Extended Camera Configuration
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Stream Templates | multiselect | Ordered list of stream templates (optional). When configured, a new profile is created and maintained in the camera for each stream template, with the name ‘xflow-<stream template name>’ and an encoder configuration that matches the stream template’s settings (framerate, bitrate, resolution, etc.) as closely as supported by the camera. |
Important: as stated above (Camera Configuration table), users may assign one or more configured streams to each camera (Assigned Streams). In order to automate the maintenance of the source URL configured for an assigned stream, the stream name must include the suffix ‘-<stream template name>‘. | | Modify In Use Encoders | droplist | When one or more stream templates are selected, use / modify encoders already in use by existing profiles. Often required when a camera has a small number of encoders. | | Throttle Unused Encoders | droplist | When one or more stream templates are selected, throttle (minimize) the configuration of each encoder not assigned to profile. Sometimes required when a camera has modest CPU resources (to conserve resources). | | Delete Non-Fixed Profiles | droplist | When one or more stream templates are selected, remove non-fixed (previously added / custom) profiles. Sometimes required when a camera has modest CPU resources (to conserve resources). | | Active Preset Tour | droplist | Supported options: “None” or configured preset tour. | | Auto Home | droplist | Supported options: “ENABLED” or “DISABLED”. When set to ‘ENABLED’, the camera will be instructed to return to its home position after the specified Auto Home Inactivity Period has elapsed. | | Auto Home Inactivity Period (m) | number | The period of camera control inactivity (in minutes) that must elapse before the camera is automatically instructed to return to its home position. | | Preset Tours | table | The preset tours for the camera (optional). | | Location Description | text | Brief description of camera location (optional). | | Latitude | number | Latitude of camera location (optional). | | Longitude | number | Longitude of camera location (optional). | | Roadway | text | Roadway name or identifier (optional). | | Roadway Direction | text | Roadway direction (optional). | | City | text | City name or identifier (optional). | | County | text | County name or identifier (optional). | | Region | text | Region name or identifier (optional). | | State | text | State name or identifier (optional). | | Province | text | Province name or identifier (optional). | | Entity | text | Entity name or identifier (optional). | | Operations Center | text | Operations center name or identifier (optional). |
