My 3rd party camera (SONY) added in VSG is not displayed in the Device Tree from BVMS Config. Client




  • Cause

Camera is added as ONVIF Encoder in VSG, but it is not visible in the Device Tree either in Devices menu or in Maps and Structure menu from BVMS Configuration Client.

Therefore, the camera cannot be added in the Logical Tree and display its image in the Operator Client.
