Experience
EVE - Network and Live Cameras Display & Recording
If you are going to use the EVE Media Player to display and record live cameras, please ensure that you are either on the same subnet or that you check the box to allow the application to change the IP address of any cameras it detects.
Only Arecont Vision cameras are supported at the moment (applies to ALL models). If Arecont Camera's IP address is locked at the camera, the application will not be able to change it even if "allow" box is selected.
All detected cameras should display under the "Cameras" tab in setup.
EVE - Video and Media Files
- The EVE Media Player installs a folder on your C: drive titled EVEMedia.
- The application supports the following: H.264/263, MPEG 2/4, MJPG and file extensions AVI, MOV, WMV, MP4, M4V, 3GP, FLV, etc.
- You can move any of your existing video files into the C:EVEMedia folder or you can use the "Setup" button to index the drives where your videos are currently stored. Simply select the folders you want to index and click OK.
WARNING: we do not recommend that you index your entire C: drive as volume of data can take a long time and any/all media including still pictures already on your system will be indexed.
Once the setup process is complete, you're ready to view and archive any video within the application.
Control Tools
- To locate a file, type any four characters from the file name (including the extension such as .MP4) into the search box (magnifying glass)
