One can select and configure cameras for displaying on the Web-server home page in two ways:

  1. Individually. The settings panel of the Web-server object is used.

  2. In bulk. The Add/Edit cameras dialog box is used.

    Note.

    Information on how to bulk select cameras in order to stream video via Web-server is given in Bulk selecting and configuring cameras for Web-server section.

To select cameras for displaying on the Web-server home page, do the following:

  1. Go to the List of cameras tab on the settings panel of the Web-server object (1).

    Note.

    To select all cameras created in the system use the Add all button (2).

  2. In the Number dropdown list select the number of a required camera (3). Being left-clicked the Camera field is automatically filled in with the camera name with the selected number (4).

    Note.

     To select all the cameras registered in the system, click the Add all button.

  3. In the Video steam dropdown list select the number of the stream that is to displayed in the Web-server interface (5). Information on how to configure video streams is given in the Configuration of multistream video section.

  4. In the Live video dropdown list select the source of live video to be displayed in the Web-server interface (6). If the Server value is selected, then live video is received from the Server on which the corresponding Camera object is created.

    If the Videogate value is selected, then video will be received from the corresponding videogate. A camera is to be configured in the corresponding Videogate – see the Selecting and configuring the cameras for the Videogate module section.

    If the Server value is selected, then archive footage is received from the Server on which the corresponding Camera object is created. If the Videogate or Backup archive value is selected, then archive footage is received from the videogate or backup archive. A camera is to be configured in the corresponding Videogate or Backup archive.

  5. In the Archive dropdown list select the the source of archive footage to be displayed in the Web-server interface (7). 

  6. Select the Microphone object associated with the camera from the Microphone drop-down list if a sound came from the camera is to be passed over the Web-server 2.0 (8).

  7. Select the Speaker object associated with the camera from the Speaker drop-down list if a sound came from the Web-server 2.0 is to be played (9).

    Attention!

    Steps 6 and 7 are to be executed only in case if the Web-server runs together with the Web-server 2.0, which, in its turn, is used to work with the iOS-based mobile client. For more information on the Web server 2.0, see section Configuring the Server to connect the Clients via the Web-server 2.0 module

  8. By default the compression ratio of video transmitted to the Surveillance monitor through the Web-Server is the same as the compression ratio of video before its recording to the disk or transmitting (the blank value is selected in the Compression dropdown list). To change the compression ratio, select the required compression (1-5 where 1 is minimum compression ratio, and 5 is maximum) ratio in the Compression dropdown list (10).

    Note.

     The compression level parameter for the signal transmission to remote workstations via the Web-server is inverse to the Recording quality parameter of the Camera object.
    Increase of video signal’s compression level  decreases the network traffic  while connecting the Client to the Web-server. But video signal on the Server has to be recompressed in case of setting the compression level that results in greater load on Server’s central processor. The compression level is selected empirically.
  9. By default the camera control (arming/disarming, PTZ control, control over recording to the archive) in accordance with user rights is enabled. To disable the camera control, select the Disabled value in the Control dropdown list (11). As a result the camera control in the Web-server interface is disabled regardless of the user rights.

  10. Repeat steps 2-9 for all required cameras.

    Note.

    To clear the Cameras table click the Clear button.
  11. To save the changes, click the Apply button (12).

Cameras for displaying on the Web-server home page are now selected.
