The **Auto Number Cameras** feature numbers the connected Vicon cameras in ascending order, according to their position in the volume. We advise using this feature after you have calibrated your Vicon system, so that your cameras are logically numbered before tracking begins.

Automatic numbering starts with the camera that is furthest from the volume origin. The cameras are then numbered in a clockwise direction around the volume. If your cameras are positioned at different levels, the cameras in the level with the most cameras are numbered first.

**To automatically number Vicon cameras:**

1. Ensure that the cameras are positioned as required, and that you have calibrated the cameras and set the volume origin.
2. To enable you to check the camera numbering for all cameras, in the **System** panel, ensure that you can see the list of Vicon cameras.
3. In the **Camera Calibration** panel, go to the **Volume Setup** section, ensure advanced parameters are displayed > Macro (inline-media-image)

 and in the **Auto Number Cameras** section, click **Auto Number Cameras**.  
The cameras are automatically numbered in ascending order, according to their position in the volume.
4. In the volume, check that the cameras are now numbered as required.
