Open the Integration Protocols dialog to configure the interfaces for integrating the camera into the third-party systems as well as the RTP server of the camera.
The interfaces allow finding and configuring the camera on the network using compatible systems of third-party manufacturers.
The RTP server provides access to the camera's live image. The server can provide different types of video streams using the RTP protocol. The number of available streams and the configuration options depend on the camera hardware and the configuration of the camera itself.
Sets the active integration protocols of the camera.
Genetec: Activates the Genetec integration protocol. The camera will be discovered automatically by Genetec Security Center, which also allows configuring the camera. The RTP server is active in this mode.
The browser interface of the camera only contains the parameters that cannot be configured directly in Genetec Security Center.
It's important that these parameters are only changed before adding the camera to Security Center. Changing these parameters afterwards usually requires a reconnect; sometimes you may even have to remove and add the camera again in Security Center.
When using Extended as image source, this mode automatically adjusts image generation (the resolution in particular) to the requirements of the Genetec integration. The configuration options in General Image Settings are limited accordingly.
ONVIF: Activates the ONVIF integration protocol. The camera will be discovered automatically by ONVIF-compatible systems, which also allow configuring the camera. The ONVIF configuration requires special users. The factory default includes a preconfigured admin user with default password. If you are not selecting ONVIF at this point, all ONVIF users will be denied access. The RTP server is active in this mode.
Change the password of the preconfigured ONVIF user if you are using ONVIF.
Standard users will be denied access to the camera via the ONVIF interface!
You only need to select the image source and adjust the aspect ratio if required. All other configuration options can be changed directly in the ONVIF client using the profile management.
If MxWeb has been activated, the ONVIF service is also available via the ports configured for MxWeb.
When using Extended as image source, this mode automatically adjusts image generation (the resolution in particular) to the requirements of the ONVIF integration. The configuration options in General Image Settings are limited accordingly.
Genetec + ONVIF: Activates both, Genetec and ONVIF as integration protocol. The camera will be discovered automatically by Genetec Security Center and ONVIF-compatible systems, which also allow configuring the camera. In this mode, you should use the camera via ONVIF in read-only mode when accessing the camera via Genetec Security Center at the same time. The RTP server is active in this mode.
RTP: Activates only the RTP server of the camera. This server provides MxPEG, H.264 and M-JPEG-encoded video via RTSP/RTP.
When using Extended as image source, the camera will only provide the same or lower resolutions than those configured in General Image Settings. Automatic adjustment of image generation is disabled.
Off: In this mode, neither the RTP server nor other protocols are active.
This option is only available if the protocol supports optimized settings.
The basic idea is that the recommended camera settings for the selected protocol are applied automatically. Clicking on the button shows an overview of the settings that will be optimized. If available, the dialog also shows additional settings that can be configured by the user. The changes that will be applied and the available options depend on the selected protocol. Clicking on Apply & Store will apply the optimized settings and store them in permanent storage, clicking on Cancel will abort the process without any changes.
Applying the optimized settings possibly overwrites other changes you may have applied beforehand. It's a good idea to apply the optimized settings first and then customize the settings as required.
Applying the optimized settings will discard changes to the integration protocol settings that have not yet been applied.
Network interface for the RTP server to use. Depending on the configuration, you can use different (virtual) network interfaces/IP addresses to access the camera. This option allows limiting access to the RTP server to only one of these interfaces. By factory default, all interfaces are available. This means that you can establish Unicast connections to all interfaces of the camera. For Multicast connections, the connection is selected automatically in the following order:
Network interface with fixed (static) IP address
Network interface with an IP address assigned by DHCP
Network interface with the factory IP address (10.x.x.x)
Network interface with the Zeroconf IP address (169.254.x.x.x)
If you select a specific interface for this option, Multicast and Unicast connections are only available via this interface. The RTP server will be deactivated on all other interfaces.
Port of the RTSP Server. By default, this is port 554.
Allows accessing the RTSP/RTP data via an HTTP tunnel. This is available below the web server ports.
Allows setting the Multicast parameters using the RTSP SETUP command.
Allows selecting an image source for the RTP server.
Extended: The Extended image source integrates all camera functions that are available for image generation. In essence, this refers to day/night switching, vPTZ, text and logo display and the obscuring of image areas (OA). This image source is only available with reduced image rates (20 frames/s in UltraHD) and only for the currently active image sensor (see General Image Settings).
