To view a video image, you should select either a camera on the panel (see Searching for video cameras in the Web-Client), or one of the available layouts (see Web-Client's GUI).

The Web-Client supports video playback in the following video formats: MJPEG, H.264, H.265. All other formats are transcoded to MJPEG on the Server. 

Attention!

H.265 video playback is possible in the following browsers: Safari, Microsoft Edge with HEVC video extension installed, Google Chrome version 107 and higher, if:

  • hardware acceleration is enabled in the browser settings;
  • the video card has hardware support for the H.265 codec.

You can playback a video in the Web-Client with two players: JPEG and MP4. If your browser supports the MP4 format, the MP4 player is used. Otherwise, your videos will be played back with the JPEG player.

Attention!

If your layout contains several video cameras, only the reference frames may be displayed in the H.264 format video cameras, depending on the settings (see Web-Client Configuration). If you select a specific camera, all frames will be displayed.

In the MJPEG video format each frame is displayed.

To select a displayed stream in the Web-Сlient manually (see The Video Camera Object), do the following:

  1. Click the parameters of the current stream.

  2. Select a stream to be displayed.

    Description

    Auto (GreenStream, default)

    The camera has two video streams: high quality video stream and low quality video stream. If the size of the cell where the video image from the camera is displayed is close to the low quality resolution with a 10% height or width margin, the video image will be displayed using the low quality stream. In other cases, the high quality video stream will be displayed.

    High quality

    A high quality video stream is used in the video surveillance window (see The Video Camera Object).

    Low quality

    A low-quality video stream is used in the video surveillance window (see The Video Camera Object). When you enlarge the surveillance window, the video stream switches to a high quality video stream.

Note

A selected video stream isn't saved when you change the layout.

Click the button to open the window in full screen or double click the video image. To exit the full screen mode, click the button again, or press the Esc key.
