5.2.5 Network
Default live preset
When watching live images from a camera, the image quality can be adjusted at
any time by clicking your right mouse button. The initial quality, applied the first time
you select the camera, can be specified with this parameter.
You can choose from different preset qualities, depending on the camera. If you
choose “Hard disk stream”, live pictures will follow the same quality as continuous
recordings. This way, only two streams are required.
With certain types of cameras this button becomes active. Via this button you can
open the list with possible quality presets.
The parameters you can modify here, are:
 Frames per second (fps)
 Resolution of the picture
 Quality: VBR quality (Qlow, Qnormal of Qhigh) or CBR bit rate (20 through
2048 kbps). The higher the value, the better the quality, but also the higher the
bandwidth use!
Note
For stable image quality VBR is recommended.
Only live multicast
Multicast is the simultaneous supply of information to one or more computers
through only one data stream from the source. When multiple computers poll this
one stream, multiple copies will be created, but the initial upload will remain the
same. Multicast thus ensures less data traffic over the network.
The 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255 address range has been assigned for
multicasting on the local LAN network.
Tick this option if you want to use the multicast protocol.
Multicast address
Enter the address to which the RMG video system has to send the multicast.
Note
Assign a unique multicast address to each camera.
Everyone who has subscribed to the multicast, can view the
live images on this address, using a web browser or an
XOa client.
Multicast port
Enter the multicast port through which the RMG has to send the stream.
Note
Assign a unique multicast port to each camera. The IT
Department must define the port before connecting the
RMG.
5.2.6 PTZ
Use PTZ Control
Tick this option if you have installed a PTZ camera.
Protocol
Choose the corresponding protocol for the camera you have installed.
Address
Enter the correct camera address for the camera you have installed. Check the
camera settings to know the camera address.
Auto-Home Expire
Time (sec)
This value indicates the time in seconds that has to be expired after every PTZ
action, before the PTZ camera will move back to its home position.
If the value is left to 0, the Auto-Home feature will be disabled.
