Cameras and Devices contain internal settings specified by the manufacture and System settings that HD Witness applies outside of the Device. An example is Camera Resolution being set and defined within the Camera while Camera Hotspots are defined and contained within the Desktop Client. The devices settings and options available through the System will vary depending on device model, firmware installed, and compliance with industry standards.

Users must be a member of a group having Edit Device permissions or have been granted permission to Edit a Device to perform the tasks outlined in this topics (see "Users and Groups").
