Sites organizes cameras into a tree of groups and locations. A group holds other sites. A location has an address and can hold cameras.
A group can contain either child groups or locations. It cannot contain both. You can add up to three layers of groups. Locations can sit under any group that does not already contain child groups.
Example:
-
Canada (group)
-
Ontario (group)
-
Toronto (group)
-
Store 734 (location)
-
Store 654 (location)

The left panel lists the tree. No Site collects cameras that are not assigned to a location. On a narrower window, select Open sites list to open the panel.
If no sites exist, the panel shows You haven't added any sites yet.
