The controls in Eocortex Web Client are similar to the controls in the Eocortex Client application. Clicking by the left border of the window opens the control panel.

At the bottom of the control panel is a short view panel that displays the five user views that are the first in the general list of views. If the total number of views is less than five, then the remaining spaces in the short panel are filled with the New view buttons.
A short list of views can be expanded to fill the entire sidebar. In this case, the search field for a view by its name will become available.

To call the context menu of the channel, right-click in the cell of that channel, or click to the icon in the active cell.
Note
The contents of the context menu items and the active cell buttons depend on the camera and application settings.

The following is a description of items in the context menu and control buttons:
Select camera: allows selecting the camera which will be displayed in the cell.
Hide camera: allows hiding the camera (clears the cell).
Unselect: removes the selection from the cell (makes the cell inactive).
Full screen mode: expands the cell to the entire browser window.
Note
The change between the grid mode and full-screen mode can also be performed by double-clicking in the grid cell.
Eocortex Archive : opens archive of the selected camera recorded on the server.
Save frame: saves the current frame to disk. When this menu item is selected (or after clicking on the icon), the window for the selection of the location and name of the file to be saved will open.
Enlarge image: displays the enlarged area of the frame. To enlarge the frame area, select this item in the context menu or click the corresponding button and draw the frame over the area to be enlarged. Enlarging mode can be disabled by clicking the middle mouse button.
/
Show sound level: opens the sound volume control in the cells.
If the Play sound only on active camera option is enabled, only the sound from the active (currently selected) camera will be played in the on-screen grid; if the option is disabled, the sound will be played from all cameras displayed on the screen.

PTZ: displays PTZ control elements.
Stream selection: Allows to choose the stream to display in the camera cell.
The following streams are available:
Main
Additional 1
Additional 2
Additional 3
Auxiliary

Note
Both main and additional streams are available for selection only in case if they are encoded to H.264 video codec in the source and the browser are capable to decode and display it.
Configuration of video streams should be performed by the surveillance system administrator.
Additional stream will always be available for selection. The server generates this stream in MJPEG from the original stream regardless of what video codec this original stream was encoded.
When assigning a camera to the cell for the first time, the additional stream will be displayed by default.
Stream selection settings will be saved for each camera in the cell.
Warning
When viewing many cameras in H.264 video codec simultaneously, problems with the playback may occur. In such cases it is recommended to decrease the load to the browser by activating the Switch to MJPEG in case of video playback issues option in the Settings window.

Full-screen live viewing๐

Warning
The full-screen mode may significantly increase the load to the device where the browser with Eocortex Web Client is running. In addition, it may increase consumption of network channel with the surveillance server.
The following is a description of context menu items and buttons specific to full-screen viewing:
Stream selection: Allows to choose the stream to display in the camera cell.
Exit full screen mode: allows returning to the on-screen grid of channels.

Camera tree allows to:
Choose the cameras in the list.
Find the cameras and folders by name.
Filter the camera tree by cameras' name.
Note
When the window is opened, the tree scrolls to the camera displayed in the active cell.
If the cell for which camera selection is performed is inactive (not selected in the grid), positioning in the tree to the selected camera may fail.
