  3. When you have finished, click Save Changes.
  4. In the System panel, in the Video Cameras section, for each video camera, ensure that the correct alias is selected from the Capture Directory list.

...

In the System panel, select a video camera, and then set the following attributes:  

  1. In the General section, ensure Enabled is selected and set the Stream IP Address for the selected video camera. This must be the address that was set for this video camera in the Windows Network and Sharing Center, as shown in  in the Vicon video: Vicon Vue Configuration (see above). Ensure the camera’s IP address is not the same as that used by any other optical or video camera, or any other device. As the address ending in 192.168.10.1 is always reserved for the system, normally video cameras take the next available IP addresses (for example, 192.168.10.2, 192.168.10.3, etc).
    The video stream is now displayed in the Cameras view of the selected video camera.
    You can now calibrate the video camera, along with the other cameras (see Calibrate cameras).
  2. To configure the capture settings:
    1. Note that for the best performance and to avoid running out of disk space, in the Capture section, set the Capture Directory to a drive that is different from that used by the Data Management or Eclipse database. If possible, specify a different drive for each video camera, as described in inSet up aliases for video capture. If not, at least divide the video cameras into separate groups, depending on the drive speed, and allocate a separate drive to each group.
      The folder structure created by setting the Capture Directory duplicates the structure of the Data Management capture path.
    2. To change the sampling rate for video cameras, in the System panel, in the Video cameras section, click to select the required video camera and in the General section select the required option from the Sub Sampling Divisor list.
    3. If you need to adjust the saturation, click Show Advanced and change the relevant setting in the Video Mode section.
