As a rule IP devices allow processing one or more video signals depending on the type of device in use.

Every IP device used for video input is registered in INTELLECT™ software  by creating and configuring the Video Capture Device object. The Video Capture Device objects are created in the Hardware tab under the Computer object.

When the Video Capture Device objects are created the following parameters are to be set for every IP device:

1. In the Type list select IP device Vendor and codec used by this device.

   Codec is specified in brackets. If the codec is not specified, then MJPEG is set by default.

   
   

2. In the Model list select IP device model.

   If the model is not in the list, it is not integrated. Consider connecting IP device via one of the standard protocols.

   
   

3. In the Firmware list select the firmware on the device.
4. In the IP address field specify the assigned network address of IP device. Information on how to assign IP addresses is given in Assigning network addresses to IP devices section.
5. In the Port field specify the port number (TCP/IP) used for video transmission.
6. Specify the corresponding data in the Name and Password fields to log in Web server of IP device.
7. If the parameters set with the help of Web server or another software of IP device are to be used, then set the Use device settings checkbox.

After logging in INTELLECT™ the values corresponding to numbers of connection channels of video cameras to IP device are to be given to the Chanel number parameters of the Camera object.
