Camera cycling, also known as round-robin viewing, is a feature in the intelligent vision system that allows a set of video panes to automatically rotate through different camera feeds at a specified interval. This is a common practice in security monitoring rooms to allow a limited number of monitors to cover a much larger number of cameras.

According to the system logic for the iClient and IVS platform, the cycling function is designed to refresh the content of the active panes. If the number of cameras selected is equal to or less than the number of available video panes, the display remains static because every camera can be shown simultaneously without the need for rotation. To trigger the "cycling" mechanism, the number of cameras in the resource group must exceed the number of panes currently displayed on the screen. Therefore, if you have configured six video panes for camera cycling, you need to select at least 7 cameras so that the system has a "surplus" camera to rotate into one of the panes when the interval timer expires. This ensures that the surveillance personnel see every camera in the group over a period of time, fulfilling the purpose of the round-robin service.
