Deployment Steps:
Visit the official Ant Media Server website to download the latest CamOS camera streaming software war file.
Use your licensed Ant Media Server application to log in through the management panel.
Inside Ant Media Server, click on the “New Application” button.
Click "Choose File" and upload the latest CamOS war file.
After uploading (CamOS.war), label the application as “CamOS.”
Click “Create,” and the new application will be ready to use on your Ant Media Server.
Access the CamOS management app settings panel to reconfigure the default video recording and S3 recording settings.
