Setup
NOTE:
Some options are disabled if they are not supported by the camera or if you do not have the required
user permissions.
The device’s factory default settings allow you to use the camera or encoder immediately after installation. If you
have special requirements, you can customize the settings through the web interface. In the top-left menu links
area, click

A
Restore Defaults
button is available on each setup page to allow you to restore the factory default settings.

in the network video management software.
