What is meant by a "logical camera" in Milestone XProtect?

A logical camera in Milestone XProtect refers to a virtual camera that combines feeds from multiple physical cameras. This concept allows users to create a single logical viewpoint that can display various video sources seamlessly, enabling more efficient monitoring and management of surveillance systems. By integrating multiple camera streams into one logical camera, operators can simplify the interface and control while still accessing comprehensive visual data from different locations or angles.

This approach is particularly useful in scenarios where overlapping coverage is needed or when there is a requirement to monitor several areas through one interface. It enhances operational flexibility and can make the management of large-scale surveillance systems more intuitive. Overall, the logical camera concept is essential for optimizing video surveillance systems, providing a unified visual representation of complex environments.
