3.3.3.Camera Names

You can assign names to each connected Analog and IP Camera. These names will be used by the RotoKey and for the Video ID in the main interface.

The IP Camera names are Global and only need to be configured at the Master MFD. However, the Analog cameras must be named at each MFD where they are connected.

Please refer to the Appendix “How to configure the AXIS IP Camera” for more information.

Note: “PnP” refers to the Analog Connection (Picture in Picture). Four PnP are available on the MFDBB and two on the MFD8/12.
