Camera settings
IRIS+ offers a variety of detections suitable for different types of cameras.
Read below to learn which settings best suit certain camera types:
Configuring a camera for event generation
A camera (or sensor) in IRIS+ Enterprise is typically configured to customize how events are generated and shown in the Monitor module and/or through an integration endpoint connected to an external ingress source.

Anonymization settings
IRIS+ today offers anonymization support for certain types of cameras:
Camera type | Anonymization setting |
|---|---|
CCD | Yes for both grayscale and color |
Fisheye | No |
Thermal | No |
PTZ | No |
Additionally, certain features and rules will perform differently if anonymization is on
Feature or rule | Recommendation |
|---|---|
Investigation feature | Best to not turn on anonymization if investigation is enabled |
Face recognition | Best to not turn on anonymization if face recognition is enabled |
GPU-based rules | Best to not turn on anonymization for cameras using these particular rules |
Full-frame recording
Full-frame recording controls whether IRIS+ stores the full recorded video stream for a camera on the Edge device, rather than only event metadata and crops.
Full-frame recording is a prerequisite for video playback in the Investigate and Case views. When it is enabled, selecting a search or investigation result plays back the corresponding recorded footage. When it is disabled, investigation results are still returned, but no video clip is available to play.
To enable full-frame recording:
- Select the camera in the tree view.
- Open the camera's settings.
- Enable the Full-frame recording option.
Considerations:
- Full-frame recording increases storage usage on the Edge device. Plan retention and storage capacity accordingly.
- Enable it on cameras you intend to use for investigations or forensic search.
