After a camera has been configured the configuration must be applied by the server.

If the camera configuration has been changed and has not been applied by the server, this will be indicated by a yellow triangle over the camera icon in the configuration tree

By clicking Undo changes you can revert to the last saved configuration.

When clicking Apply configuration the changes are applied to the server. The configuration validation is shown in the following window.

By default, the server will only stop those cameras whose configuration was changed. This can be overruled by checking the checkbox “Do not check for changes" and clicking the <Apply configuration> button again. This will force the server to stop all cameras and apply their configuration, regardless if the configuration was changed or not.

If you do not want all cameras to be stopped, you can close the window.

Note

Applying a new configuration can cause the system to reconfigure and initialize the hard disk partition for video storage, i. e. the directories for the respective camera. In case of memory quota extension, new empty video files (place holders) will be added to a camera folder. In case of a quota reduction, existing video recordings may be deleted. Only folders of the respective camera(s) will be affected.

ibaCapture Manager saves the configurations on the video server in an XML file. After that, the video service will be restarted and the changes will take effect. The hard disk (the partition for the video files) is reconfigured.

After the changes have been applied click Close configuration to switch to camera view mode.
