GXV-3672-FHD IP Camera
GXV-3272-FHD Full HD camera, nighttime capability, supports a power over ethernet connection.
From Fedora 20 or Scientific Linux 6.5 using vlc:
- vlc rtsp://<ip addres>/0 - The HiDef stream
- vlc rtsp://<ip addres>/4 - The LowDef stream
Monitors
Create two monitors, one for each of the streams.
| HiDef | |
| Name | Cam1 |
| Source Type | Ffmpeg |
| Function | Nodect |
| Source Path | rtsp://<ip address>/0?tcp |
| Width & Height | Match the camera's Primary stream settings |
| LowDef | |
| Name | Cam1-low |
| Source Type | Ffmpeg |
| Function | Modect |
| Source Path | rtsp://<ip address>/4?tcp |
| Width & Height | Match the camera's Secondary stream settings |
Camera Settings
Camera settings that appear to work well:
| Primary Stream | |
| Codec | H264 |
| Resolution | 1920x1080 |
| Bit Rate | 4096 |
| Max Frame Rate | 10 |
| Secondary Stream | |
| Codec | H264 |
| Resolution | 352x288 |
| Bit Rate | 384 |
| Max Frame Rate | 10 |
Created the HiDef stream as Cam1, LowDef as Cam1-low. Linked from Cam1 to Cam1-low. Cam1-low is where the motion detection happens. When it alarms and starts recording the HiDef feed also starts recording.
Some Progress
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| Source Type | Remote |
| Remote Protocol | HTTP |
| Remote Method | Simple |
| Remote Host Name | IP or hostname |
| Remote Host Port | 80 |
| Remote Host Path | /snapshot/view0.jpg High Res 1920x1088 /snapshot/view4.jpg Low Res 320x240 |
As I understand things: This is just pulling images one at a time, instead of watching a video stream. Seems like not the best way of configuring things for this camera.
