About Maxpro network, camera and NVR configuration

The Maxpro driver supports both legacy devices that lack a secure video stream as well as newer cameras and NVRs that support TLS secure communication.

Through the web UI you can enable and disable a Maxpro network and configure its Alarm Source Info, Monitor, Tuning Policy and Fox Video Stream Preferred properties.

For video options in Workbench, refer to the Niagara Video Framework Guide.

Secure communication with video devices

By default, a Maxpro network provides TLS secure communication. If a camera or NVR on the Maxpro network does not support TLS, you will need to disable secure communication using Workbench and change the Http Port the device uses from 443 (secure) to 80 (not secure). You can change the Http Port using the web UI.

CAUTION: Be aware that the framework cannot prevent a flooding attack or other malicious activity if you must configure your devices without secure communication.

HTML5 streaming video

The Maxpro driver does not support HTML5 streaming. To support Maxpro devices, the browser requires the Web Launcher.
