Configuring Devices
The Devices tab in the Setup screen allows you to configure cameras, encoders, decoders, monitors, NVRs, alarms, relays, and base devices.
Information about remote devices like transcoders, gateways, and wireless devices is displayed on the Devices tab. You can configure remote
devices such as a wireless encoder by connecting to the device over the Internet from the Devices tab. Refer to the installation manual that was
provided with the wireless device for more information about configuration. The Device list displays all devices on the network. The “Modify
device” pane displays settings for the device currently selected from the list.
You can make changes to devices when they are online. If a device is not currently online, a red slash mark across its icon and the text in the
“Modify device” pane is unavailable.
