Configuring a Network Video Camera
The camera setup page allows you to configure your network cameras for use with the IMS-1000.
The unit can capture images from your network camera and attach them to e-mails when an alarm
occurs. The IMS-1000 will also provide links on its web page for viewing a snapshot or live video
from each configured camera. The IMS-1000 includes pre-configured snapshot & live video URLs
for Axis, Panasonic and D-Link cameras, but you can customize the path for any manufacturers
network camera using the Custom option in the Camera Type selection box. Up to 16 cameras can
be used with the IMS-1000.
The first step is to get the camera running on your network. This process is independent of the
IMS-1000. Follow the instructions included with the camera to get it set up on your network. Once
the camera is properly set up, go into the IMS-1000 web page and click on Cameras from the main
menu. Next, click the Add button at the bottom of the screen. This will bring up the Camera Setup
screen (see below). Enter the information about your camera in each of the fields.

sary information. Once you have all of the information entered, click Save and test it by clicking on

protected. You can program all parameters through the web page. This can be secured with the same
permissions options as with the ConsoleView software. To gain access to the programming screens,
you must log in on the web page.
