A/V STREAMS TAB
Use the A/V Streams tab to configure the video and audio streams for the camera. The A/V Streams tab
includes a Video Presets page, a Video Configuration page, and an Audio Configuration page.
Video Presets: The Video Preset page includes three fully-configured video presets, which include
primary and secondary video stream settings for easy setup. These presets may also be used as a starting
point for a custom video configuration. These preset configurations vary depending on camera model.
Video Configuration: The Video Configuration page allows you to customize the compression, resolution,
image rate, and bit rate of the video streams. The default names for the streams are Primary Stream and
Secondary Stream. Although each stream can be configured independently, the settings of one stream can
limit the options available to the other stream, depending on the processing power used.
NOTE: Always configure the primary stream before the secondary stream. The primary stream should
always be the most resource-intensive of the streams.
Audio Configuration: The Audio Configuration page allows you to setup the external audio device. The
default setting for Audio is disabled, which means that no audio is transmitted from the camera. When
enabled, audio is transmitted from the camera to the PC. Based on your system configuration, images and
audio may not be synchronized.
NOTE: Improper use of audio/visual recording equipment may subject you to civil and criminal penalties.
Applicable laws regarding the use of such capabilities vary between jurisdictions and may require, among
other things, express written consent from the recorded subjects. You are solely responsible for insuring
strict compliance with such laws and for strict adherence to any/all rights of privacy and personalty.
USERS AND GROUPS TAB
Users: Defines the permissions assigned to individuals logged on to the camera. Use this feature to
create, modify, or delete user accounts.
Groups: Defines the permissions assigned to users within a group. Use this setting to create, modify, and
delete groups and permissions. Multiple permissions can be assigned to each group.
General Settings: Changes the way the camera manages the users and groups settings. These settings
can be managed on a camera-to-camera basis or by using a centralized server to apply changes to multiple
cameras.
EVENTS TAB
Sources: Defines the camera functions that are automatically triggered by an event source. The camera
supports alarm, system, and timer event sources.
Handlers: Defines the actions that a camera takes when an event occurs. The camera supports four event
handlers: Send Email, Write JPEG to SD Card, Upload JPEG to FTP Server, and Open/Close Relay.
Analytic Configuration: Only available with the IXE Models. Allows you to create several custom
profiles that contain different camera settings. With these profiles, you can set up different scenarios for a
behavior, which will automatically detect and trigger alarms when specific activity is detected.
