Add a media server

To add a new media server, select the Add media server button.

Enter the media server details:

• Internal address, the address used to access the media server's API.

• External address, the address through which clients will receive video streams, screenshots, and archives.

• Media server type, select the type of media server: Server, Server stable.

• Group, specify the type of cameras whose video streams can be distributed by this media server.

• URL scheme, the scheme used to access the media server. Available values: http, https.

• Number of threads limit, the maximum number of main streams that can be created on the media server.

• Incoming traffic limit, kbps, the maximum sum of incoming traffic for all created streams on this media server (main and secondary streams), which cannot be exceeded when distributing new video streams to it.

• Internal port, the port used to access the API.

• External port, the port used to view HLS-format videos in the browser.

• RTSP port, specify the RTSP port.

• Media server token, the token for authorizing requests to the media server.

• Storages, specify the path to the local storage for archive recording.

• Incorrect cameras is displayed when the corresponding permission is available. With the setting enabled, streams distributed to the current media server will be listed as invalid cameras in case of reconnections (see the Incorrect cameras section). If an administrator without access to the Incorrect cameras feature creates a new media server, the functionality of moving cameras to the invalid cameras list will be disabled by default.

To create the media server, select the Create button.

When you select the Create button or the Check status button, a request is made to check the availability of the media server at the specified address and internal port. If the address or port is invalid, the media server will have the Unavailable status.
