How-to: Connect to
capture source
This example
shows you how to connect to a capture card or USB-Webcam installed in your
system.
Open the configuration dialog, and click the channel
setting, you should see the following dialog:
In the “Module Type” combo box, select the “Constraint
Module”. (If your computer does not have any DirectShow compatible devices or
devices specially supported by CyeWeb, the “Module Type” option will
disappear.)
In the “Module” combo box, select the capture card and input
port or webcam you want to connect.
Check the “Bind Module” checkbox. Now you should be able to
see the video. (If you are using the open source bt8x8 driver, you may need to
recheck the box 2 times; this seems to be a bug in the driver.)
This example shows you how to connect to an Axis IP camera.
Open the configuration dialog, and click the channel
setting, you should see the channel setting dialog. Under the “Capture Source”
Tab, select “Unconstraint Module” as Module Type.
In the “Module” combo box, select the Axis network camera.
Fill in the Server address and the login id and password you
setup in your camera. You can also select the stream type, frame rate and
resolution.
Check the “Bind Module” checkbox. Now you should be able to
see the video.
Please note if you select a resolution that your camera does
not support, the connection will fail. You can try selecting different
resolution until connection succeeds.
* There is an open Axis camera you can use for testing. The
address is 193.247.200.57. No id or password is required
Note: CyeWeb also supports connecting Axis Mpeg4
camera via RTSP. You can try.
How-to: Connect ACTi camera
This example shows you how to connect to an ACTi IP camera.
Open the configuration dialog, and click the channel
setting, you should see the channel setting dialog. Under the “Capture Source”
Tab, select “Unconstraint Module” as Module Type.
In the “Module” combo box under “Unconstraint Module”,
please select “[Network Camera] ACTi Network camera/DVS (Mpeg/Mjpeg@RTP)”.
CyeWeb connects ACTi via RTP so please configure inside your
camera to stream via “RTP over UDP” (under the video setting). Otherwise the
connection will not succeed. You can also disable the "RTP B2 Frame"
to increase throughput.
In CyeWeb's setting dialog, please remember to include the
port number in the address to connect (e.g. 192.168.1.161:7070).
Check the “Bind Module” checkbox. Now you should be able to
see the video.
Note: for information to get around firewall problem when
connecting outside a router, please have a look at our FAQ#18.
This example shows you how to connect to a MJPEG IP camera.
(Most IP cameras today in the market support MJPEG).
Open the configuration dialog, and click the channel
setting, you should see the channel setting dialog. Under the “Capture Source”
Tab, select “Unconstraint Module” as Module Type.
In the “Module” combo box, select “[Network Camera] Mjpeg”.
Fill in the Server address. You should refer to the
instruction manual of your IP camera for the URL of the MJPEG stream, or you
can write a message to the vendor for the URL. Most IP camera has that URL.
Check the “Bind Module” checkbox. Now you should be able to
see the video.
* There is an open MJPEG stream you can use for testing. The
address is “http://webcam-1.duesseldorf.it-on.net/cgi-bin/nph-update.cgi”.
How-to: Setup recording
This example shows you how to setup recording. The channel
to setup must first connect to a capture source (please refer to “How-To: Connect to Capture Source”).
Open the configuration dialog, and click the channel
setting, you should see the channel setting dialog. Under the “Compression”
Tab, you should see the following dialog:
1) Check
the “Bind Module”.
Note: You can select “compress on event” instead of “compress
round-the-clock” (default). This can significantly reduce the usage of CPU
resource. If you select “compress on event”, please also setup motion detection
(or advance video analysis). Please refer to “How-To: Setup Motion Detection”.
2) The
default CBR bit rate is 512 Kbit/sec (524288 bit). This value is high enough
for D1 video. If your video source is in video resolution lower than or equal
to 720*480, we recommend you to set this to a lower value, such as 256 Kbit/sec
(262144), to lower the data size.
3) Close
all dialogs.
4)
Under the Main Console, click
the Run Channel button. You should see a popup menu to run all or some
channels. Run all channels or run the channel you just configured.
Now you should be able to see the
new recording file on Playback system. (Note: You may need to press the refresh
button on Playback system to show up the new file.)
This example shows you how to setup HTTP and Video Server
for remote viewing. The channel to be viewed remotely must first connect to a
capture source and bind to a “Compression Module” (please refer to “How-To: Connect to Capture Source” and “How-to: Setup recording”).
1) Run
the channels that you want to webcast. (please refer to “How-to: Setup recording, step 4”)
2) Open
the configuration dialog, and click the application module button, you should
see the application module setting dialog. Click the “Add Module” button, and
add the web and video server.
3) Check
the “Bind Module” checkboxes on the Web Server and Video Server.
4) Now
you should see the Web and Video Server Indicators lighting up on the Main
Console:
5) Open
your Microsoft IE, key in your computer’s Internet address (for more
information of your Internet address, please refer to the FAQ #5 ~ 7). IE would prompt you
to install an ActiveX control. Install it.
Note: Do NOT use “localhost” even if you are connecting on the same computer. Use
your domain name, WAN IP or LAN IP.
6) Fill
in the ID/Password with “administrator”/“administrator” (if you have already
setup your own account, you can use yours), and click the “Connect” button.
Note: If you see the web interface but you cannot see video after clicking
the “Connect” button, the computer to connect may not have Microsoft WVC1 codec
installed. Please refer to FAQ
#6.
Now you have successfully setup
and test your Video and Web server.
How-to: Setup Motion Detection
This example shows you how to setup motion detection. The
channel to setup must first connect to a capture source (please refer to “How-To: Connect to Capture Source”).
Open the configuration
dialog, and click the channel setting, you should see the channel setting
dialog. Under the “Analytics” Tab, you should see the following dialog:
1) Check
the “Bind Module”.
2) If
you need to mask some areas in the video, do it, and then click “Apply”.
3) Under
the “Event Handler” Tab, you should see the following dialog:
Check the “Bind Module” checkbox.
4) Run
the channel. (please refer to “How-to:
Setup recording, step 4”)
Now you have successfully setup motion detection and its
presenter.
