ONVIF settings

On the ONVIF settings tab, the administrator can view and manage the connection settings for ONVIF-compatible cameras. For cameras that aren’t ONVIF-compatible, the fields remain empty.

There are two options how to connect an ONVIF-compatible camera.

1. Configure the connection parameters on the ONVIF settings tab.

2. Configure the video streams settings of a camera.

1. Configure the connection parameters on the ONVIF settings tab

On the ONVIF settings tab, perform the following actions:

Specify the following parameters:

• A login.

• A password.

• An ONVIF client IP.

• A port of an ONVIF user.

Select Connect.

If the protocol isn’t activated on the camera, the administrator will receive an error message indicating that ONVIF access is unavailable.

If the protocol is activated on the cameras and the camera is connected, the following data will be received from the camera:

• A manufacturer

• A model

• A serial number

• A MAC address

• An IP address of the camera

The connection status of the ONVIF-compatible camera is changed to Connected.

Once the camera is connected via the ONVIF protocol, the administrator can’t change the streams addresses on the Video Streams tab for this camera.

The addresses for the streams of low and high quality are automatically added.

Once the streams are successfully validated, they automatically receive an ID and UUID.

The Configuration tab will display the configuration details of the camera.

2. Configure the video streams settings of a camera

Navigate to the Video Streams tab.

Here, paste the addresses of the RTPS streams of the low and high quality in the relevant Stream address fields, and save changes.

Once the streams are successfully validated, they automatically receive an ID and UUID.

The type of connection is identified as Manual.

Set up services

Once the ONVIF-compatible camera is connected, the administrator can set up Services:

• PTZ

• Events retrieval

To set up the services, navigate to the ONVIF settings tab and enable relevant services:

Before you select events to receive, ensure these events are set up in the web interface of the camera.

The administrator can track the events that are received from the ONVIF-compatible cameras:

• In the camera card on the Events tab > the Camera sub-tab.

• In the Logging section > Events > the Camera events tab.
