Maxpro New and Edit camera windows
Figure 227. Maxpro Edit and New camera window properties
You open this window from the main menu by clicking , double-clicking the Maxpro Network, clicking the NVRs tab, double-clicking a row in the NVR Manager table, followed by clicking
the New button (
) or selecting an existing camera and clicking the Edit button (
).
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Display Name/Name | text | Provides a short name for the camera. |
| Description (camera) | text |
Provides additional information, which could include the camera’s geographical location or other unique information.
|
| Camera Id (Milestone and Maxpro) | domain or IP address | |
| Ptz Support (general) | additional properties, including Pan Tilt, Zoom, Focus, Iris, Move to Preset, Store Presettrue or false (default)
|
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.
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, defaults to High |
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, defaults to Low |
Defines the speed of the video stream. Options are:
Low, Medium, and High. You can configure each rate.
|
| Preferred Compression | drop-down list, defaults to Medium |
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: |
| Preferred Video Stream Fox | drop-down list (for a network component defaults to False and for a child component defaults to Inherit)
|
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.
NOTE: This option assumes that the controller is exposed - otherwise you could not even connect to the station.
In all cases, the client-side computer expends some of its CPU utilization to render the video on the screen. |
| Normal Speed | true or false |
Turns the automatic configuration of the Ptz properties on
true and off false.
|
| Fast Speed | number between zero (0) and 15 (defaults to 10) |
Defines the speed of a camera’s quick pan or tilt.
|
| Use Rtsp Stream (general) | 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.
