When a video analysis module is selected, the list of all cameras where this module is activated is displayed, among other things. When clicking on the line of a camera, the connection settings page of this camera appears.

Hovering over the line of a camera in the right side of the line shows the /img/ico-settings.png button. Pressing this button opens the pages of the module’s settings for this camera.

For some video analysis modules, the Automatic reports tab is available. It allows to set up regular sending or saving the reports with the data generated by the module. Moreover, this tab displays the information about each report created.
