For all cameras, Nx Witness captures and displays the unique camera ID, RTSP URLs for primary and secondary streams, and a link to the device web page in the Camera Settings -> General tab. S ee Configuring Device Using Web Page.

For ONVIF-compliant cameras, Nx Witness also provides editable fields for stream, image quality, version, and related parameters in the Settings pane of the Camera Settings -> Advanced dialog. For the most commonly-used cameras, a Web pane in the same tab opens the device's web page where you can configure other proprietary device parameters such as in-camera events, security controls, and network settings.

Note: If no settings are displayed, the device is not ONVIF-compliant and cannot support custom configuration.
