Setting Correct Profiles

Please ensure you have 2 profiles configured on your device:

  1. The Event or Recording Profile - This will be used to record events. For optimal performance, this this to the higher resolution / frame-rate of the device or as desired if you have specific requirements.

  2. The Live Profile - This will be use for live view and the analytics stream. For optimal performance, set this to 720p 15fps - set this as the default profile on NVRs/DVRs.

IP Cameras

Cameras are the easiest to set up and should work out of the box. If the cameras are not working for any reason, please try one of the following for the Analytics Path and Recording Path:

  • Analytics_Path: /profile2/media.smp

  • Recordings_Path: /profile1/media.smp

The above assumes profile2 is set to 720p with 15fps and profile1 is set to the maximum resolution / frame rate.

Please also ensure the RTSP port is correct (554 by default).

Multi-Sensor IP Cameras & Encoders

If your device is a multi-sensor camera or an encoder, please set the Analytics Path as follows:

  • /<sensor#>/profile2/media.smp

  • /<sensor#>/profile2/media.smp

Sensor # range is from 0-3 (0 = Sensor 1, 1 = Sensor 2…)

For example for PNM-9081VQ, PNM-9080VQ, PNM-9322VQP, PNM-9002VQ, or PNM-7002VD:

  • Camera 1: /0/profile2/media.smp

  • Camera 2: /1/profile2/media.smp

  • Camera 3: /2/profile2/media.smp

  • Camera 4: /3/profile2/media.smp

NVR - Network Video Recorders

  1. Set the correct RTSP port - The RTSP port for NVRs will be the last Device Port set on the unit. i.e. if device port is set to 554-558, 558 will be the port for RTSP.

  2. Set the correct Analytics Path - Channel numbering starts at 0.

    1. E.g. /LiveChannel/0/media.smp

  3. Set the correct Recording Path - Channel numbering starts at 0.

    1. E.g. /RecordChannel/0/media.smp

To get the full list of supported profiles, you can create a tunnel to the camera and visit the following URL (replacing {PORT} with the actual tunnel port):
​
​http://timeline.is:{PORT}/stw-cgi/media.cgi?msubmenu=videoprofilepolicy&action=view

You will see something like the following:

Channel.0.NetworkProfile=2

Channel.0.LiveProfile=2

Channel.0.RecordProfile=2

Channel.0.LiveMode=Manual

Channel.1.NetworkProfile=2

Channel.1.LiveProfile=2

Channel.1.RecordProfile=2

Channel.1.LiveMode=Manual

Please ensure the Live and Record profiles are mapped to the desired resolution/frame-rate/codec.

DVR - Digital Video Recorders

DVR recorders setup is similar to NVR setup with the following differences:

  1. Set the correct RTSP port - The RTSP port for DVRs will be the last Device Port set on the unit. i.e. if device port is set to 4520-4524, 4524 will be the port for RTSP.

  2. Set the correct Analytics Path - numbering starts at 0.

    1. E.g. /<camera>camera
      ​
