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 set up the internal audio device or an
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.
NOTES:
• 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.
• Not all camera models are equipped with an internal audio device. Refer to the specifications for
your camera model for information.
USERS TAB
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. Use the general settings page to set the public user access level. This access level is a
predefined set of user permissions that allow the camera to be accessed without logging on. The
permission levels are Operator, Viewer, and Disabled.
Users: Defines the permissions assigned to individuals logged on to the camera. The Users page also
includes four predefined access level settings: Administrator, Manager, Operator, and Viewer permissions.
