To view a video, you have to select either a camera from a panel, or one of available layouts (see Searching for video cameras in the web client).  

The Web Client supports playback of the following video formats:  MJPEG, H.264, H.265. Any other formats are re-coded to MJPEG by the Server. 

Attention!

H.265 playback is possible only in the Edge browser with hardware acceleration.

You can play back a video in the web client with any of the 2 players: jpeg and mp4. If your browser supports mp4 format, the mp4 player is used. Otherwise, your videos will be played back via the jpeg player.

Attention!

If your layout contains several camera windows, only I-frames (key frames) may be displayed in H.264 streams, depending on settings (see Web Client Configuration). For the selected camera, each frame is displayed.

In MPEG videos, each frame is displayed.


Note

When you use Internet Explorer to toggle frames reception mode between 'I-frames only' and 'each frame' in the camera window, short video dropouts may occur.  In such a case, other browsers will show the most recent I-frame.

 If your camera is capable of multi-streaming, the lowest resolution stream will be displayed by default.

To select a stream in the web client, do as follows:

  1. Click the parameters of the current stream.

  2. Select a stream to be displayed.

    Note

    Video stream settings are not memorized while switching between layouts.

Click or double click the image for full screen view. To exit full screen mode, click again the button, or press Esc.
