8.3 Network Camera Settings
VIGIL Server is able to receive video from one or many network
cameras connected to a LAN or WAN. VIGIL Server currently
supports several types of network cameras.
To setup or change a network camera, check the Network Cam-
era box, then click the Settings… button. This will open the
Network Camera Settings window.
Note: The Network Camera feature disables the phys-
ical camera input on the video capture card.
Type

Warning: Due to the substantial overhead associated with HTTP, attempting to record HTTP camera
feeds over the Internet is not recommended. High speed LAN or WAN configurations are recommended
for HTTP camera use. If the network bandwidth is insufficient, the message Signal Loss will be displayed
in place of the live feed.

address.