Fast: The Fast image source reduces image processing to a minimum in favor of higher frame rates. This means that the camera can generate up to 30 frames/s in UltraHD. This mode allows accessing all available image sensors.
Make sure to apply the settings for the image source to the configuration so the camera can load the correct selection parameters for the aspect ratio and the Stream Settings.
Sets the aspect ratio of all video streams supplied by the RTP server. The following values are possible:
4:3
3:2 (only when using a 6MP sensor)
16:9
When using the RTP integration mode, the aspect ratios of all available resolutions correspond to the aspect ratio of the resolution selected in General Image Settings. Hence, configuring the aspect ratio is not required in this mode.
The full resolution of the 6MP sensor is only reached when using the 3:2 aspect ratio.
The full resolution of the 4K sensor is only reached when using the 16:9 aspect ratio.
When using the settings 4:3, 3:2, and 16:9, all resolutions up to the maximum resolution of the sensor are available. The RTP server automatically adjusts the resolutions and the image quality in the General Image Settings dialog to the requirements of the currently active RTP streams. Caution: When using live image recording, these settings also apply to the recorded video. To circumvent this behavior, you can activate full image recording in the Recording dialog.
Note that the camera selection and the display mode in the General Image Settings dialog also influence the aspect ratio and thus the resolutions supported by the RTP server.
The configuration options available in this section are dynamically adapted to the options chosen above.
Genetec: Simply select the desired video codec for each stream. You can configure all other parameters directly in Security Center. Caution: Changing the video codec means that you need to remove the camera and add it again in Security Center. In this case, executing a reconnect will not work!
ONVIF: All configuration parameters can be managed using ONVIF. The Stream Settings section is not displayed in ONVIF mode.
RTP: Depending on the image source and the General Image Settings, you can use these parameters to configure the RTP streams.
You can configure the following parameters for each available stream:
Select the video codec of this stream. The selection of codecs depends on the selected image source:
MxPEG
MJPEG
H.264
H.264
Make sure to apply changes to the selected codec to the configuration so the camera can load the correct selection parameters for the image size.
Image rate in frames per second.
Select the resolution of the video stream. You can only use one of the image formats (width x height) in the list box. The list depends in the integration mode and the selected video codec.
Use this parameter to control the audio channel for this RTP stream. Note that this option is only available if a corresponding audio input has been configured and activated in the Microphone and Speaker dialog. This option is activated by factory default.
This settings allows using both Unicast and Multicast (simultaneous transmission to an unlimited number of recipients) at the same time.
Controls whether or not the RTP stream in Multicast mode is always supplied or only if it is actually requested. If autostart has been disabled, the RTP Multicast stream will be started only once an RTSP connection has been established. The stream will stay active as longs as there are active RTSP connections to the stream. If autostart has been enabled, the RTP Multicast stream will always be supplied.
IP address of the Multicast group, to which the video data are being sent. This address must be within the SSM (Source-Specific Multicast) range (232.0.1.0 to 232.255.255.255), but all other valid Multicast IP addresses will be accepted. If you leave this field empty, the server automatically chooses
a valid IP address based on the factory IP address of the camera (10.x.y.z will be 232.x.y.z).
The server automatically sends the Multicast IP address and the port to the recipients.
In Multicast mode, the server uses up to four consecutive ports to send the audio and video data to the recipients. Enter
the first port of the range and make sure that the following three ports are not used on your network. Enter a port from the
range 1025 to 65532.
Make sure that the specified port range is not blocked by the recipient's firewall.
The TTL ("Time To Live") specifies how many hops (routers) the Multicast packets can pass before being discarded. The valid value range is 1 through 255. The default value (1) means that the Multicast packets are only distributed within the current subnet of the camera.
Sets the image quality in percent.
Number of frames between two full images. This option is not available for MJPEG.
Sets the codec profile for the H.264 stream.
Sets the strategy for controlling the bit rate limits.
CBR Constant Bit Rate: Quality varies, constant bit rate.
VBR Variable Bit Rate: Bit rate varies, constant quality.
MBR Maximum Bit Rate: Variable bit rate with constant quality up to reaching the maximum; quality is reduced afterwards to maintain the bit rate limit.
This section is only available if the selected protocol activates Genetec.
