EC20 Panopto integration

The EC20 can register with Panopto as a Remote Recorder, using a registration key generated in Panopto and applied on the camera.

You will first need to generate a Panopto Remote Recorder registration key.

Once you have a registration key, you will need to apply that key to your EC20.

Once your EC20 is registered as a Panopto Remote Recorder you can monitor events through its web interface.

Panopto administrators can monitor the live audio captured by the EC20 while it is recording and streaming, which makes it easier to confirm that the camera's audio input is working during an event.

Important Considerations:

When viewing an EC20 in Panopto's Remote Recorders interface the Machine IP Address field is blank. This is a known issue with the current Panopto integration.

When factory resetting the unit the 'Factory Default' button does not clear the Panopto settings. The current recommendation is to clear the Panopto settings on the Panopto page, and then use the 'Factory Default' button to clear the other settings.

Currently, the EC20 only supports the following audio bitrates, 96kbps and 128kbps.
