NOTES:
• Camera models that are supported will require the selection of the manufacturer protocol (SiRiS protocol
for EVOnet) or the ONVIF TM Conformance protocol.
• All camera models listed are supported by design and changes to their firmware/protocol/versions are subject
to change without notice and if communication cannot be achieved, please consult the supplier for assistance.
• Please refer to the camera’s manufacturer’s manual to enable ONVIF TM Conformance protocol, as procedures
may differ for each model. Alternatively ask your supplier about supported models.

• Name, Address, Device Type: Displays the name, IP address and type of the selected device. The
name will be updated automatically depending on the settings of the device.
• ID, Password: Enter the user ID and password which you set in the device in order to connect to that
device remotely. The connection to the device is allowed only to the users under the Administrator
group of the device, and recording is allowed only to the admin and pacom users under the
Administrator group of the device.
• Recording Service: Select a recording service (supported only for the network video devices). The
device is registered on the recording service and the recording service performs recording according
to a recording schedule. The channel number of the recording service indicates the maximum number
of cameras that can be registered, and the name indicates the name of a recording service, which was
set during the Service menu setup. When selecting the Do not record option, the SiRiS program treats
the device during the Schedule setup as though it was not registered and does not perform any of the
scheduled activities associated with the device. If you delete the device from the recording service
after some recording has been done, you cannot search or play back the previously recorded video
though you register the device again. You can check the list of devices registered on the recording
service on a Device Setup tab while setting up the recording service in the Service menu. Refer to
Chapter 13 — Storage Management (p. 113) for details.
• Streaming Service: Select whether or not to use the streaming service for monitoring video from the
device. If the device uses the streaming service, the SiRiS program transmits video from the device
to the client system through the streaming service, and it allows multiple users to monitor video
simultaneously. When the device uses the streaming service, icon is displayed beside the device
in the Site List of the SiRiS Client program. The number of channels that can be streamed equals
the number of channels that can be recorded. Refer to Chapter 10 — Streaming (p. 91) for details.
