Managing Cameras
You can have up to six cameras connected to a TouchScreen at a time. Each camera has a name
assigned to it when it is added. Each camera can also be associated with a sensor so that it takes a
series of pictures when an alarm is tripped by the sensor.
IMPORTANT:
The camera images are accessible to the TouchScreen device and (for one of the
cameras) to the Subscriber Portal. NOTHING ELSE. Service Provider tools do not have access to
these images.
You can configure the following details for each camera:
