Architecture
The Monitor Station is a standalone Microsoft .Net based application that can be installed on the same PC as the Server or on a workstation PC. Admins setup a Server List that the Monitor Station uses along with access credientials to display only authorized live and recorded images. When using Active Directory or LDAP, users credientials are passed from the Monitor Station to the Server and then to the AD Server for authentication. Running Multiple Instances
Running Multiple Instances
Using a single Operating System, Monitor Station can run as a single instance with multiple layout windows or up to four instances of Monitor Station can be started.
Automated Startup
Monitor Station can be configured to automatically login, display a specified layout and run in full screen mode. Layouts can be configured to cycle after specified time periods. For additional unattended operation options, the Video Wall application can be setup for static display of layouts.
Security
Communication between the Monitor Station and the Server is only on request and is in a secure, proprietary format. Exported clips contain an MD5 crytographics 128-bit hash that can be validated for authenticity with the Video Insight Standalone Player.
Networking
The Monitor Station connects directly to the IP Server via ports 4010 and 4011. The Monitor Station does not connect directly to any camera or the SQL database. When accessing multiple servers, the Monitor Station will connect to each server independently and does not require a login server. When using 2 way audio, the Monitor Station communicates directly with the camera.
System Requirements
Minimum specifications depend on the number of simultaneous live images displayed. The Monitor Station recieves compressed data and uses the local CPU to decompress and display. When viewing a single image almost any Windows based PC will work. As the number of cameras or resolution increases, so do the systems requirements. If the workstation is capable, the Server will send all requested images to the Monitor Station, but if the local system is not capable of decompressing the images, the Server will automatically adjust the FPS to a lower rate.
CPU - The Monitor Station can use both Intel and AMD processors, but will take advantage of Intel's IPP embedded code to improve decoding performance.
Bandwidth Consideration
The Monitor Station can support a number of transmission options to optimize both video speed and clarity. When requested by the Monitor Station, the Server sends the full resolution and frame rate of each camera. For example, if the user requests a four camera view and each camera has a bitrate of 1.5 Mbits, the Server will send a total of 6Mbits. (If the client PC can not process the requested date, the bandwidth will be reduced). This method requires no Server processing and pushes the decompression load to the client PC's. Alternatively, for situations with bandwidth limitations, the server supports multi-streaming and Transcoding options. Dual Stream
Administrators can setup multiple connection to a single camera, each supporting different resolutions and FPS (depending on the capability of the camera). These streams can be used for live and recorded and can be setup in layouts and associated with high resolution streams. For example, if you have 16 megapixel cameras in a single 4x4 grid, instead of viewing in the full resolution, the layout can be configured with the low resolution images and when clicked, can switch to high resolution. Transcoding
For cameras that do not support multiple streams, or only support MJPEG, the Server has built in Transcoding which will convert the MJPEG images into a low bandwidth format. These options are available on a camera basis.
