Questions
Do I need SDDP?
No. SDDP lets Composer find the camera for you. Without it, add the driver by hand and type the camera’s IP address.
Can Control4 change camera settings?
No. Set motion detection, encoding and night mode on the camera or NVR while you install it.
Does the NVR stream video to Control4?
No. Control4 plays each camera’s own stream. The NVR drivers bring the NVR’s screen and its events into Control4.
