SELECTING A STREAM
1. Click the Select Stream button.
2. Select one of the following streams from the Select Stream page:
Primary Stream: To select this stream, click the button next to Primary Stream.
Secondary Stream: To select this stream, click the button next to Secondary Stream.
QuickView Stream: To select this stream, click the button next to QuickView Stream.
Event Stream: To select this stream, click the button next to Event Stream.
3. Configure the display settings for the selected stream. Available display settings are determined by the video compression of the selected
stream:
4. Click the Select button to save the stream settings.
PRIMARY STREAM AND SECONDARY STREAM
The Primary Stream and Secondary Stream are video streams that include compression, resolution, image rate, and bit rate settings. The streams
can be set up using a video configuration preset or they can be customized using the video configuration settings.
A video preset is a predefined video configuration that offers a good balance between video performance and bandwidth usage. For easy stream
configuration, use the Video Presets page located in the drop-down menu of the A/V Streams tab.
To customize the Primary Stream or Secondary Stream, select the Settings page and then use the Video Configuration page located in the drop-
down menu of the A/V Streams tab. Configurable settings include the stream name, compression, resolution, image rate, bit rate, and I-frame
interval of the video streams. The default names for the streams are Primary Stream and Secondary Stream; however, if these stream names are
changed, the new names replace the default names (Primary Stream and Secondary Stream) on the Select Stream page.
QUICKVIEW STREAM
The QuickView Stream is a predefined JPEG video stream with a lower resolution. This low resolution, low frame rate stream is available when
the settings are being configured.
The QuickView Stream is also ideal for users who are connected to a network with processor bandwidth limitations that might cause a high
resolution, high frame rate video stream to pause or appear pixilated.
The aspect ratio of the QuickView Stream mirrors that of the Primary Stream.
EVENT STREAM
The Event Stream displays a list of alerts triggered by a running analytic behavior. The alert includes a screen capture, the profile that was
triggered, and the zone where the alert was detected. For the Event Stream to work you must have an analytic behavior profile running. To set up
and run analytic behaviors, profiles, and zones, use the Analytic Configuration page located in the drop-down menu of the Events tab.
UNICAST
A unicast transmission sends a separate video stream to each user that is requesting data. Although multiple users might request the same data
from the camera at the same time, duplicate video streams are transmitted to each user. Every unicast user that connects to the camera
consumes additional processing power, which limits the number of simultaneous users who can access the camera. The unicast transmission
setting is available in the primary and secondary stream display settings.
MULTICAST
A multicast transmission sends data to multiple users at the same time using one transmission stream. Each multicast user that connects to the
camera consumes no additional processing power; therefore, multicast video streams can be sent to an unlimited number of simultaneous users.
The multicast transmission setting is available in the primary and secondary stream display settings.
