Multi‑Cam Dashboard

Overview​

The Multi‑Cam Dashboard is a companion app for monitoring and controlling all your cameras. The dashboard has two main views:

  • Monitoring view: Shows a grid of all cameras with the most important parameters. You can customize which parameters are displayed.
  • Control panel view: Opens a detailed control panel for a single camera, with access to all available parameters. This view can also be customized.

First Time Setup​

Starting with release 26.2.1rc1, the Multi‑Cam Dashboard is disabled by default. To enable it, open the configuration GUI at http://[device-ip], go to Admin, and click Enable.

The status will change to Running.

The Multi‑Cam Dashboard will then be accessible from the navigation bar.

Embedded Web App (RCP) To access the web version, open http://[device-ip]:4000 in your browser, or click the Multi‑Cam Dashboard link in the navigation bar.
