Property Value Description
Display Name/Name text Defines a short name for the Nvr.
Description text Provides an opportunity for additional information.
Ip Address IP address Defines the IP address of the Nvr.
Http Port number (defaults to 443) Defines the Internet port over which to transmit the Nvr data. 443 supports only secure communication (TLS).

RTSP does not support TLS. If your application requires RTSP, change this property to 80.

 CAUTION: Be aware that the framework cannot prevent a flooding attack or other malicious activity if you choose to configure your application without secure communication. 
Fox Video Stream Preferred 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.

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.

 NOTE: This option assumes that the controller is exposed - otherwise you could not even connect to the station. 

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.

Credentials   Sets up the user name and password required by the Nvr.
