Video Source

Live View allows for streaming from Surveillance Station or from IP cameras. We recommend using Surveillance Station as the video source as it provides high compatibility.

To configure the video source for live view and mobile streaming:

  1. In the Video Source section, select either of the following options from the Live view and Mobile drop-down menus:
  2. Click Save to apply settings.

Note:

Buffer Settings

With a video buffer, in order to acquire the complete video stream, Surveillance Station will only play feeds after the buffer time you set. This gives you a smoother video flow and improves live view quality.

Note:

Multicast Settings

With the multicast feature, Surveillance Station can multicast video and audio streaming via a specific IP address and ports to save bandwidth on your server.

Note:

To enable multicast streaming on live view or mobile:

  1. Tick the Enable multicast checkbox.
  2. Assign an IP address as the Group address.
    Note: Group address is valid within the range between 224.0.1.0 and 239.255.255.255.
  3. Assign Video port and Audio port.
    Note: These two ports must be assigned an even number within the range between 10000 and 65534. The two ports must be of different values.
  4. Click Save to apply settings.
