Real-time video surveillance via the Web-Client

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 playback of the following video formats: MJPEG, H.264, H.265. Any other formats are re-coded to MJPEG on the Server. 

You can playback a video in the Web-Client with 2 players: JPEG and MP4. If your browser supports MP4 format, the MP4 player is used. Otherwise, your videos will be played back via the JPEG player.

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

1. Click the parameters of the current stream.
   

2. Select a stream to be displayed.
