What is Media Matrix?

If the window is closed you can re-open it by hitting CTRL+M while on the Alarm Handling screen

Depending on their status, cameras will have a different color border surrounding each cell: 

• Blue - The camera is streaming Live Video
• Red - The camera is showing an Email Alarm Clip

Any cameras that are already being shown in the Media Matrix will be highlighted in Blue. If the camera isn't highlighted that means it isn't being displayed right now.
