American Dynamics 8 Channel IP Encoder (M&H) • Changing streaming parameters like bit-rate, quality, frame-rate, key frame interval and others would require the stream to be restarted, hence a small glitch in play out might be observed during this time. • Focus and Iris is not supported by thin Client Web GUI, because 8 Channel Encoder supports only relative value change and does not support absolute change of values. However it is supported in Pattern.
American Dynamics Fixed IP Camera Supported Firmware • v1.57 or later Supported Key Functions • Video Streaming: Single • Video Codec: MJPEG and MPEG-4 • Audio Streaming: Model specific, G.
American Dynamics Fixed IP Camera Limitations • The camera will reboot when changing codec (audio or video), resolution, frame rate,key frame interval, video quality, audio volume, enable audio / audio in and any other audio / video properties. Reboots will take about 20 to 30 seconds and 1 minute to be back online. • Single HTTP stream to send audio/video interleaved MPEG4 video. • When camera is rebooted or codec is changed, adjusts focus under grey and will take 30 seconds to go to color.
American Dynamics Fixed Camera (illustra 400 series) Supported Firmware • v2.20 or later Supported Key Functions • Video Streaming – Single, Dual • Video codec – H.264 and MJPEG • Audio Streaming – G.711 ulaw and G.726, single stream only • Dry Contact Events – Single.
American Dynamics Fixed Camera (illustra 400 series) Limitations • The camera will reboot when changing codec (audio or video), resolution, frame rate, key frame interval, video quality, audio volume, enable audio / audioin and any other audio / video properties. The reboots will take about 20 to 30 seconds. • All audio and video streams will be lost when the camera reboots. All audio and video streams will then need to be re-established.
American Dynamics Fixed Camera (illustra 210, illustra 600 and illustra 610 Domes) Supported Key Functions • Video Streaming • Audio Streaming – Supports G711mulaw stream (600/610/210). illustra 610LT does not support audio. • Dry Contact Events – Single camera is pulled for Dry Contact at 100ms interval (600/610/210). illustra 610LT does not support dry contact events.
American Dynamics Fixed Camera (illustra 210, illustra 600 and illustra 610 Domes) rtsp://camera_ip:7781/secondarystream (handler uses this). • The rtsp A/V mixed stream URL is rtsp://camera_ip:7778/primarystream rtsp://camera_ip:7780/secondarystream. • The end user can modify the port numbers via camera webpage.
American Dynamics Fixed Camera (illustra 210, illustra 600 and illustra 610 Domes) • NVR only supports audio in 8KHz. • illustra 600, add 720p and 1080p resolution for MJPEG stream, change the codec or resolution of stream 1 will report an error. illustra 600 camera only supports one 720P/1080P stream. If there is one 720P/1080P stream on the NVR, it is impossible to set another. Please refer to the camera limitation.
American Dynamics Fixed Camera (illustra 210, illustra 600 and illustra 610 Domes) •illustra 210 = H264, Maximum available Fps, D1 •illustra 600 = H264, Maximum available Fps , 1280X720 •illustra 610 = H264, Maximum available Fps , 1920X1080 Special Points • Some properties are normalized to a percentage (1-100), but the real value in camera is a range from -127 to 128. This results in the values in the NVR not covering all values in the camera.
American Dynamics Fixed Camera (illustra 600, 610 and 600LT Series Box and Bullets) Supported Firmware • v1.0.16 or later Supported Key Functions • Video Streaming (MJPEG, H.
American Dynamics Fixed Camera (illustra 600, 610 and 600LT Series Box and Bullets) rtsp://camera_ip/video2.sdp • The rtsp A/V mixed stream URL is: rtsp://camera_ip/live1.sdp or rtsp://camera_ip/live2.sdp Required Network Ports • Port 80 is for HTTP • Port 554 is for RTP/RTSP Default Username & Password • Username: admin • Password: admin Limitations • When a factory defaulted camera is added to an NVR, the default settings are: H.264, 7 FPS, CIF.
American Dynamics Fixed Camera (illustra 600, 610 and 600LT Series Box and Bullets) steams configuration on the camera. The camera only identifies the streams by the stream codec (ignoring FPS and resolution). In some instances when NVR streams are both configured with the same codec, changing one of the streams will not necessarily change the parameters on the specified stream. • It is recommended to configure the camera to the cameras FPS limitations.
American Dynamics Fixed Camera (illustra 600, 610 and 600LT Series Box and Bullets) • It may take 2 minutes when changing other FPS to 3 FPS. The reason for this is a mismatched GOP and frame rate will cause a longer re-connection time due to waiting for another frame. GOP size is much larger than Frame Rate, it may take a longer time for video to restart. • Some properties are normalized to a percentage (1-100), but the real value in camera is a range from 0 to 255.
American Dynamics IP SpeedDome Serial Number NVR will use the camera’s MAC address as the camera serial number. Supported Key Functions • Video Streaming 4 max • Video Codec – • MJPEG, MPEG4 and H.264 • Audio Streaming – Audio codecs are AAC, G.711 ulaw and G.711 alaw. No PCM audio stream • Mechanical Pan and Tilt and Optical Zoom • Dry Contact Events – Up to 4 dry contact events are support. The camera is polled for dry contact event at 30s interval.
American Dynamics IP SpeedDome Default Username & Password • User name: admin • Password:admin Bandwidth Efficiency Bandwidth efficiency has been improved for American Dynamics IP SpeedDome cameras running firmware version 2.0 or later.

