Configuration
Connection
Normally, you do not need define special settings for the camera. To put the camera into operation, you will need the following information:
|
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
|
IP address of the camera |
Is assigned by DHCP server and customized with CNB tools |
|
IP port for Web access |
Default 80 |
|
User name and password for administrative access |
Default "root" / "admin" |

|

|

Camera and Streaming Settings
|
Parameter |
Default |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Camera.DisableFPS |
true |
When activated, the plugin will ignore the dynamic changes in the frame rate. This is standard behavior. |
|
Camera. DisableQuality |
false |
When activated, the plugin will ignore the dynamic changes in the compression quality. |
|
Camera. DisableResolution |
false |
When activated, the plugin will ignore the dynamic changes in the resolution. |
|
Camera.FixFPS |
0 |
Switches to operating mode with a fixed frame rate. In this mode, the images are requested by the camera with the specified frame, the decimation of the images is done on the server side. |
|
|
These three parameters are necessary because any change to one of these parameters can cause a restart of the streamer in the camera and a re-establishing of the connection between plugin and camera. This process takes several seconds! |
|
|
Camera.Type |
<empty> |
By default, the resolution of the camera type is determined at the run time. If the automatic recognition does not function or you do not wish to use higher resolutions, you can set the type of camera explicitly. Allowed values: <empty> - auto detection d1 - D1 camera (CIF + D1) sxga - SXGA camera (CIF, VGA, XGA, SXGA) all other values - VGA camera (CIF + VGA). |
|
Streaming. DisableAutoStop |
false |
By default, a camera whose pictures are not used for more than 10 seconds is switched off. This serves primarily better utilization of network bandwidth. However, the CNB cameras transfer alarm information (motion, sensor, etc.) only as long as the images are streamed. If you set this parameter to true, then the connection to the camera is permanently maintained. |
|
Streaming.Mode |
0 |
0 - JPEG, 1 - H.264 |
PTZ Functionality
|
Parameter |
Default |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
PTZ.Channel |
1 |
Channel number for PTZ control. Whether and how it is used depends on the PTZ protocol installed in the camera. |
|
PTZ.DigitalPTZ |
false |
If enabled, all pan/tilt commands are translated into the appropriate instructions for digital PTZ in the camera. |
|
PTZ.AdvancedPresets |
true |
If active, additional instructions are used for preset handling (cmd>= 100 instead of cmd 42, 43). |
If the camera is a pan/tilt camera, select the corresponding checkbox!
Do not forget to configure the corresponding licenses:
Also, add the appropriate media channels and configure the digital contacts.
