The Cameras tab contains the list of available cameras.
For more details on connecting cameras, see How can a camera be connected to the system?
The cogwheel in each row of a configured camera prompts the Camera Settings window to open, where the following settings can be specified:
- Name - camera name for distinction
- Autofocus - only for PTZ cameras: when checked, the focus is set automatically when using pant-tilt-zoom
- Current position - only for PTZ cameras: a preset position that can be saved by typing in a title then clicking the Add button
NOTE: Once a new position is added, the 'Available positions' drop-down appears with a Go to and a Remove button, activating or deleting the selected position respectively.
- Video size - resolution of the camera feed
- Quality - quality of the video
- Audio source - source of audio for the camera feed (if the camera does not have a built-in microphone)
- Audio gain (dB) - volume setting for the audio source (built-in mic or selected source)
- White balance - adjustment of the intensity of white color in the camera feed
NOTE: Normally, the 'Automatic' setting is optimal, it should only be changed under special circumstances.
- Upside down - for ceiling-mounted PTZ camera types, checking this setting allows for switching the original (ceiling) perspective
