Identifying and managing devices physically connected to a server, creating users with varying
permissions, and creating rules and automatic reponses are just a few of the things the user can
do by creating and configuring system objects.
The procedure for working with system objects varies slightly depending on their type, but
generally you should adhere to the following sequence of actions:
1. Create an object.
2. Configure its parameters.
3. Save changes.
4. Edit the values of parameters.
5. Save changes.
It is necessary to save changes if the object was deleted.
Some system object parameters have a set range of values. In this case you must select the
appropriate value from a list. Other parameters serve to display information, while yet others
must be set manually according to the recommendations in the parameter's description (as a rule,
the parameter description is displayed in a special area under the object properties table when the
parameter is selected).
As is evident from the sequence listed above, any changes made during configuration should be
saved by clicking the Apply button. Changes will be applied without software restart after clicking
the Apply button. Before you click the Apply button, the changes may be cleared using the Canc
el button.
Devices
System objects corresponding to physically connected devices appear in the system as a result of
the device search. To search for a device, use the
button on the Device tab.
Devices found are displayed with their IP addresses as an Unallocated equipment list.
The desired unallocated equipment must be linked to a server, after which it will be displayed in
the list of devices on the server and will be accessible as Camera or IP Server for further
configuration.
The object tree of Camera and IP server objects is generated automatically according to its
functions which are integrated into the EyStream software package (the presence of alarm
inputs, relay outputs, a pan/tilt unit, etc.).
