I can walk the GetChildren tree. I dont understand enough about Axis cameras, but it feels like each ethernet address supports up to 8 cameras or so. I have two cameras on two different ethernet address but the system shows 8. I only want to see the ones that ‘work’. How can I can I tell from the Items.GetChildren() output?
You cannot. Please do not set up a bad system with non-working cameras. It is a clear recommendation that if you have failing cameras you either fix the cameras or disable them.
If you want a understanding of which cameras mal-ffunction you can use the methods of the StatusViewer sample, you cannot see this in properties of the device or camera.
Thanx. Its not that i have bad cameras. I have only 1 on each ethernet drop, but it is an Axis type somehow it presents itself as 8. The Milestone interfaces see it the same way. I’m still new to this, but i’m thinking that axis can allow several cameras to be attached.
No I think I have seen thsi just as you describe it. Go into the Management Client (or Management Application) and disable the cameras except the first one so that the Axis is one camera not eight.
