New Maxpro device window

New Maxpro device window

This window creates a new NVR. A similar window opens to edit the NVR record in the database.

Property	Value	Description
Name	text	Provides descriptive text that reflects the identity of the entity or logical grouping.
Type	drop-down list	Identifies the type of video device: DVR, camera, display, etc.
Description	text	Adds information to more fully explain an object’s purpose, function or location.
Ip Address	IP address	Identifies a device, which is connected to a network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. This should be the host name of the Maxpro NVR.
Http Port	number (defaults to 443)	Defines the port, when using the web UI, over which to transmit the camera’s video signal. 443 supports only secure communication between the camera and the station. For a camera that does not support TLS secure communication, that is, if `Use Rtsp Stream` (Maxpro Camera property) is `true` or if you are using the HTTP protocol (`Use Tls` is `false` and `Use Rtsp Stream` is `false`), change this property to 80. CAUTION: Be aware that the framework cannot prevent a flooding attack or other malicious activity if you choose to configure your application without secure communication. If using fox streaming, which uses the station to render the video stream, this port should be different from the station’s fox port. If you are not using fox streaming, this port should be the same as the station’s fox port.
Fox Video Stream Preferred	drop-down list (defaults to `Inherit`)	For a network component, selects (`true`) or declines (`false`) the use of Fox streaming. For a child component (DVR, NVR or camera), selects or declines the use of Fox streaming at the child component level. `Inherit` sets this property to the value set for its parent component (the DVR, NVR or network component). `Yes` sends the video stream from the video camera to the station (controller) and then forwards it to the Workbench interface through the standard Fox/Foxs connection. This overcomes fire wall issues in the event that the video surveillance system is not exposed to the outside world on its network. NOTE: This option assumes that the controller is exposed - otherwise you could not even connect to the station. `No` sends the video stream directly from the video camera to the interface. Using this setting allows you to set the `Preferred Resolution` and `Frame Rate` to `High` without impacting CPU usage. In essence, this removes the station from the equation. In all cases, the client-side computer expends some of its CPU utilization to render the video on the screen.
Credentials	User name and password	Secure the connection to a Maxpro NVR. Always use a unique password for your Maxpro Server account. Do not reuse a password you use elsewhere.
