EchoVideo supports any IP Camera that provides an RTSP stream (real-time streaming protocol) for use with any Pro, Pod, or Universal Capture: Classroom device. Adding an IP Camera configuration for your Institution will make it available as an input option for all UC-capable devices. Any IP camera configured for an Institution can be used in more than one room for maximum flexibility.

NOTE that when navigating to the IP Camera configuration page, only the configurations for the Institution you last logged into directly are displayed. Switching Institutions via your profile does not update the displayed configurations, you must log out and then log directly into the desired Institution.

Adding an IP Camera Configuration

1. Log into EchoVideo as an Administrator.
2. Click the Settings icon and select Configurations from the Settings menu.
3. Select IP Camera configurations from the options on the left.
4. Click Add Configuration to start setting up your IP Camera.
   
5. Enter a unique ID that is used to identify the camera on the Rooms configuration screen.
6. Enter the RTSP address of the camera. This address is available with the camera utility.
7. Select the default resolution of the camera.

   When configuring an IP Camera that is mainly going to be used in Rooms that have a Pro or a Pod, make sure that the resolution is set to 720p. This is the only resolution that is currently supported for IP Cameras with appliances.

8. Optionally enter a username and password.
   
9. Click Save.

Adding an additional IP camera is as easy as clicking on Add Configuration again. Click on Delete to remove an IP camera. Once an IP camera has been configured for use with your Institution, it can now be added to a Room.

Note that in order to delete an IP Camera configuration the camera must first be removed from any room configuration – if applicable.
