Cameras (Devices node)

Last Updated: 1 minute read

Camera devices are added automatically when you add hardware to the system and are by default enabled.

The system comes with a default start feed rule which ensures that video feeds from all connected cameras are automatically fed to the system. The default rule can be deactivated and/or modified as required.

Follow this configuration order to complete the most typical tasks related to configuration of a camera device:

  1. Configure camera settings, see Settings tab (devices).

  2. Configure streams, see Streams tab (devices).

  3. Configure motion, see Motion tab (devices).

  4. Configure recording, see Record tab (devices) and Monitor the status of databases for devices.

  5. Configure the remaining settings as needed.
