Network Camera Settings 2.1.5
Vigil Server is able to receive video from one or many network cameras connected to the LAN or WAN. If you
are configuring a network camera, check the “Network Camera” check box. The “Network Camera Settings”
window will appear. If you would like to change the settings of an existing network camera, click the
“Settings…” button.
Note: The Network Camera feature disables the physical camera input on the video capture
card.
Warning: Due to the substantial overhead associated with HTTP, attempting to record HTTP
camera feeds over the Internet is not recommended. High speed LAN or WAN configurations are
recommended for HTTP camera use. If the network bandwidth is insufficient, the message “Signal Loss”
will be displayed in place of the live feed.
