Cameras

The Cameras tab of System Devices designates which terminals have cameras attached and what events that camera should capture. In order for the camera to be operational it must first be configured in the System Devices with a Terminal, Description, Frame Rate, and Event to Capture. Users will also need to specify Camera Allocation Controls in Hardware Settings.
