To assign a photograph from a video camera, do the following:

List of video camera used for assigning photographs is specified while system configuring (see the Selecting available cameras in the Access Manager section).

  1. Go to editing a user (see the Going to user editing section).

  2. Click the  button (1). As a result, the Select camera window will open.

    You can also open the Select camera window by right-clicking on the user's photo area and selecting Assign picture -> From camera in the opened functional menu.


  3. From the Camera drop-down list select the camera from which photograph will be captured (1).

  4. If it's required to change the level of video signal compression used for assigning a photograph, select from the Level of compression drop-down list the required level of video signal compression (2). Compression level is increasing from 0 (without compression) to 5 (maximum compression). 

    Configuring of compression is required while using analog cameras. It's not recommended to use compression for IP-cameras.


  5. Click OK button (3). The Photo from camera window will open.

  6. Video from the selected video camera is displayed in the window (1).
  7. If it's required selected the way of frame processing from the Rotate and/or inverse drop-down list (2). the following ways of frame processing are available:
    1. Do not change (on default).
    2. Rotate 90.
    3. Rotate 180.
    4. Rotate 270.
    5. Inverse horizontally.
    6. Rotate 90 and inverse horizontally.
    7. Inverse vertically.
    8. Rotate 90 and inverse vertically.

  8. The frame is saving without information about camera number, time of frame receiving, without information about camera arming or disarming (it is defined by color of the frame around camera). If it's required to add this information to the captured frame with the user image, set the Show camera number, time of frame and security state checkbox (3).

     It's recommended to configure rotation and add information to the frame before the image capturing. Changing of these settings after capturing won't lead to their disappearing from the captured frame.


  9. Wait for appropriate frame with the user image and click the Capture button (4).
  10. The received frame will display in the (5) window.
  11. Click the OK button (6). The received frame will be assigned as the user photograph.

Assigning a photograph to user from a video camera is completed.
