A cameo refers to a specific display window or tile used to show live or recorded video from a surveillance camera. In video management systems (VMS), each camera feed appears in its own cameo for easier monitoring and control.
For example, security operators can drag and drop different camera feeds into cameos on a single screen. This setup allows quick switching between views and helps maintain full situational awareness.
While basic systems show fixed views, advanced VMS platforms let users customize cameo layouts, zoom in, or replay footage instantly. As a result, operators can manage surveillance more efficiently.
By using cameos, surveillance teams gain flexible viewing and faster response times.
