Photo ID Viewer (surveillance) view

This view provides a pre-connfigured grid with various layout options for displaying all available video cameras and readers. The layout options display up to nine devices on a single view.

Cameras show video. If Photo ID badges are enabled, readers show the photo ID of the person who used the reader. Using video and reader views together an operator can verify that the person entering (as seen by the video camera) is the same person who scanned the Photo ID badge.
