Video Preview (PIP)
The Site Map supports a picture-in-picture (PIP) video window that floats in a corner of the map, showing a live camera feed alongside your spatial layout.
PIP Modes
Configure the PIP window in Settings > Site Map > Video Preview:
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Always On | PIP stays visible at all times, showing the pinned camera's live feed. |
| Alert Triggered | PIP appears automatically when an event is detected, showing the triggering camera's feed. Hides when the event clears. |
| Hidden | PIP is disabled. |
Configuration Options
- Camera — Choose which camera's feed appears in the PIP window. In Alert Triggered mode, this defaults to whichever camera triggered the event.
- Position — Select which corner of the screen the PIP window occupies.
- Size — Adjust the PIP window size.
Use Case
PIP is especially useful when you're monitoring the Site Map and want to keep a live video feed visible without switching tabs. In Alert Triggered mode, it gives you instant visual confirmation of events right on the map — you see both where something happened (the pulsing pin) and what happened (the PIP video) simultaneously.
