Defining Soft Buttons

 

On the left side of the user level pages (Live, Player and Multi View), you can find several soft buttons some of which have been pre-defined in the factory.

You can customize these button in order to facilitate certain work processes or to simplify the access to certain actions or dialogs. For example, you can define a soft button for calling the URL of an external alarm plan in an emergency or for sending IP Notify messages to other computers or cameras. Also, you can use these buttons to control the features of the pan/tilt head via the serial interface.
