The Web-server module is used for viewing the video surveillance information in a web browser using the TCP/IP communication protocol.

Web-server provides some of the functions of an HTTP server, video transfer gate and HTTP control commands.

Web-server provides the following HTTP server functionality:

  1. Access control through authorization.
  2. Working as a gate for transferring video data using HTTP/HTTPS protocol.
  3. Video monitoring and camera control through the web browser using the TCP/IP environment.
  4. Control of camera movement through the web browser using the TCP/IP environment.
  5. Setting the layout of the video frames on the screen: 1, 4, 6, 9 windows per screen.
  6. Viewing the archives stored on the videoserver for each camera through the video surveillance window.
  7. Limiting access rights for viewing the video feed from the cameras, controlling the camera movement, and viewing recordings from the videoserver.
  8. Displaying the video signal parameters (frame rate (fps) and frame size (kB) in the surveillance window.

Attention!

Web-server displays only video in MJPEG format. When video is transferred onto Web-server, the Web-server performs video stream recompression and that causes the traffic increment while transmitting video onto Web-server surveillance monitor.

The Web-server interface looks like a video surveillance monitor and is built as an HTML page. This page is called the Web-server’s home page. The surveillance monitor and control elements for the camera movement devices are driven by the Java applet.

Intellect software can be set up to require user authorization on entering the Web-server. Access to viewing and controlling the movement of the cameras through the Web-server is defined by the module settings.