ACTi Corporation Default Username & Password • Username: admin • Password: 123456 Supported Resolution All resolutions less than or equal to 1280x720 are dynamically acquired by the camera. Limitations • Resolutions larger than 720p are unsupported due to an incompatible algorithm used by the camera when the stream's resolution is larger than 720p.
ACTi Corporation • The ACTi generic camera driver will not support the following features: • Image settings: •Lens day/night mode •Brightness •Contrast •Sharpness • H.264 stream • Resolutions larger than 720p are unsupported. Should a camera support a higher resolution, this will not be available via NVR. Known Issues • The TCM3511 has an issue with Reverse playback in the VEClient. The user will experience a stutter with the H.264 stream due to the first key frame being received every second.
ACTi Corporation Resolution: Power Cycle first. If problem persists, carry out hardware reset. • Sometimes the camera’s web GUI will report “Error: Streaming Engine is not running”, when the issue happens there is no stream given out. The camera can be restored after a manual reboot. Resolution: Hardware reset • Sometimes modifying contrast or saturation will cause the camera to crash, when this happens, the user may receive the following message on the camera’s web GUI: “Please contact your provider.
Arecont Vision Supported Key Functions • The Arecont Vision AV8xxx employs four, two-megapixel cameras in 180˚ or • 360˚ panoramic views. Models are available in a variety of options including H.264 • or MJPEG video formats, Day/Night, Heater/Blower, recessed or IP66 housings. • Using the American Dynamics victor unified client, operators can view • each image independently or combination of them in a multi camera view in victor. • Video Streaming – Single and Dual • Video Codec – MJPEG and H.
Arecont Vision Limitations • The AV8xxx will be viewed with Victor Client.

Supported Key Functions • Video Streaming – Single and Dual • Audio Streaming – Audio codec supported depends on the camera. • PTZ – Applies to cameras that have mechanical Pan and Tilt and Optical Zoom. • Dry Contact Events • Query Device • Reboot Device Video/Audio Stream Feature • For VAPIX 3 cameras, all MJPEG, MPEG-4 and H.264 streams can have different frame rates, resolution and quality.
Axis Communications • Q1755 without PT head installed will still show up as a PTZ camera in NVR. However, none of the PTZ functions will work. This limitation could apply to all cameras that has built-in PT/PTZ head support. • Older versions of the AXIS handler may have set the “exposure”, “input gain”, “wdr” and other parameters on some AXIS cameras to invalid values. • The camera’s web interface can be used to determine whether the camera parameters have been set to invalid values.
Axis Communications recorded playback by Victor Client, a blank image appears for a very short period at the point in time where the audio codec was changed. • If the customer needs to change the active state of a dry contact input then it should be changed before adding a corresponding alarm sensor otherwise an alarm/alert may be caused as a result of changing the active state. • For H.264 video streams, the NVR web client does not allow the H.264 video quality and H.
Axis Communications • The Sequence portion of the NVR web client PTZ page may appear or disappear when the page is refreshed. • If the MJPEG quality level is set to 100 at high resolutions ( 1920x1200 for example ) then live viewing problems ( high latency, momentary loss of video, etc) may be observed in a Victor Client surveillance screen if that workstation is also trying to live view using the NVR web client.

