Follow Me – Sandbox_2025

Follow Me

Follow Me is a function that allows a user (or multiple users) to see what another controlling user is viewing at the same time on a different monitor. Whatever camera switches the controlling user makes or video control commands that the controlling user issues are replicated on monitors set up as Follow Me monitors. It allows one user to make others immediately aware of a problem, or potential problem, as events occur. The Follow Me function supports live video, playback of recorded footage and incidents through either a Synergy client or display wall or monitor.

Setup: Follow Me monitors are set up via Setup->System Setup->Press for Advanced Configuration->System Properties->Setup System Properties.

You must separate each monitor in the list with a comma. Once you have saved the configuration, log out and then back in to Synergy for the changes to take effect.

To see the available Follow Me monitors on your system, click the Follow Me button in the Incidents group on the Video tab.

Note: Permissions can be used to restrict which monitors are available. To configure these permissions, go to the advanced configuration menu and call up Users -> Setup User Group Permissions -> select Add or Change User Group -> Device Permissions -> Monitors. Here you can select which monitors should be available for a specific user.

To activate a monitor for Follow Me, click its button. A message appears in the Events tab to acknowledge that the selected monitor is active.

When Follow Me is active, all camera switches and actions that you perform are replicated on the selected Follow Me monitor(s).

To deactivate a Follow Me monitor, click the Follow Me button in the Video menu again. When a monitor is activated, its monitor button displays the monitor name and number in red. Click this button. The message in the Events tab closes and the monitor returns to its normal state.

Once Follow Me has stopped, you can configure a default camera to be shown. See your system administrator for details.
