Use the Select all option to select or clear the selection of all the items at the same time. The dynamic filter above the unit list works by name, device type, or creator. The search criterion is selected to the right of the filter.

After adding a unit to the list, a traffic package (1024 MB) is purchased for it automatically. The video of this unit becomes available for watching on the Video tab of the monitoring system.
