You can add an IP camera connected through a network as your video or image input device. Using IP devices makes remote access recording easier by allowing you to configure and access your devices through a network. Some IP devices allow you to capture audio; however, we recommend using an external microphone in your recordings for better audio quality. Also, when using IP cameras connected through the network to capture content, limit the number of devices to two (2) to prevent performance issues.
The use of IP devices with the Recorder
is an experimental feature. IP devices are not supported on RL Mini
Recorders. If you are interested in using IP cameras with your
Recorder, contact your sales representative or our technical support team on the
Mediasite Customer Assurance Portal at www.sonicfoundry.com/support.

1. Navigate to the Capture tab and click Inputs to open the list of sources.
