To open the properties window for a Camera object, see the Editing objects properties in the Template Editor section.

As a result the following window opens.

To edit the properties of the Camera object, do the following:

1. From the Camera drop-down list select the camera object from which displaying of video signal to the created field will be performed.
2. From the Compression drop-down list select the video stream compression level:
   Stream from camera – the video from the camera is transmitted to the client without any changes.
   • Frames (no compress) – the video from the camera is unpacked and the uncompressed stream is transmitted to the client.

   • Frames (compression 1) to Frames (max compression) – the video from the camera is unpacked, compressed in MJPEG or MWavelet and transmitted to the client.

     Using the video stream compression mechanism places a heavy load on the video server processor, especially when using several Event manager objects. Therefore, it is recommended to use the Stream from camera mode and use a stream of a lower resolution and quality (see the stream selection setting below).

     
     

3. From the Dispaly mode drop-down list select the display mode:

   • Stream – displays the video stream in real time.

   • Archive – displays the video archive, paused at the time of the event.

     If you choose the Archive display mode, make sure that the video archive is recorded.

     
     

     

4. From the Stream drop-down list select the required video stream.
   

   To enable the video stream selection, it is necessary to: Configure 2 streams in the camera web interface. Select the necessary streams in the camera settings in Axxon PSIM (see Configuration of multistream video), and make sure that the use of device settings is enabled (see Configuring video acquisition from IP devices).

   
   

Editing of the Camera object properties is complete.
