Grids allow you to monitor multiple camera feeds in real-time. You can add up to 12 camera feeds per page for live video monitoring. Grids are created per user and can be shared with other members of your organization as a public grid.

We recommend creating custom grids because the default All Cameras Grid cannot be modified.

Grids are organized based on ownership. From the grids dropdown, the grids you created and can manage will be under My Grids. Grids shared with you that were created by others will be under Created by Others.
