Previous page Creating the Web-server object  Bulk selecting and configuring cameras for the Web-server Next page


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

  1. Individually using the settings panel of the Web-server object.

  2. In bulk using the Add/Edit cameras dialog window.

    Note

    The procedure of bulk selection of cameras to transmit video signals via the Web-server is described in Bulk selecting and configuring cameras for the Web-server.

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. From the Number drop-down list, select the number of a required camera (3). Of you left-click in the Camera field, it is automatically filled in with the camera name with the selected number (4).

  3. From the Video steam drop-down list, select the number of the stream that you want to be displayed in the Web-server interface (5). For the information on configuring streams of a camera, see Configuration of multistream video.

  4. From the Live video drop-down list, select the source of live video that you want to be displayed in the Web-server interface (6). If you select the Server value, then live video is received from the Server on the basis of which the corresponding Camera object is created. If you select the Videogate value, then video will be received from the corresponding videogate. A camera must be configured in the corresponding Videogate (see Selecting and configuring the cameras for the Videogate module).

  5. From the Archive drop-down list, select the source of archive video that you want to be displayed in the Web-server interface (7). If you select the Server value, then archive video is received from the Server on the basis of which the corresponding Camera object is created. If you select the Videogate or Backup archive value, then archive video is received from the corresponding videogate or a backup archive. A camera must be configured in the corresponding Videogate or Backup archive.

  6. If you want to send audio from a camera to the Web server 2.0, from the Microphone drop-down list, select the Microphone object connected to the camera (8).
  7. If you want to playback the audio from the Web server 2.0, from the Speaker drop-down list, select the Speaker object connected to the camera (9).

    Attention!

    You must do steps 4 and 5 when the Web-server works together with the Web-server 2.0 module, which in turn is used to work with an iOS or Android mobile Client. For more information on the Web-server 2.0, see Configuring the Server to connect the Clients via the Web server 2.0 module.

  8. By default, the compression level of the video signal transmitted to the Video surveillance monitor of the Web-server module is the same as the compression level of the video signal before its recording to the disk or transmitting over the network (the blank value is selected in the Compression drop-down list). To change the compression level, select the required compression level from 1 to 5, where 1 is minimum compression level, and 5 is maximum level from the Compression drop-down list (10).

    Note

    The compression level parameter that corresponds to the level of video signal compression for its transmission to the Client via the Web-server module is inversely proportional to the Recording quality parameter specified in the settings of the Camera object. 
    Increasing the video compression level reduces network traffic when the Client connects to the Web-server. However, if the compression level is set, the video signal on the Server must be recompressed, which leads to a significant increase in the load on the Server CPU. You must select the compression level empirically.

  9. By default, the camera control (including arming/disarming, PTZ control, control over recording to the archive) is enabled according to the user permissions. To disable the camera control, select the Disabled value from the Control drop-down list (11). As a result, the camera control from the Web-server interface is disabled regardless of the user permissions.

  10. Repeat steps 2-5 for all required cameras.

  11. To save the changes, click the Apply button (12).

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