NetVu ObserVer

Request Inline Audio From Image Servers NetVu Connected devices support live and recorded audio.

With the ObserVer application it is possible to connect

to an image server and establish an audio connection in

Live or Playback mode. The standard format for the audio

connection from an image server is UDP, which means the

audio is transmitted alongside the TCP video connection.

With applications where a router will not pass UDP data it is

possible to create a single TCP stream. Enabling the inline

audio option will ‘interleave’ audio and video to create the

single TCP stream.

Play with Frame Drop? NetVu Connected devices will transmit (across the network)

recorded images in real time. Where the remote network

connection is limited, it is possible to instruct the image server

to drop playback images to accommodate the speed on the

network link. This instructs the system to maintain a realtime

display by not transmitting every image.

Embedded Data Settings This option will display the download statistics along with the

camera name, camera number, activity detectors, time and

date in the embedded data window (View->Embedded Data).

Retail or ATM applications will also display text data.

Choose Video Log Server Select the folder that will be used to store all alarm images

Note: It is important to empty this folder regularly. All recorded

alarm images received from the EDP will be saved in this

location. It is important that this folder is managed, by

ensuring there is adequate space to accommodate it, and

that the images are archived and removed regularly.

Enter IP address of EDP Use this box to enter the Event Distribution point server

address, to enable reception of alarms.

Enter Port Number of EDP This is set to the default port number, do not edit it unless it

has been changed on the EDP.

Set Action on Remote Alarm Use this box to determine what ObserVer will do when an

alarm is received. The options are Play, Pause, Fast Forward

or Rewind.

Network Timeout This is the time in seconds that the application will wait to

receive a response from an image server. If a response is

not received within this time period the timeout image will be

displayed identifying to the Operator that communication with

the requested image server has not been successful.