Bosch Supported Resolutions Model Max Resolution (Default Value) Resolution List in NVR 4.
Bosch Limitations • Due to a camera limitation, the handler can only support one MJPEG stream. If a second MJPEG stream is enabled, the NVR will produce an error message. • Bosch camera supports two H264 streams. Handler default stream is H264 stream1. Due to camera limitations, H264 stream 2 resolution depends on H264 stream1 resolution. Note H264 stream 1 and stream 2 refer to H264 streams from the camera corresponding with the camera encoder profile1 and profile 2, not streams 1 and 2 on the NVR.
Bosch • When setting up Dry Contacts on NBN-921-P IVA serials and NBN-498 serials, it is necessary to activate the Alarm Inputs on the camera GUI first. Users must change the Active dropdown list value from 'None' to 'N.O.' or 'N.C.' on the camera, as 'None' means disabled and this does not automatically change when Dry Contacts are activated on the NVR.
Bosch resolution value on Stream 2. • Due to the NVR web client known issue, when setting the resolution for the second H264 stream, set it on the advance edit page. This is due to the fact it is a copy setting of H264 stream 1 on camera list page with editing status, and real available resolution may not be included in the copy of the resolution list.

Samsung Default Ports • Port 80 for HTTP • Port 554 for RTSP Default Username & Password Username: admin Password: 4321 Limitations • The following models have been tested and confirmed with Samsung SNV-5010, SNZ-5200, SND-3080, SND-5080, SND-7080, SNP-3120, SNP-3371/3302(b), SNP-5200, SPE-400. All other models listed have been confirmed with Samsung to work as designed under the Samsung API but have not been tested by American Dynamics. There may be potential risks when using these non-tested models.
Samsung • For SPE-400, each Samsung encoder's channel has an independent IP. To add an encoder to the NVR, the user should add every channel one by one. Only the first channel supports audio. Each channel supports 1 AlarmIn. • Some of the camera information (e.g. FPS ranges) provided by Samsung Support differs from the camera's actual capabilities as found on the Web Gui. The Handler uses API results for these details.
Samsung zero and start from 1024x768. Then if handler wants to set 1280x720 to camera, the index is '2'. • Handler uses TYPE2 (Samsung different cameras use different APIs, defined in their formal datasheet, named TYPE1 and TYPE2, TYPE2 is used by most cameras) command to communicate with generic camera. • Since most on-sale cameras do not support bitrate feature, generic camera will not support it. • Generic camera does not support PTZ, lens and image settings.
Samsung • If FPS is too low, RTSP connects to camera may timeout and then the NVR will have no video. The following cameras were found to have this issue: • For SNV-5010 and SND-7080, the MJPEG video will not display when the user sets fps to 1 and resolution to less than 1280*720. • For SND-3002 and SND-5080, the MPEG4 video will not display when the user sets FPS to <=5. • Video and audio are sometimes out of sync on Instant Playback and Search & Retrieve in victor.

SONY Supported Key Functions • Video Streaming – Single and Dual • Video Codec – MJPEG, MPEG4 and H.264 • Audio Streaming • Audio codec supported depends on camera functionality • PTZ – applies to cameras with mechanical pan, tilt and optical zoom • Dry contact events – HTTP server push functionality is available for increase in efficiency and speed of obtaining dry contact events.
SONY • Port 554 is for RTSP Default Username & Password • Username: admin • Password: admin Limitations • SONY 5th generation cameras set with motion-detection using MJPEG or MPEG4 will present the limitation that if H.264 has been used for the primary stream, it cannot be used for the secondary. Video Motion Detection is only available on MJPEG video stream.
SONY resolution might not be able to handle the maximum frame-rate even in singlestream use (MPEG4 is less intensive and may handle the maximum frame-rate). • For a secondary stream, the remaining camera processing power and bandwidth can be configured. In a typical application, this would be for motiondetection using MJPEG or MPEG4. • If H.264 has been used for the primary stream, do not use H.264 for the secondary.
