Video Tours
A "tour" is the automatic sequential switching of video from a list of cameras to a video output. The period of time the video from each camera is displayed is referred to as the dwell time.
A tour can be defined by selecting the desired cameras from the list on the video output properites window. Since video cannot be switched across servers, the cameras in the list belong to the same server as the video output. The order in which the cameras are selected from the list is the order in which they will switch in the tour. A tour can be enable and disabled by selecting the Tour checkbox on the video output properties window, or by selecting the "Enable Tour" option from the video output icon context menu. A tour can be paused by holding down the left mouse button on the associated video output icon.
