Timeout
Timeout is the maximum time (seconds) that AMC will attempt to connect to an Axis product before displaying an error
message. The maximum timeout is 999 seconds; the default is 15 seconds.
Reconnection Strategy
If for any reason AMC looses its connection with your Axis camera, a Reconnection Strategy can be used to set up a
reconnection schedule. The default strategy is for AMC to try to reconnect to the camera every 20 seconds for 5 minutes. If
AMC is not able to reconnect to your camera within 5 minutes, an error message will pop up telling you that AMC was not
able to reconnect to the camera.
If you still want AMC to keep trying to reconnect to your camera, you can also set up a second and even a third period of time.
If you want AMC to keep trying indefinitely to reconnect to your camera, click the infinite box.
