Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

For ONVIF-compliant cameras, Nx Witness provides direct access to a camera's web page to pull proprietary device parameters such as authorization, network settings, and display controls into the Desktop Client where they can be configured directly.

From the General tab

1.Select a camera and open the Camera Settings > General tab.

2.If the device requires authentication, enter camera credentials in the Authentication section (see "Configuring Device Authentication"). You must have "Edit camera settings" permission to perform this function.

3.Click on the Web Page link. The browser will open the device’s web page. From here you can control settings such as display size, JPEG refresh rate, PTZ and focus speed, etc.

note Note: A web page may be inaccessible because it is located on a different network. To check device accessibility, press the Ping button prior to opening the web page.

From the Web Page tab

1.Select a camera and open the Camera Settings > Web Page tab

2.The device's web page will open within that tab.
