limit the number of participants to 12 people.
Environmental Color Limitations

To retrieve logs from an EagleEye Cube USB camera that’s attached to a codec,
you must disconnect the camera from the codec and reconnect it to a PC running

transition, attach a cable that supports PoE+ to the camera before you
disconnect the USB cable from the codec.
