    Answer

     

    Please be careful if there is a red padlock next to the camera name, in Configuration Manager.

    This means that you didn't log in. When this happens, the message "VCA: Authorization required" (when the English interface is used) is displayed in the VCA tab.

     

    Note:

    Please note that the VCA configuration can only be changed in Configuration Manager after you have logged into the camera with the service user or a IVA configuration user.

     

    To log in, you will need to right click on the camera and then choose the option "Set Session Authentication..." from the drop-down menu list.

    After doing so, the red padlock will be replaced by a yellow exclamation mark, the message "VCA: Authorization required" should disappear and you should be able to configure the VCA without any issues in the Configuration Manager.

    • The IVA configuration user can be used in Configuration Manager 7.2 or higher and not in the web page, according to the release note (page 7 and 13).

       

    • Also, according to the same release note (page 15), "in web browsers that do not support MPEG-ActiveX, VCA configuration is only possible via Configuration Manager. An info message to use Configuration Manager is presented, with a hint where to get Configuration Manager if it is not installed".

      You can download the latest version of MPEG-ActiveX using the following link (Software > select MPEG ActiveX) in order to be able to configure VCA in the web browsers that support MPEG-ActiveX.

      Additionally, you can find below the VCA manuals, as it might come in handy for the VCA configuration:
