Add USB sources

You can add a USB device, such as a webcam, as your video or image input source. Using a USB device allows you to quickly set up a video capture device and begin recording. Some USB devices include a built-in microphone; however, we recommend using an external microphone for better audio quality.

  If you are using a RL220 Recorder, make sure to activate your USB Capture Device license first. All other Recorder models support USB devices without a license.

To enable and add USB devices:

1.  Connect your USB device to the Recorder.

2.  Navigate to the Recorder tab and click Inputs to open the list of sources.

3.  Click Add   next to USB Sources and select your device from the list.

4.  Once your device appears under USB Sources, route it to an output.
