Audio & Video

This tab lets you adjust the audio and video streaming settings of the camera.

There are three primary menus located at the top of the scree; the AVoiP (Audio-Visual over Internet Protocol), the Video Menu, and the Audio Menu.

RTMP​

Options:

  • Stream 1 URL: Define the RTPM address of the CDN (Content Delivery Network. e.g. YouTube) you wish to stream to.
  • Stream Key: Your CDN will provide this and it should be input here.
  • Enable Stream: Toggles the stream "On" or "Off".
  • Stream 2 URL: Define the RTPM address of the CDN (Content Delivery Network. e.g. YouTube) you wish to stream to.
  • Stream Key: Your CDN will provide this and it should be input here.
  • Enable Stream: Toggles the stream "On" or "Off".

Cancel: Ends the stream.

Default: Returns the camera to it's default RTMP settings.

Save: Saves the camera's RTMP settings.

SRT​

Enable/Disable: Toggle the SRT stream "On" or "Off"

Mode: Define whether the SRT Stream is pulled (Listener Mode) from the camera, or whether the stream must be pushed (Caller Mode) to a server.

Server: Define the server IP address. This is only used in Caller Mode.

Port: The default port number is 4578. The SRT port is how you reach the SRT video feed from your camera.

Encryption: Define how much, if any, encryption is done to the SRT stream.

Password: Lets you set a password for the SRT encryption.

Bandwidth Overhead: SRT Bandwidth is a percentage that you assign that helps determine the total bandwidth that the SRT stream will use up. This percentage should not exceed 50%, and is set to 25% by default. Range 5 ~ 100.

Latency (ms): Define the maximum buffer size for maintaining SRT packets from the camera to the destination. Range 20 ~ 8000ms

Stream ID (Optional): Define a unique name for the SRT stream.

RTP/RTSP​

RTSP (Unicast)​

Authentication: Toggle RTSP Authorization on or off. When enabled, you will be prompted to login to the camera when pulling the RTSP feed. You can use the Admin or Guest Login credentials to pull the video stream.

Port: The default port is 554. The RTSP Port is how you reach the RTSP video feed(s) of your camera.

RTP (Multicast)​

Enable/Disable: Toggle Multicast on or off.

warning

Only use this setting with a network configured for multicast.

IP Address: Define the Multicast Address. Recommended format: 234.1.2.[camera IP address last octet]

HD Port: The default port is 6688. The Multicast Port HD is how you reach the HD stream 1 through RTP Multicast.

SD Port: The default port is 6690. The Multicast Port SD is how you reach the SD stream through RTP Multicast.

ONVIF​

Enable/Disable: Can be toggled on or off.

Authentication: You will be prompted to login to the camera to view the video feed. You can use the Admin or Guest Login credentials to access the camera.

NDI​

NDI Settings​

Local Device Name: The name you assign your camera.

Local Device Channel: The is the video feed you assign to the camera.

Receive Group: Decide which NDI devices your network can view the NDI sources. The camera and computer must be part of the same group.

Discovery Server: Toggles On or Off. This handles discovering and distributing NDI sources more reliably across your network.

Discovery Server Address: Define the IP Address for the Discovery Server.

Multicast Server: Toggles On or Off. This allows the camera’s NDI feed to be viewed by multiple NDI devices. Do not use this unless your network is configured for multicast.

Port: Defaulted at 5961. This port is how you reach the NDI feed of your camera.
