These are all network video cameras that allow you to view live streaming video or capture images to e-mail when an alarm occurs. The camera or server connects to your network via an RJ-45 jack and supports 10/100 Mbit networks. Up to 128 cameras or servers may be associated with each Host or Node. The RIM-600 ConsoleView Software allows you easily to click and view live video wherever your camera is installed.

When an Axis Camera Server is used, up to four cameras can be viewed at the same time. You can view a single camera by clicking on the video image you want to display. If you click again, it will return to the quad image. You can also capture a still image from either the quad or single camera display by right-clicking and choosing Capture Image.

The first step is to get the camera running on your network. This process is independent of the RIM-600. Follow the instructions included with the camera to get it set up. Once the camera is properly set up, go into the RIM-600 ConsoleView Software. Cameras are added to the RIM-600 by expanding the Settings menu and right-clicking on the word Cameras. Choose Add Camera. This will bring up the Camera Setup screen (see below). Enter the IP address, port number, and security settings (if required) of the camera according to how it has been configured on your net- work. See sample screen below:
