Field label
Description
MPEG (MPEG-4, H.264, and MxPEG) cameras deliver only 1 MPEG
stream (some camera types can deliver several MJPEG streams in
addition to the MPEG stream).
If this option is not selected, then only 1 video stream will be pulled
from the camera regardless of how many different formats would
be needed.
If it is selected then multiple streams will be pulled.
Also consider the following checkboxes that define which formats
can be pulled from the camera.
Please note:
Multi-streaming has some important restrictions that
depend heavily on the camera type. Please refer to the document
NETAVIS Observer Supported Video Sources
for details on
restrictions.
Allow JPEG streaming
If your camera supports MJPEG video streaming, you can allow
using this mode by selecting this checkbox.
In one special case, Observer will try to pull an MJPEG stream even
if this checkbox is deselected. This is the case when iCAT video
analytics is working on MPEG streams (e.g. for motion detection)
and
Multi stream allowed
is selected. This special additional
MJPEG stream in QVGA is used only for iCAT and helps to minimize
server CPU load for iCAT processing (please refer also to
15.2.1
Considerations for setting up a system with iCAT
on page 142).
Allow MPEG-4 streaming
If your camera supports MPEG-4 video streaming, you can allow
using this mode in the Online Monitor and the archive by marking
