Note: On startup, the PX performs all of its functions, including event
rules and logs, based on the new configuration file you have selected
instead of the previous configuration prior to the device reset. For
example, "Bulk configuration copied" is logged only when the new
configuration file contains the "Bulk configuration copied" event rule.
Tip: You can also back up and restore a configuration file using a Secure
Copy (SCP) command. See
Backup and Restore via SCP (on page
542).
Webcam Management
With a Logitech
®
webcam connected to the PX device, you can visually
monitor the environment around the PX via snapshots or videos captured
by the webcam.

To view snapshots and videos, you need the permission of either
"Change Webcam Configuration" or "View Webcam Sanpshots and
Configuration."

To configure webcam settings, you need the "Change Webcam
Configuration" permission.
For more information on the Logitech webcam, see the user
documentation accompanying it. For information on connecting a
webcam to the PX, see
Connecting a Logitech Webcam
(on page 69).
You can manually store snapshots taken from the webcam onto the PX
or a remote server. See

(on page 304) or

(on page 306).
Links to snapshots or videos being captured by a webcam can be sent
via email or instant message. See

Email or Instant Message

created. See
