Viewing captured video on the web
I've updated to version 6 and generally like everything. However, a big fail for me is the web viewing of captured videos. I've got 8 cameras and when trying to view these videos I first need to select the camera and then in a remaining small section of the sidebar scroll through videos. I can typically see only 3-4 thumbnails in that section. I much prefer the way I could see the in version 5. Is there a setting I'm overlooking?

Hi Jeff, there is no setting that you are overlooking, however normally you would be able to see many more thumbnails than this. This section with the thumbnails expands as the window is enlarged. Can you make the window taller? This will show more thumbnails. Or, are you using quite a low screen resolution that doesn't allow this?

I know what @JeffAlves means, the old GUI had a Gridview option that displayed a list of thumbnails four wide. Whilst I can increase the height of the window (which is limited if on a small laptop screen), could a future version have the ability to drag the sidebar to the right so that as it expands, more thumbnails appear side-by-side, with the main video window shrinking?

That's true - I know the grid view was liked by some users. Unfortunately, it didn't fit with the new layout. We'll see how we can add to the layout to allow more thumbnails - either in the sidebar, or perhaps some kind of grid view in the content area on the right.

Yes, very much please. A new grid with today & into past (or at least date range)
The single column, single date limitation is like looking through a mugshot book, but only being allowed to see one column at a time and needing to manually set the desired page number.

Ben, I'm curious if you foresee web viewing becoming the preferred method for remote live and captured viewing, as opposed to your iOS apps. I vote for continued development of the apps :-).
