You can also configure networked video sources on your Pearl device.

  1. Log in to the Admin panel as admin, see Connect to the Admin panel.
  2. Ensure a source is connected to the input port, see About connecting video and audio sources.
  3. From the Inputs menu, click the source name. The configuration page for the source opens.
