Video Sources; Adding A Video Source - Axis 292 User Manual

Video Sources

This section describes how to add and manage video sources (encoders) in the
AXIS 292 Network Video Decoder.
The Video Source List shows all of the sources currently added to the system. Various information about each
source is shown, including the source's last known status.

Adding a video source

Click the Add source... button to open the Add dialog.
When adding a new video source, ensure that it is correctly
connected and powered up before attempting configuration.
The following settings need to be made:
Name - Provide a unique name for the new video source.
Sequence mode - Select whether or not to include the video
source in auto and/or manual sequence mode. If Auto is
selected, also enter a Display time, to set how long the
video source will be displayed for, before switching to the
next source in the list. Note that if neither sequence mode is
selected, the video source will only be displayed if the
Connect to button in the video source list is clicked, or if an
alarm triggers display of the source. See also page 14 for
more information on sequence mode.
Video Encoder
Address - Enter the IP address (or host name) of the video encoder to add. If the encoder is mapped to a port,
you can enter the port number after the IP address, separated by a colon:
Example: 192.168.0.90:8080
User Name and Password - If authentication is required by the video encoder, enter the user name and
password to access it.
Notes:
•Selecting a user with viewing rights only on the encoder is recommended.
•The video encoder's home page can be opened in your browser by clicking the provided button.
Video Source
Video Source Number - Some video encoders support multiple video channels and/or quad streams. If this is
available, select the channel to connect to. This value has no effect if the video encoder only supports one
channel.
