Add Device - Add new cameras or video servers. See the previous
section Devices - Quick Setup, on page 10 and the more detailed section
Changing Device Settings, on page 15.
Edit Device - Edit/update the configuration of an existing device.
Remove Device - Removes an existing device from the system.
Settings - Set up image quality and recording conditions, etc. for the
camera. See Setting Image Quality and Recording Conditions, on page
18.
I/O Setup - Define inputs and outputs to use in the system. Inputs can
be used to create an alert or start/stop a camera. Outputs can activate
the output ports on selected devices and thus activate e.g. a siren or a
light. See also Inputs and Outputs, on page 39.
I/O Control - Set up defined inputs to activate selected outputs. Several
inputs can activate the same output. Both external inputs and timer
events can be used to activate an output.
Devices - Detailed Setup Information
This section goes into more detail about the process covered in Devices -
Quick Setup, on page 10, and describes the various options available while
using the Device Setup Wizard.
IP address - The camera/video server uses this IP address on the network.
This will be the address you used to initially install the device.
Port Setup - The HTTP and FTP protocols usually communicate on the
standard ports 80 and 21, respectively. If these values have been changed
in the camera/video server, then enter these values here. This is used if
several devices share the same IP address (e.g. when behind a router). In
most cases it will not be necessary to change the default ports.
Password - An administrator account is used to configure the connected
camera or video server. Enter the password for the device's default
administrator account root.
Autodetect Device - For the fastest detection, select the video device type
manually. Alternatively, select Autodetect Type and let the system find
the device type.
