ONVIF Camera Discovery
If you have ONVIF cameras on your network, a list of each detected camera will appear in a darkened block like in the image below. Enter the ONVIF Camera authentication username and password here and click the Connect button.

10. Show Media Capture Wizard
    When checked, when you click the Start button the input video feed will start, and the Media Capture Wizard will appear, in which you can configure the Black Box and Media Storage settings. You can also skip by clicking Cancel Wizard button to view the video input display without configuring or click Next to skip Blackbox and proceed to Media Storage.

When unchecked, when the Start button is clicked, the input video feed will start without presenting the Media Capture Wizard.

Note: In the IP Camera Input type configuration panel, QuickSync (H264 only) may appear in the Decoder selection field if you have DVR+O /SCI installed on a system that has an Intel processor that only supports H264 (In this example, this i5 Intel processor does not support H265, only supports H264).

If you get this message, it maybe because you are trying to connect to a camera configured for H265, but your processor does not support H265.

As the message suggests, change the Decoder to CPU and try to connect to the IP camera again or adjust the encoder of the camera.
