The settings panel of the Videogate object

The settings panel of the Videogate system object is shown in the figure.

The table describes the setting parameters of the Videogate system object.

№	Parameter	Method for setting the parameter value	Parameter description	Representation	Default value	Value range
1	Identification number*	Automatically	Displays the identification number of the Videogate system object	Sequence of numbers	NA	From 1 to 2147483647. Depends on the number of the Videogate objects in the video surveillance system with the distributed architecture
2	Name*	Enter the value in the field	Sets the name of the Videogate object in the video surveillance system with the distributed architecture	Latin, Cyrillic, and service characters	Videogate	A line containing a sequence of any characters (letters, digits, service characters except > and < characters), case-insensitive. Number of characters—from 1 to 60
3	Disable	Set the checkbox	Disables the Videogate object in the video surveillance system with the distributed architecture	Boolean type	Clear	Set—the Videogate object is disabled and isn't used Clear—the Videogate object is enabled and used
4	Computer	Select the value from the list	Sets the Computer parent object for the given Videogate object	Name of the Computer objects registered in the system	Name of the Computer parent object	Depends on the number of the Computer objects in the system
5	All	Click the button	Selects all video cameras registered in the system for transmitting the video signals through the Videogate	NA	NA	NA
6	Range	Click the button	Gives the access to the complex selection of cameras for transmitting video signals through the Videogate	NA	NA	NA
The Camera* table
7	Number	Select the value from the list	Sets the number of the camera for transmitting video signals through the Videogate	Sequence of numbers	NA	Depends on the number of cameras registered in the system
8	Name	Select the value from the list	Sets the name of the camera for transmitting video signals through the Videogate	Names of the cameras registered in the system	NA	Depends on the number of cameras registered in the system
9	Stream for archive	Select the value from the list	Sets the video stream to record the archive of the Videogate module	Names of streams transmitted by the server	NA	Depends on the number of the streams configured on the server
10	Compression	Select the value from the list	Sets the level of video signal compression for transmitting through the Videogate. If the value is set, the additional consumption of the server resources occurs	Sequence of numbers	NA	In order of increasing the compression level from 0 to 5. 0—no compression 5—maximum compression
11	Compressor	Select the value from the list	Sets the algorithm to compress the video stream, used to recompress the video signal when transmitting through the Videogate. If the compressor is specified, you should select the value in the Compression drop-down list	List of available algorithms	NA	MJPEG, Motion Wavelet 3.5, MPEG4. If you select compression and don't select Compressor, the Motion Wavelet algorithm is used
12	fps	Enter the value in the field	Sets the video signal frame rate for transmitting through the Videogate	Sequence of numbers	NA	No less than 0.01, but no more than the rate of the video signal digitized by the video capture card. For detailed information about determining the current video signal frame rates, see Frame rate settings
13	Critical rate	Enter the value in the field	Sets the minimum permissible rate of the video signal frame's arrival in the Videogate to control the transmission of the video signal through the local network	Sequence of numbers	NA	No more than the frame rate of the video signal that is transmitted to the Videogate
14	Gate	Select the value from the list	Sets the Videogate object from which the video signal from the selected camera must be transmitted to the given Videogate. Attention! The selected Videogate object must differ from the configured one, otherwise there will be no video transmission via the Videogate	Names of the Videogate objects registered in the system	NA	Depends on the number of the Videogate objects registered in the system
15	Backup archive	Select the value from the list	Sets the Backup archive object, from which the archive from the selected camera must be transmitted to the given Videogate	Names of the Backup archive objects registered in the system	NA	Depends on the number of the Backup archive objects registered in the system
16	Store no more than (hours)	Enter the value in the field	Sets the time period in hours, after which it is necessary to delete the recordings of the corresponding camera from the Videogate	Sequence of numbers	NA	>0
