Creating a Group

A group is just a tidy way to see the devices you want, all in one place. It's handy when your list looks cluttered — say you've got an 8-channel recorder but only four cameras plugged in. The empty channels show as offline devices you don't need to see. A group lets you hide those and arrange the rest exactly how you like, so the app looks clean.

1. 1

   Open the menu and choose Add to Group

   Tap the three dots in the top-right corner, then tap Add to Group.

   

2. 2

   Name your group

   Give the group a name (for example, Home CCTV), then tap Save.

   

3. 3

   Confirm

   You'll see the group has been created. Tap Confirm.

   

4. 4

   Your new tab appears

   At the top you'll now see a new tab next to Device — your group. Tap across to it any time to see just those devices.

   

5. 5

   Edit the group

   Open the group, tap its three dots, and choose Edit Group.

   

6. 6

   Change the name or the contents

   Here you can rename the group, or tap Edit on the group content to change which devices are in it.

   

7. 7

   Select the devices you don't want

   Tap any device you want to take out — usually the offline or empty channels. A tick appears in its corner. Select as many as you like.

   

8. 8

   Remove from group

   Tap Remove from Group, and those devices drop out of the group view.

   

9. 9

   Reorder, then finish

   Press and drag any device to move it, so they sit in the order you like. When you're happy, tap Finish in the top-right.

   

10. 10

    Done — a clean group

    You're left with a tidy group showing only the devices you want, in your order.
