## Add Camera

* When you click the "**Add**" button, a new window will open where you can enter the information for the new camera.

1. #### Select from Library
   * If you want to add a camera that is already known in the system, you can click the "**Select from Library**" button. Otherwise, you can enter the data manually..
2. #### Camera Name
   * Give the camera a unique name that describes its location or function. For example, "**Front Door Camera**" or "**Office Surveillance**".
3. **URL Type**

   Select the **URL type** for the camera:

   * **Snapshot:** For a still image.
   * **MJPEG** or **RTSP** can also be selected depending on the camera type, if supported.
4. #### Refresh Rate (for Snapshots)
   * Set the **refresh rate** in milliseconds. This determines how often the camera's image is updated. The range is between 50 and 60,000 milliseconds.
5. **URL**
   * Insert the URL for the camera stream or for the snapshot. The format for a snapshot must be in static image format as **.jpeg** or **.png**. If a username and password are required, use the following format: [http://username:password@host:port/path/to/file](https://documentation.nomos-system.com/nomos-system/integrator-en/http:/username:password@host:port/path/to/file)
6. **Screensaver**
   * Option to display the camera in screen saver mode.
7. **Room Assignment**

   * Assign the camera to a specific room to make organization and management easier.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.nomos-system.com/nomos-system/integrator-en/cameras.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
