Selecting and configuring cameras for the Web-server module

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

1. Go to the settings panel  for the Web-server object.
   

2. Select the required camera in the  dropdown list of the Cameras table (1).

   Note.

    To select all the cameras registered in the system, click the Add all button (2).

3. If video that is displayed on the Web-server home page is received from the videogate, then select the Videogate object in the Gate dropdown list (3).

   Note.

   If the Videogate has its own archive, then Web-server will get the archive from the Videogate archive, otherwise – from the main camera archive.

4. 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 (4).

5. 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 (5).

   Attention!

   Steps 4 and 5 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 for the clients connection via the Web-server 2.0 module

6. Repeat steps 2-3 for all required cameras.
   
   

   Note.

   To clear the Cameras table click the Clear button (6).
7. By default, the compression level of video signal sent to the Web-server surveillance monitor is the same as it was before the signal was recorded to disk and transferred over the network (the As in camera settings checkbox is set) (7).

8. To change the compression level of video signal, set the As in camera setttings checkbox unchecked and then set the Compression slider into the position corresponding to the required compression level (8).The Min position of the slider corresponds to minimal compression level  of video signal, the Max position - to maximum one.

   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. To save the changes, click the Apply button (9).

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