The AADHAAR Camera VDM Configuration Utility is configured to run on system


startup, and runs continuously. It can be invoked from the System Tray as shown below
using the “Open” menu option and can be closed using the “Exit” menu option.

The utility continuously monitors the camera configuration and notifies the operator, as
shown below, to configure the camera correctly under the following two conditions:
1. If there are multiple cameras connected to the machine, and the camera to be used
by the VDM is not configured.
2. If a camera was selected and the same is not connected to the machine.

The user can invoke the utility in three ways:


1. Clicking on any notification shown
2. Double-clicking the icon in the system tray
3. Choosing the ”Open” option as mentioned above

Version 1.1 Camera VDM Configuration Utility

The utility has a drop-down which lists all camera devices connected to the machine.
The user can choose the camera to be used by the Enrolment Client, and save and
restart the Camera VDM using the “Save and Restart VDM” button. The list of devices
connected can be refreshed using the Refresh button next to the drop down.

In addition, the utility also provides an option to specify the port at which Device
Manager is running. This will be needed only if the Device Manager is running on a port
apart from the default set of ports.
