1. A computer implemented method for providing access to live video data from a plurality of cameras in a DVM system, the method including:
- maintaining data indicative of cameras in a hierarchical structure;
receiving, from a user of a client terminal, a command indicative of;
an instruction to generate a multi-camera view; and
a defined selection of cameras defined by reference to the hierarchical structure;
in response to the command, defining a camera workspace view for rendering at the client terminal, wherein the camera workspace view is configured to provide a plurality of video display objects that are respectively configured to display live video data from the defined selection of cameras.

Abstract
An approach for providing access to live video data from a plurality of cameras in a DVM system. The approach may incorporate maintaining, for each camera, data indicative of relatedness scores for one or more other cameras in the DVM system. The approach may also incorporate providing functionality via the user interface thus enabling convenient access to one or more cameras with highest relatedness scores for a camera that is currently being viewed by a user.
