No video path configuring new camera BI5

[iseeker]

Wow. So many settings. Going to take a while to learn BI.
​

First stumble: No video path when configuring new camera on BI5.

Installed fine; can see live view. But I admit I know very little on BI5 yet. Not even sure how to point it to record on my D: drive. Or what settings I should control in the web interface of the camera vs BI5. Or if I should use generic/onvif to configure or set my 5231 specifically. Working way through manual.

Baby steps, have you used the find/inspect button?
Help file is very detailed.

@looney2ns - yes, used the find/inspect button. Deleted camera and readded (still with username and pw filled out correctly). And I had it wrong: 2231 does not pick up the path; the 5231 did.

No video path when configuring new camera on BI5. Doesn't seem to be affecting anything, so what is the path for? How would I enter manually?
