A new media server

Enter the media server details:

  • Internal address – the address 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 which video streams can be distributed by this media server.

  • URL scheme – the scheme 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 incoming traffic from 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 to access the API.

  • External port – the port 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). When an administrator creates a new media server without the necessary permissions for the Incorrect cameras feature, the functionality to move cameras to that list will be automatically disabled.

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.
