Connecting a network cameraIf you are adding a Network Camera, then the next screen will enable you to select from a list of supported cameras. Choose your manufacturer and model, and iCatcher Console will suggest a video type. The video type can normally be left as iCatcher Console suggests, and only needs to be changed if you are having trouble connecting to the camera. Enter the IP address of the camera in the Address box If the camera is configured with a username and password, enter these in the boxes shown Video TypesJPEGIf the video type is set to JPEG then iCatcher Console will continuously request single images from the camera. This is the most basic of the capture modes, and provides the lowest performance in terms of frames per second MJPEGMJPEG, or Motion JPEG, provides higher performance than JPEG because iCatcher only needs to make a single request to the camera for the images, rather than requesting each image individually. MPEGMPEG, whilst providing the highest performing solution, tends to be less suitable for CCTV images and there is more compression in the image and so detail can be lost. MPEG is good for low bandwidth links. |
