The Feed window

A feed window displays the image from a particular camera. Double clicking on the image will remove the buttons and border from the window, leaving just the image. This window can be moved by holding the left mouse button down over the image and moving the mouse.

Along the top of the window is an Options panel, allowing you to control the operation of the feed window.

The indicator LED shows the state of the feed. Grey is stopped, Green is running and Red shows that motion has been detected.

The next button, the tools, allows you to configure the feed settings.

The alarm bell button allow you to configure the alerting

The next button allows you to configure the masks for the feed.

The three magnifying glass buttons allow you to decrease, return to default, or increase the window size respectively.

The next button sets this feed to operate in full screen mode. Double-clicking on the image will return to normal.

The camera button will take a snapshot of the current image. This will be saved along with the rest of the recorded images.

If the feed supports audio and it's available, there will be a speaker button allowing you to turn live audio on and off.

Some feeds that use multiple streams will have an eye button that allows you to switch between the different streams for viewing.
Example streams include an H.264 live stream, and analytic video streams.

The four arrow button will open the PTZ control window, allowing you to move and zoom the camera.

The Playback button will take you to the Playback screen, which allows you to review all the recorded footage for this feed

On multiple stream feeds, iCatcher can automatically switch between different streams when the window is resized. This can be configured in the Look & Feel settings.
