Configuring the cameras
To add your cameras in FortiRecorder:
- Go to Camera > Configuration > Camera.
- Select New.
- Enter the name of the camera.
- Select VIP from the Address mode dropdown menu, and enter the address and port.
- Select the SD Card tab and enable SD Storage.
- Enter the rest of the options as desired, and click Create.
- Go to System > Configuration > Options and enter a Public Access address.
The example screenshots of the setup work because the recorder is using a VIP, which puts the FortiRecorder basically directly on the internet. In a NAT translated situation on the recorder side, you may require a session helper to get RTSP/RTP live streaming operational. See Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) session helper.
