Saddest User Interface Change
Long term feedback after the keyboard command change to require use of shift key to move PTZ cameras....
BAR NONE! This is by far the worst change that has been implemented in Security Spy in all the years we have used it. This has made it far more difficult to instantly maneuver PTZ cameras in our system when we see activity happening live on screen.
Making this change to be consistent with other aspects of SS usage, massively ruined usability in time critical situations where fumbling to press and hold a modifier key slows response. At best it annoys, at worst it makes rapid response fail or renders the keyboard control so clumsy that my wife simply fails and has given up on real time control via keyboard.
Without a doubt, this is the single worst user interface achievement -- and this is after allowing months to get used to this clumsy arrangement.
It achieves the exact equivalent to changing steering wheels to requiring one to continually hold down a button on the dashboard effect any steering.

I hate it as well. Haven't even completely gotten used to it after all this time (usually have to do it twice- nothing happens the first time.)
I have also been wondering why I have to reload to view cameras after logging in to web interface on some machines but not others. They come up blank initially until reload.
