Montage

The Montage view shows multiple camera feeds at once in a drag-and-drop grid.

Edit Mode

Tap Edit Layout to rearrange the grid:

Drag a feed cell to move it
Resize a cell by dragging its corner handles
Fill Width: stretch all cells to use the full grid width
Pin: pin a cell to prevent it from being moved accidentally
Save Layout: save the current arrangement under a name so you can reload it later

Tap Done to leave edit mode.

Fullscreen Mode

Tap Fullscreen to expand the grid to fill the screen. In fullscreen mode:

A thin translucent toolbar sits at the top with controls for refresh, monitor labels, kiosk lock, and exit
Monitor name labels can be toggled on or off
The exit button (red) returns to normal view

See Kiosk Mode to use the lock button in the fullscreen toolbar.

Pinch to Zoom

On touch devices, pinch to zoom in or out on the grid. Zoom is disabled in fullscreen mode to avoid gesture conflicts.

Streaming

Each tile honors the same streaming rules as elsewhere in the app:

Monitors with Go2RTC enabled stream live video (WebRTC, MSE, or HLS).
Monitors on MJPEG follow the global Streaming Mode setting, Streaming shows continuous MJPEG, Snapshot shows a periodic JPEG that refreshes on the configured interval.

Go2RTC streams in the montage are muted by default. The protocol label (MJPEG/MSE/WebRTC) visibility is controlled by the toolbar eye toggle. Monitors that cannot be reached display a VideoOff placeholder instead of a broken feed.

Performance

On phones, tablets, and the web app, the webview holds only about 6 live connections open to one server, so a grid full of Streaming tiles stalls after the first few. Switch Streaming Mode to Snapshot in Settings so each tile refreshes on an interval rather than holding an open stream. This trades motion smoothness for lower bandwidth and CPU. The desktop app reads each feed natively and is not subject to that limit, so it streams many cameras at once and defaults to Streaming. Go2RTC tiles continue to stream regardless and are unaffected by the setting.

For a per-platform breakdown of where the ~6-stream limit applies, see Connection limits by platform. On iOS, Android, or the web, to keep more than about 6 live tiles streaming at once, enable multi-port streaming on the ZoneMinder server by setting ZM_MIN_STREAMING_PORT.

Tip

If you have many cameras, use Low bandwidth mode in Settings to reduce data usage. You can also filter to show only the cameras you need, or use saved layouts to switch between different subsets.

Screen Size Warning

On very small screens, the montage view may show a warning if the screen is too narrow to display cameras usefully. Rotate to landscape, or use a larger device.
