Callup Video to Monitor

Workflows can be used to call up camera feeds to a monitor. This can be triggered by an event such as an alarm or the selection of an asset.

To create a camera callup to a monitor:

  1. In Project Explorer, right-click Interactive or Background Workflows and click Add.
  2. Double-click the start block to set the trigger for this callup.
  3. Add an Action block to the Workflow. Double-click the block to configure the callup command.

    Some camera systems have their own system commands for camera callups. Refer to that systems plug-in page for how to use the command. If your camera system is compatible with VideoFusion, you can also use the Camera Callup available in VideoFusion with the below parameters.

    Table 1. Parameters
    VideoFusion Asset ID The ID of the VideoFusion asset to display the camera callup on.
    Camera Asset ID The ID of the camera asset to retrieve the video stream from.
    Monitor The ID of the configured monitor to call up the video feed on.
    Tile The number corresponding to the tile on the monitor to bring up feed on.
  4. Continue adding and configuring Action blocks for each callup you want to occur. Ensure the last one is connected to the Stop block.

When this Workflow is triggered, your camera callups will appear in your video monitor.
