VMS Tab
The VMS Tab contains sengs that pertain to how the camera system interacts with your NVR / VMS.
Hold Last Frame: In the event of a momentary camera outage, the sengs here determine how long the video
image will remain frozen before changing to a black screen. This seng is very useful to mask small camera
glitches that may occur in a very heavily congested RF enviornment. Parcularly if the camera video may be
displayed in a publically viewable locaon.
Video Loss Mode: The user inputs a value in this locaon that determines how long a camera will be allowed to
remain oine, before the IP address associated with that camera is deacvated. This provides a means of allowing
your VMS/NVR system to detect that a camera has gone oine. (by producing the same condions that would be
present as if a convenonal IP camera had been powered down, or disconnected) Note: This feature will only be
acve if the check box for “Send Nocaon” is selcted in the next column.
Loss Alert: Check the box next to “Send Nocaon” for a specic camera, to enable the ability for your VMS to
detect when a camera has gone oine for an extended period of me. (See “Video Loss Mode” above)
Type: Select the desired type of video stream you woudl like to access from a parcular camera. Making a
selecon here will populate the “Connecon String” box to the right, with the proper connecon informaon
that your VMS will need in order to communicate with the cameras via RTSP. This provides an easy way to choose
your desired compression method, and to obtain the informaon that will be needed to set up your VMS to
communicate with that camera.
Connecon String: The connecon informaon that is needed in order for your VMS to communicate with this
camera, will ll in here, depending on your selecon under “Type”. This connecon informaon may be entered
into a video player such as VLC to view the video streams as well.
Copy String: Copies the connecon string to the computer clipboard, so you can easily paste it into your VMS or
video player.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to click “Save” on this page aer making any changes that you want to be preserved,
alternavely if you made changes you do not want to keep, simply click “Cancel”, and the former values for these
sengs will return.
Note: The above digram is from a (2) camera system. More or less cameras will display (scroll down) depending on your installaon.
