Creates an object name for display purposes, which may differ from the actual object name.

Provides additional information, which could include the camera’s geographical location or other unique information.

Defines the port, when using the web UI, over which to transmit the camera’s video signal. 443 supports only secure communication between the camera and the station.

For a camera that does not support TLS secure communication, that is, if Use Rtsp Stream is true or if you are using the HTTP protocol (Use Tls is false and Use Rtsp Stream is false), change this property to 80.

If using fox streaming, which uses the station to render the video stream, this port should be different from the station’s fox port. If you are not using fox streaming, this port should be the same as the station’s fox port.

Turns Pan Tilt, Zoom, Focus, Iris, Move To Preset, and Store Preset features on (true or enabled check box), and off (false or empty check box). Your camera may or may not support these features.

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.

Defines the speed of the video stream. Options are: Low, Medium, and High. You can configure each rate.

Specifies a level of compression for use during live video streaming. The video device defines the actual compression values for these relative settings.

Compression reduces bandwidth improving video transmission. Compression relates to resolution. The higher the compression, the lower the bandwidth requirements. However, over-compression may degrade video images.

The video device defines the actual compression values for these relative levels. Higher compression uses less bandwidth but negatively affects image quality.

The underlying video driver interprets these options: None, Low, Medium, or High

For a network component, selects (true) or declines (false) the use of Fox streaming.

For a child component (DVR, NVR or camera), selects or declines the use of Fox streaming at the child component level.

Inherit sets this property to the value set for its parent component (the DVR, NVR or network component).

Yes sends the video stream from the video camera to the station (controller) and then forwards it to the Workbench interface through the standard Fox/Foxs connection. This overcomes fire wall issues in the event that the video surveillance system is not exposed to the outside world on its network.

No sends the video stream directly from the video camera to the interface. Using this setting allows you to set the Preferred Resolution and Frame Rate to High without impacting CPU usage. In essence, this removes the station from the equation.

In all cases, the client-side computer expends some of its CPU utilization to render the video on the screen.

Define the Username and Password required to access the camera.

Identifies the standard port (not secure) used to communicate the camera feed over the Internet.

If using fox streaming to have the station render the video stream, this port should be different from the station’s fox port. If you are not using fox streaming, this port should be the same as the station’s fox port.

Identifies the secure port used to communicate the camera feed over the Internet.

If using fox streaming, which uses the station to render the video stream, this port should be different from the station’s fox port. If you are not using fox streaming, this port should be the same as the station’s fox port.

Defines the protocol to use when fetching the authentication token from the camera. This property applies only when authentication uses the token mechanism.

true fetches the token from the camera using a secure connection (https) when a user logs in to the station. This is the preferred (and default) option.

false fetches the token from the camera using a connection that is not secure (http).

Selects an authentication scheme for verifying the authenticity of the camera.

Token retrieves a small piece of code called a token from the camera, which the system uses with digest authentication to validate the camera as a video streaming server.

Some cameras, such as Axis cameras, whose firmware version is below 7.10, do not support tokens. In this case, use Browser or Token Or Browser authentication.

Browser pops up an authentication window for entering the camera’s Username and Password. Once a user enters these credentials, they remain in the browser cache until cache is cleared.

Token Or Browser attempts token authentication. If token authentication works, streaming video begins. If not, the browser pops up the window for entering the camera’s credentials.
