1. Highlight the object in the list of devices on the Server (1).
   
   The configuration field for the selected object will be displayed in the area on the right (2).
   
   
2. Select Yes from the list in the Enable field to enable the video camera.
   
3. Assign the video camera a name which will be displayed in the objects tree and in the viewing tile, in the Name field.
   
   The ID of a video camera object is set automatically during creation. However, it can be edited in the corresponding field. The ID is also the serial number of the video camera: in theMonitor interface window and in the equipment tree of the server, the video cameras are placed in ascending order by ID. 
   
   

4. Enter the number of the network port through which data exchange between the video camera and the software will take place, if needed. The default value is 80.
   
   

   Info
   title Note
   At first the port number is set through the camera's Web interface

   

    

5. If the user name and/or password for connecting to the video camera are different from the factory settings, select No in the Use by default field within the Authentication parameter group and define the connection parameters.
   
   

   Info
   title Note
   The user name and password can be changed in the video camera's web interface

   

   When this method of authentication is selected, the software package will connect to the video camera with the indicated user name and password.

6. If the video camera supports the simultaneous transmission of several video streams, you can separately configure a video stream for recording to the archive and a video stream for display in viewing tiles. To do this, in the Video stream selection list, select Yes. If this function is not supported by the video camera, the value of this parameter will not be active.

   
   

   
   If the video camera does not support simultaneous transmission of several video streams, the parameters of the video streams for recording and for display are identical. In this case only the parameters of the video stream for recording are accessible for editing (the parameters of the video stream for display change automatically). 

   
   
   
   

   Info
   title Note
   In most cases, the following parameters are set for video streams: bit rate, compression rate, frame rate, and resolution. Detailed information on configurable parameters can be found in the official reference documentation for the video camera

   Info
   title Note
   When some video stream parameters are changed, the video camera may automatically restart, in which case it will become unavailable for some time (depending on the video camera)

7. Configure additional video camera parameters (such as contrast, brightness, and color saturation) in the Other group, based on their description in the Axxon Next interface or in more detail in the official reference documentation for the video camera.

   

8. Click Apply in the bottom-right corner of the program window to apply the new settings.
