  2. Go to the Video page.
  3. Access the settings by clicking the gear icon.
  4. Click on "New Camera Group."
  5. Select one or more cameras to include in the group.

Note: There is no limit to the number of cameras that can be added to a group.


6. To arrange the cameras in the group, select the desired order.

7. Provide a name for the group in the "Group Name" field.

8. Confirm the changes by clicking "Save Group."
