Log on to the computer in the clinic room or the clinic computer lab with your UT EID and password.

If you cannot login, have your supervisor contact the helpdesk.


Double-Click on Clinic Cameras folder on your desktop. 

Cameras can only be accessed by authorized users using specific authorized machines in the clinic.

Cameras cannot be accessed via VPN or WiFi. 

If you do not see this folder on your desktop, be sure you are using one of the PCs in the CMA 2 clinical rooms. If so, have your supervisor contact the helpdesk.

Double-Click on a camera to view it in VLC.


Gotcha: If the cameras have blue icons, right-click on one, choose open with > Choose Another App. 


Choose VLC Media Player, check "always use thie app to open .m3u files," and click OK.

Remember that you must un-mute a room's microphone for observers to be able to hear the session and for the camera to receive audio.

A green light on the microphone means the microphone is on/unmuted.


To record a session, click the record button in the toolbar below the video. 

A blue box indicates VLC is recording.

To stop the recording, click the record button again.

After you have stopped your recording, you will see the file saved in your "My Camera Recordings" folder on your Desktop.

If you prefer to see a list of files instead of icons, click View > Details.

The recorded files will be named with the date, time, and room you recorded in. 

Rename the recorded file with the first 2 letters of the subject's first and last names followed by an underscore and a date/time stamp. To rename a file, select it, then right click > rename. Edit/Type the new name and then press Enter.








A "Save As" dialog box will appear. 

You will be returned to the recording session.

Click the record button to stop the recording when ready.

Upload the file to the Box folder provided by your supervisor.

TIP: Minimize the window while the recording is occurring, if there's a chance the client could see it.

TIP: If you need to go to another web site while a session is recording, use another browser like Firefox to eliminate the possibility that going to another site would crash your session.
