Introduction
ClareVision’s newest line of IP CCTV cameras have been tested and certified for
integration with the ClareHome system. These cameras include the Proline
motorized varifocal (P-series), Mainline varifocal (M-series), and Affordable
fixed-lens cameras (B-series).
The ClareVision cameras integrate with the ClareHome system in a way similar
to other integrations. All camera integrations share a common UI, so that the
user experience is consistent.
Camera settings can be controlled via events. Use Fusion’s Scenes and Rules to
automate the actions your customers want. The following figure shows the
ClareVision camera display docked in the ClareHome UI.
