CONFIGURING IP CAMERAS The IP Cameras tab (refer to Figure 6) allows you to configure IP cameras connected to the VAU through the TCP/IP network port. A limited number of IP cameras can be connected to a VAU, and a valid manufacturer-specific license must be installed for each. The top of the tab displays the number of licenses installed for each camera manufacturer. Figure 6.

• The top of the window displays the location of the camera input automatically selected for the IP camera. By default, the final input on the final input device (or “board”) is selected for the IP camera. Because up to 32 cameras can exist on any board, and up to four boards can exist on any VAU, the input selected for the IP camera might not actually exist. If you want to use the automatically selected camera input for an analog camera, manually select the IP camera’s input by clicking Chan

MOTION The Motion tab (refer to Figure 11) allows you to configure how much motion is required to trigger motion recording. It is also used to create motion masks, which ignore motion in certain areas of a camera’s view, and to test your motion setup. Live video from the selected camera is displayed on this tab. Figure 11. Motion Tab for Motion Settings and Masks NOTE: If the “Use Motion Detection in IP Camera” option is selected on the General tab for an IP camera, only the Alarm Settings,
