To assign a photo from a camera, do the following:

List of camera used for assigning photos is specified when configuring the system (see Selecting and configuring cameras in the Access Manager).

  1. Go to user editing (see Going to user editing).

  2. Click the button. The Select camera window opens.

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

  3. From the Camera drop-down list, select the camera, a photo from which you want to assign to a user.


    You can specify the compression level of the video signal used for assigning a photo on the Cameras tab on the settings panel of the Access Manager object. From the Compression drop-down list, select the required level of video signal compression. Compression level increases from 0 (no compression) to 5 (maximum compression) (see Selecting and configuring cameras in the Access Manager).

    Configuration of compression is relevant if you use analog cameras. We don't recommend using compression for IP cameras.

  4. Click the OK button. The Photo from camera window opens.

  5. Video from the selected video camera is displayed in the left part of the window.
  6. If necessary, selected the method of frame processing from the Rotate and/or inverse drop-down list. The following methods of frame processing are available:
    1. Do not change (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.

  7. By default, the frame is saved without the information about camera number, time the frame was received, and without the information whether the camera is armed or disarmed (the latter is determined by the color of the frame around the camera). If you want to add this information to the captured frame with the user image, set the Show camera number, time of frame and security state checkbox.

    Rotation and superimposition of camera data on the image must be specified before capturing the image, because changing the settings after capturing doesn't affect the already captured frame.


  8. Wait for appropriate frame with the user image and click the Capture button.
  9. The captured frame is display in the right part of the window.
  10. Click the OK button. The received frame will be assigned as the user photo.

Assigning a photo to a user from a camera is completed.
