How to set up digital video verification

Users can use digital video verification for any camera with a Device-Camera link to a reader.

Note: The LS Linkage Server must be configured and the service must be running for video verification to function.

To configure a device-camera link for use with digital video verification:

1) Start System Administration.

2) From the Video menu, select Digital Video. The Digital Video folder opens.

3) On the Device-Camera Links tab, click [Add]. The Select Device window opens.

4) Do one of the following:

- Select the Search Device by Panel Filter radio button, and then select a device type and a panel filter from the drop-down lists. The names of the devices that match your search will be displayed in the listing window.

- Select the Search Device by Name radio button if you know the name of the device you want to link. Type in the name of the device, and then click [Find] If the name you entered is located in the system, it will be displayed in the device listing window.

5) In the listing window, click the name of the device you want to link. A red checkmark will appear next to the name of the selected device.

6) Click [Next]. The Select camera(s) window opens.

7) Select a recorder from the Video Recorder drop-down list. The names of the corresponding cameras will be displayed in the listing window.

8) In the cameras listing window, select the name of the camera(s) you want to link. The names of selected cameras will appear in the linked cameras listing window.
