To manage sensor-settings and disassociate from recording profiles, you can configure
custom settings for sensors on a multisensor camera.
What you should know
Sensor-specific custom settings are typically used when different camera settings are
needed for each sensor that aren’t available when using custom camera settings that are
applied to all sensors. Performing this procedure activates sensor-specific custom settings
and ensures that the selected camera sensors are no longer associated with a recording
profile.

From the Devices page in Genetec™ Configuration web, select a
multisensor camera.

Click the Sensors tab in the side pane.

From the Sensors list, select a sensor.

Click the Settings tab in the side pane.
Note: The sensor Settings tab on a
multisensor camera is different from the camera Settings tab
because it only displays and applies settings to the selected sensor.
-
In the Video section, from the Recording
profile list, select Custom.
Note: Cameras configured using the Custom
settings option aren’t displayed in the Recording
profiles list because the custom settings only apply to the selected
