Configuring Camera Settings

The Cameras section of the Settings view allows you to configure settings of LPA cameras. You can perform the following activities:

• Change video streams in camera slots
• Update camera settings
• Add and delete workstations
• Add and delete cameras

Changing Video Streams in Camera Slots

By default, when you access the Cameras section for a location for the first time, LPA automatically creates and displays the first workstation in the settings console. LPA detects all cameras available in the network and displays the first four cameras in camera slots for this workstation (cameras are listed by IP addresses). The video streams from the cameras set in the video slots are recorded in the LPA infrastructure and presented in the LPA video journal and in the LPA Settings Console.

If necessary, you can change video streams in video slots, that is, select video streams from which cameras must be recorded and demonstrated in the LPA video journal and settings console. To do this, use the back and forward buttons displayed over the video slot. Once you click the button, LPA switches to the camera having the next or previous IP address in the list.

For example, in the video slot, the video stream from the camera with IP address 192.168.1.225 is displayed. To change the video stream to the camera with IP address 192.168.1.226, click the forward button. To change the video stream to the camera with IP address 192.168.1.224, click the back button.

Updating Camera Settings

If necessary, you can update settings of a specific LPA camera set up at the location.

To update camera settings:

1. In the Camera Settings section, at the bottom right of the necessary camera slot, click the settings icon.

   

2. In the Camera pane to the right, view and update the following settings:

• IP: Specify the IP address of the camera. By default, LPA automatically discovers IP addresses of all cameras in the network and displays them in the IP addresses list. You can also enter the IP address for the camera manually. To do this, select the Set Manually check box and in the IP field, enter the IP address.
• Login: Specify the user name to connect to the camera.
• Password: Specify the password to connect to the camera.
• Manufacturer: Select the camera manufacturer.

3. At the top of the Camera pane, click Done to save the changes.

   

Adding and Deleting Workstations

LPA cameras are grouped by workstations. There can be no more than four cameras in one workstation. If you have more than one workstation set for the location in CStoreOffice®, you can add workstations in the LPA Settings Console.

To add a workstation:

1. At the top right of the Camera Settings section, click Add Workstation.

   

   Result: A new workstation is added at the bottom of the section.

2. In the Workstation field, specify the name for the new workstation. By default, LPA automatically discovers all workstations registered in CStoreOffice® and displays them in the list. You can also enter the workstation name manually. To do this, select the Set Manually check box and in the Workstation field, enter the workstation name.
3. At the top right of the Camera Settings section, click Save Settings.

To delete a workstation from the settings console, to the right of the workstation, click Delete and confirm deletion. Note that cameras added to the workstation are deleted as well.
