SETUP

 

 

The web interface is made up of two main pages: the Live View page and the Setup page. The Live View 

page interface was introduced in the previous section. 

The Setup interface is primarily used for viewing and configuring the IP camera’s settings.   

From the Live View page, click the Setup link at the top right side:   

 

Below is a screenshot of the Setup page. The initial page displayed is the “System Information” page. 

 

The left hand panel lists the configuration nodes which can be viewed and modified. Clicking on an item will 

reveal sub menus which are available.
