I disabled a couple of cameras and now can't for the life of me find out how to show hidden or disabled cameras? I've done it before a long time ago and according to the help file it should be right click on the main UI to show the option in the menu, but I don't have that option.

This is all I see when I right click in the main UI area, I'm sure I'm doing something stupid but please put me out of my misery!

Thank You!!

Has that changed recently (in the past year or so) as I'm pretty sure I didn't have to go through all that process before?
 
It changed with version 5.5.x.x. in the middle of September You can go back to 5.4.x.x if it is really annoying LOL (a lot of people are holding at that version due to this change).

Now onto diagnosing the issue I was trying to resolve getting motion / Deepstack AI functional, but I'll start a new thread for that if I need it. Thanks

Haha, no I don't mind it now I know, I just hate it when manuals just say vague things like this which don't help (I'm guessing these words haven't been reviewed fully since the new release)

You may un-check the Enabled option to disable the camera. You will find an option in the
main window UI right-click menu to Hide disabled cameras.
You may mark a camera as Hidden, however it may still be visible in the main window UI
with a right-click menu option to Show hidden cameras.

How do you get it back to the way it used to be where it shows disabled cameras in the local UI but not in UI3? It looks like you will now have to create a group called "enabled Cameras" to replace "all cameras" and manually assign each enabled camera to that group then create a group called "Disabled Cameras" and manually reassign each disabled camera then manually move each camera between the groups each time you want to enable or disable it. Is that correct or is there an easier way?
 
Create a group called hidden cameras. Put all the hidden cameras in that group. The group can also be seen in UI3 but only if you click on that group. They can remain hidden and will not appear in the all cameras group.
