5 | The Cameras table | |||||
Added | Set the checkbox | Specifies the cameras, the video signals from which must be transmitted to remote workstations | Boolean type | Clear | Set—the video stream can be viewed at a remote workstation Clear—the video stream cannot be viewed at a remote workstation | |
Number | Automatically | Displays the identification number of the Camera object in the system | Identification number of the Camera object registered in the system | NA | Depends on the number of the Camera object registered in the system | |
Name | Automatically | Specifies the name of the Camera object in the video surveillance system | Name of the Camera object registered in the system | NA | Depends on the number of the Camera object registered in the system | |
Gate | Select the value from the list | Specifies the Videogate through which video is received from the camera | Names of the Videogate objects registered in the system | NA | Depends on the number of the Videogate objects registered in the system | |
Port | Enter the value into the field | Specifies the port through which the video signal is transmitted Note. This column is available only if you set the Multicast checkbox. Specified ports are not addressed directly. Use RTSP port to get video from all cameras in the Multicast mode | Natural number series | NA | Any available unused port numbers. The number of ports is determined by the system administrator | |
| Backup archive | Select the value from the list | Specifies the Backup archive from which the archive is received for the camera | Names of the Backup archive objects registered in the system | NA | Depends on the number of the Backup archive objects registered in the system | |
| 6 | Unicast | Set the checkbox | Enables the "unicast" transmission mode | Boolean type | Set | Set—the video is transmitted in the "unicast" mode Clear—the video isn't transmitted in the "unicast" mode |
7 | RTSP port | Enter the value into the field | Specifies the port through which the video signal is transmitted | Natural number series | 554 | Any available unused port numbers. The number of ports is specified by the system administrator |
