Remote Recipient

http://<CAMERA_IP>/axis-cgi/param.cgi

If there are multiple cameras you will need to add multiple remote recipients and rules tied to those remote recipients.

INSTEAD:

For any remote/slave cameras:

• Set I/O ports
• Create privacy presets
• Create masks
• Create recipients

⚠

Do not load rules. The master camera will contain all rules.
