In the video navigation window, there is a camera/video line for each camera. The left section of the video navigation window lists all of the cameras on the network.

By default, all cameras are “Active” and you can view the video recordings for all cameras. However, you can inactivate as many cameras you want so you are seeing and hearing only the video and audio for a specific camera.
The eye icon 
at the right of the camera’s name means the camera is “active” and its recorded video events will play in the Playback video windows
To “deactivate” a camera and hide all of the video recordings from displaying in the video navigation section, click on the eye icon. The eye icon is grayed out 
. And the video segments for that camera will disappear from the video navigation window.
Video recordings display as teal and gray colored segments. The teal bars represent video recordings that are currently stored on the PC. Gray colored bars are video recordings that are recognized by the Commander software but they have not been uploaded from the camera yet.

To turn the video for a camera on or off, click the eye icon next to the camera name.
When you click on the camera’s eye icon to disable a camera, the teal and gray (and protected) video segments for that camera are hidden.
Note: If Commander cannot find a video location, it will display a warning message in the timeline and an error icon over the Settings button and in the Settings dialog window.
