How to work with cameras in live view?
When selected, the Live view mode is going to be highlighted in blue.
From this toolbar, we can switch to playback mode, adjust the system volume or mute completely the system
In Operator Client you may see 3 types of camera icons (top to bottom) :
- Fixed
- PTZ
- Panoramic
Performing a simple mouse over a camera icon will provide camera status information.
Note: The red dot on the camera icon indicates that the status of the camera is recording.
Accessing live video can be done one of several ways:
- Drag and drop a camera to the desired image pane
- Double click a camera and it will auto populate to the current “active image pane”
- Right click the desired camera and click the “Show” menu
Right Clicking any camera icon will give access to serval submenus.
- Menu accessibility may vary based on the user’s privileges
- The right click menu will differ based on the selected camera type, fixed or PTZ.
What options are in “Preferred stream” and what does mean each of them?
- Transcoding – view live and playback of UHD cameras over a network with limited or unpredictable bandwidth.
- Stream 1 – higher resolution stream, used by default for recording
- Stream 2 - lower resolution used by default for live stream
- Image pane size optimized – available only when the resolution of Stream 2 is lower than the resolution of Stream 1
Below you can see an overview of the other options found in the camera right click menu:
From the image pane toolbar, you can have fast access to different information and functions.
Information: which step in the sequence is being displayed, if the BVMS digital zoom is being used, if the transcoded stream is selected.
Functions: instant playback, start manual recording or enable/disable audio.
Right clicking on the Image pane will display the image proprieties.
