
