Use this tab to configure keyboard shortcuts for various actions in the Eocortex Client application.

Users can assign keyboard shortcuts only for the actions they have permission to perform and only for the objects they have access. The same restrictions apply to performing actions using already assigned keyboard shortcuts.

For convenience, actions are distributed across the following tabs:

  • Basic commands

  • User tasks

  • Views and Automatic view switches

  • PTZ control

Basic commands

The Basic commands in turn contain three sections: General, Cameras and Cell.

In the General section, keyboard shortcuts are assigned to perform actions related to the whole application.

Note

Only those cameras on which user tasks are configured are displayed in the list.

Note

When a user task that requires confirmation is using the keyboard shortcuts, a dialog box opens where it is necessary to confirm the start of the task.
