| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Display Name/Name | text | Provides a short name for the camera. |
| Description | text | Provides a longer name for the camera. This name could include the camera’s location or special configuration properties. |
| Camera Id | number | Assigns a number to the camera. |
| Ptz Support | additional properties | Turns Pan Tilt, Zoom, Focus, Iris, Move To Preset, and Store Preset features on (true), and off (false). Your camera may or may not support these features. For each feature the camera supports, select true. For unsupported features, select false.
NOTE: If these properties are not enabled, PTZ functions do not work. This means that any widgets that use PTZ controls do not work.
|
| Control Timing | hours, minutes and seconds | Configures intervals between actions and timeout values. These settings affect how long a camera continues to respond to control communications after a control message is received. The reason for these limits is to prevent a camera from being left in a state of continual movement or adjustment (iris, focus, or zoom) in case communication with the device is lost. |
| Preferred Resolution | drop-down list | Specifies the pixel resolution of each transmitted frame. Options are: High, Medium, or Low. The actual pixel values for these three relative settings are defined in the video device.
|
| Preferred Frame Rate | drop-down list | Defines the speed of the video stream. Options are: Low, Medium, and High. You can configure each rate.
|
| Preferred Compression | drop-down list | Specifies what level of compression is used during live video streaming. The actual compression values for these relative
settings are defined in the video device. Higher compression uses less bandwidth but negatively affects image quality. Options
are: None, Low, Medium, or High |
| Preferred Video Stream Fox | drop-down list | Configures the degrees of pan and tilt and the speed at which the camera zooms in and out. Values depend on the specific camera. |
| Normal Speed | true or false |
Turns the automatic configuration of the Ptz properties on true and off false.
|
| Fast Speed | drop-down list | Defines the speed of a quick pan or tilt. |
| Use Rtsp Stream | true or false (default)
|
Turns RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) on and off. This protocol controls a camera using DVD-style controls (play, pause,
etc.)
CAUTION: RTSP does not support TLS secure communication. Using this protocol may open your video network to be hacked.