Allows controlling the camera vPTZ from Genetec Security Center. If this option is not selected, Genetec Security Center will apply its own vPTZ mechanisms to the received video stream.
This option is only available, if Image Source has been set to Extended.
This section is only available if ONVIF has been selected as protocol.
The following functions are provided for ONVIF integration:
WS Discovery for automatic detection of cameras by ONVIF-compatible devices. The current implementation only supports the ad-hoc mode, discovery proxies are not yet available.
Device Service allows querying system data, configuration parameters, and allows managing the ONVIF user accounts.
Media Service provides access to the H.264 and M-JPEG video streams. This interface allows creating and managing ONVIF profiles. In addition, you can configure the basic parameters of the video streams (such as image size, frame rate and quality).
Imaging Service allows querying and configuring image parameters (such as brightness, exposure time, etc.).
Event Service allows querying events via the ONVIF interface or the RTP server.
IO Service allows querying input pins and setting signal outputs.
PTZ Service is used to control the camera vPTZ.
Activates the service for automatic detection of the camera by other ONVIF devices. If this service is deactivated, you can manually integrate the camera into a video management system using the network address and the ports. For additional information, see the documentation of your video management system.
Lists the scopes for this camera, one per line. You can configure the scopes list either using the ONVIF interface or the browser-based user interface of the camera.
Lists all profiles that had been configured via the ONVIF interface. Use the Reset Profiles function if you want to delete these profiles. The Default MJPEG Profile and the Default H.264 Profile are predefined profiles. If you delete them, they will be recreated automatically using the factory default parameters.
Lists all ONVIF user accounts. ONVIF users have access to the ONVIF interface and the RTP live video streams. Accessing other interfaces, such as the web or the eventstream interfaces is not possible for ONVIF users.
According to the ONVIF specification, access to the ONVIF interface is granted using a three-level user level model. The assignment of the user levels to specific access rights follows the Default Access Policy Definition of the ONVIF specification:
Users of the Admin level have full access to the configuration and all RTP live video streams. In particular, administrators can manage the ONVIF user accounts.
Users of the Operator level have limited access to the system. They can read parts of the configuration and can control actuators (such as PTZ, I/O ports). These users also have access to all RTP live video streams.
Users of the Users level can read the basic configuration and have access to all RTP live video streams.
To change the user level, click on the current user level and select the new level from the drop-down field.
Click on Change Password to change the password of a user. New passwords must have at least eight characters.
Click on the Delete icon next to the password field to delete a user. Note that you cannot delete the last user since there must be at least one ONVIF user on the system.
Click on Add User to add a new user. Enter the user name, select the user level, and enter the password. User names must have at least three characters.
Unicast: Suitable for distributing one stream to single computers, since the camera generates individual streams for every recipient. The transmission data rate is a multiple of the number of recipients.
Multicast: Suitable for distribution to an unlimited number of computers. Regardless of the number of recipients, the camera only needs to create and transmit the data of one stream.
No authentication: Authentication when accessing the RTP video stream is deactivated, if Public Access is allowed for the Live access right in the Group Access Control Lists.
Standard users are managed in the Users and Passwords dialog; they must belong to a group that has the Live access right.
ONVIF users are managed either in the Integration Protocols (see section Users) or via the ONVIF interface. As a general rule, you have access to all RTP video streams. ONVIF user accounts are only used if the ONVIF integration of the camera has been activated.
When accessing the RTP server, authentication uses the different user types as specified by the RTSP URL. All URLs assigned to an ONVIF account need to be authenticated using an ONVIF user account; all other URLs require a Standard user account for authentication.
Streams in RTP Integration Mode
Access by means of a standard user account:
rtsp://192.168.2.101:<RTSP port>/stream/profile{0 - X}Streams in Genetec Integration Mode
The access URLs will be transmitted automatically to Security Center using the Genetec protocol. It is thus not necessary to enter these URLs.
Access by means of a standard user account:
rtsp://192.168.2.101:<RTSP port>/stream/genetec_video{0 - X}Streams in ONVIF Integration Mode
The access URLs will be transmitted automatically to the ONVIF clients. It is thus not necessary to enter these URLs.
Access by means of an ONVIF user account:
rtsp://192.168.2.101:<RTSP port>/stream/onvif-<ONVIF PROFILE TOKEN>
