Adding a New Stream
1. On
the
Streams
tab, click
Add
. This will add a second stream to the list (you cannot have more than two
streams).
2. In
the
Stream
column, select the required type of stream.
3. If you want to use the stream for live video, select the check box in the
Live
column. Leave the check box
cleared if you only want to use the stream for video which will be recorded.
You can use the same stream for both live and recorded video if required. You cannot use two different
streams for the same purpose, for example for live video.
4. If you want to use the stream for recorded video, select the check box in the
Record
column. Leave the check
box cleared if you only want to use the stream for live video.
Note how the selection in the
Plug-ins
column always follows the stream you have selected for recorded
video. This is because the integrated plug-in which RC-E uses for motion detection is always applied on the
video stream which will be recorded.
The
Edge Recording
column indicates whether the selected stream supports edge recording (see "Record
Tab Overview" on page 103) or not.
5. Click
Save.
Events Tab Overview
For items (cameras or microphones) supporting events, you are able to manage the hardware configurable events on
the
Events
tab. To access the
Events
tab, select the required item in the overview pane (see "Panes Overview" on
page 36), then select the
Events
tab in the properties pane (see "Panes Overview" on page 36).
The
Events
tab will only be available if the selected item supports hardware configurable events.
Even when an item supports hardware configurable events, it is always your decision whether you want to use such
events on your RC-E system. Therefore, you simply add each hardware configurable event you want to be able to use
on each item.
About the Event Tab for Camera
In addition to RC-E's motion detection, some cameras can themselves be configured to detect motion. If a camera is
capable of such detection, the camera's detections can be used as events. Such events can in turn be used when
creating event-based rules (see "Events Overview" on page 128). Events from cameras are called hardware
configurable events as they technically occur on the actual camera hardware rather than on the surveillance system.
Even though events based on signals from input and/or output units connected to camera devices are technically also
hardware configurable events, they are managed elsewhere. See Manage Inputs (see "Manage Input" on page 88)
and Manage Outputs (see "Manage Output" on page 91).
About the Event Tab for Microphone
Some devices are capable of creating events themselves. Such events can in be used when creating event-based
rules (see "Events Overview" on page 128) in RC-E. Events from such devices are called hardware configurable
events, as they technically occur on the actual camera hardware rather than on the surveillance system.
Adding a Hardware Configurable Event
