Make sure to finalize all HC-Camviewer configurations before integrating the Camviewer into the Navigation.
Later changes to the HC-Camviewer are possible by opening the Camviewer serperated from the Navigation.






Open HC-Navigation settings and press "+" in order to create a new
Button in the navigation bar.






Give the button a custom name ("Camviewer" in this example)

For linking the button to the HC-Camviewer, press the
orange higlighted gearwheel in the "App" section.







Now choose "Auto Setting" as highlighted in orange.
Aftwarwards you just need to start the desired application for
integrating it into the navigation bar.







Start the Camviewer when the dialog requests you to.







As soon as the camviewer is started, click the green checkmark
to confirm the data displayed in the popup.





After the application is automatically restarted, the next popup
asks if the application is started correctly.
In this case, there is a small portion of the settings button visible
in the bottom right corner. This is why we pressed the red X
in order to manually adjust the postition of the camviewer.





In the manual configuration menu, open the dropdown
menu of the "more" arrow and type "-noborder" in the
"Argument" text input. This will make sure the camviewer
is started without its' menu button in the bottom right corner.

The additional argument statement "-embedded" enables
the camviewer's UDP functionality.

Confirm the configuration with the green checkmark.

Now that the Camviewer is implemented into the Navigation bar,
you can save all configurations and quit the menu.
