- The IP address of the device
- The current software version
- The calibration state, true means it's calibrated, and false that is need to be calibrated
- The activation state, true means it's activated and the information provided to the gateway will be taken into account, and false the gateway won't take into account its data. You can use this state, to discard a camera that seems to be badly calibrated.
- The position, it will help you identify where this camera is.
When you click on a camera, you will see the corresponding case turning yellow. The camera should also display a yellow light, if it's not currently tracking a tag. The red light on the camera means that it is currently tracking something. If you have no tag turned on, it means that your cameras are currently seeing interference.
