We recently implemented a Milestone deployment in our environment, and anytime we receive an alarm for a recording or communication failure, we have to log into the XProtect Management Client, go to the cameras section, expand the drop down and find the camera in the list there. This is not efficient as this is a deployment with numerous cameras. Is there a better method available to checking camera status? Ideally this would be something that has has a search function, so we can check the name of the camera easily, but anything is better at this point. Whenever there are multiple failures reported, we have to find each one manually, which eats up too much time.

This is the recommended way to check camera status.
