Remarks

Camera identification

Camera is identified by two inputs:

  • inAddress - server name or IP address of camera. It is not a http address using to view image by website. For example:
    http://my.camera.com/folder/view/viewer_index.shtml?id=217
    
    inAddress is
    http://my.camera.com
    
  • inCameraID - camera source. Applies only to video servers with more than one video input.
Changing parameters

AXIS Camera support is based on MJPEG streaming, and after changing any parameter the connection must be reset.

The simplest way to reset connection is to stop and restart the program.

Aurora Vision Studio support only basic authentication, please check your device setting.
In order to change authentication method you need to right-click device on the list in AXIS Device Manager and go to Configure Device. There you need to change "Authentication Policy" parameter to "Basic"

HTTPS is not supported.

Configuring the settings in the manufacturer's application may take priority.

New camera models use a global rotation setting.
