Question 2

How to add cameras

Accepted Answer

In order to configure cameras on the NVR, navigate to the Configuration page and click on the Cameras tab. Here you will be able to view a list of already configured cameras on your NVR or configure new ones. Here’s what you will need in order to add cameras to the NVR:

| Minimum Requirements : Camera must support RTSP Protocol & ONVIF Compliant

Camera IP Address (eg: 192.168.1.10)
Camera Username
Camera Password
Camera RTSP URL (eg: rtsp://192.168.1.10:554/0)

Click on the ${color}[#f26507](+ Add a new camera) button on the top right corner of the page

Add New Cameras

Select the server you are adding the camera(s) to and click ${color}#f69104

Select Server to Add

From here, you either have the option to scan for cameras or manually enter the camera info.

Method 1 - Scan Local Network

Click on ${color}[#f28e02](Scan local network)

Scan Local network

Select all the cameras that share the same username and password and hit ${color}#fc7b03

Question 3

Resetting LiveReach Cameras to DHCP

Accepted Answer

This Guide will help you reset LiveReach Cameras to DHCP which have been identified as offline in LiveReach App after changing your local network / cameras which were reset to factory settings.

||| Note: This Guide can only be applied to cameras provided by LiveReach.

Problem Scenario

The cameras are working until the local network change.
Then, the cameras were shown as offline after local network change such as topology changes, Switch/Router changes, subnet restructuring, VLAN Changes, network segment reset etc.
If the camera is on static IP address during the local network change, it will most likely be unreachable because of misconfigured network settings.
In this case, resetting the cameras back to DHCP will bring them back online.

| Please make sure to notify LiveReach Support before making any changes to your local network configurations, Topology involving LiveReach Server & Cameras.

Resetting Cameras to DHCP

Make sure that your cameras and the your machine are in same network.
Go to the Search Tool Download Page and download appropriate file (Search Tool) which suits your operating system (Windows / Mac).
Double click on the installer and follow the instructions in the installer window.

Question 4

H.265 Minimum requirements

Accepted Answer

H.264 and H.265 are video compression standards widely used in various applications, including IP cameras and video streaming services. In this article, we'll discuss the differences between H.264 and H.265, their advantages, and the minimum requirements for devices and browsers to support them.

H.264

H.264, also known as Advanced Video Coding (AVC), is a video compression standard introduced in 2003. It has become the most widely used format for compressing and recording video, supported by a vast majority of devices and IP cameras. H.264 is popular due to its ability to provide high-quality video at lower bitrates, making it ideal for various applications, including video conferencing, streaming services, and surveillance systems.

H.265

H.265, also known as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), is the successor to H.264. Introduced in 2013, H.265 aims to improve upon H.264 by offering better compression efficiency and supporting higher resolutions, such as 4K and 8K. H.265 can deliver the same video quality as H.264 at approximately half the bitrate, making it a more efficient choice for bandwidth-limited applications.

Advantages of H.265 over H.264

H.265 offers superior compression efficiency, allowing for the same video quality at lower bitrates compared to H.264.
With H.265, video streams require less bandwidth, making it ideal for applications with limited bandwidth resources.
H.265 supports higher resolutions, such as 4K and beyond, without significant

Question 5

Network Topology Requirements

Accepted Answer

Network Topology Requirements

The following are the configuration options for your system.

1. Using Digital IP Cameras

|| LiveReach AI cameras or pre-existing IP cameras

Network Topology for Case 1

2. Analog Camera Integration

Many analog DVRs are ONVIF compliant and can be added. If your analog DVR is not ONVIF compliant, work with your account manager and they will suggest an encoder that will convert the analog streams to become reachable on the network.

Network Topology Case - 2

3. Digital IP Cameras Not on Same Switch

If your IP cameras are not on the same switch but on the same network, the NVR should still be able to scan for the cameras assuming your cameras are ONVIF compliant

Question 6

Understanding Live Viewing

Accepted Answer

This Guide will present you all the basic knowledge needed about viewing and understanding the terms of Live Stream Viewing.

Glossary

Bitrates

Bitrate, measured in kilobits per second (kbps) or megabits per second (Mbps), is the rate at which data is transmitted during live streaming. Bitrate plays a crucial role in determining the visual quality of a live stream. Higher bitrates result in clearer and more detailed videos. Higher Bitrates have better quality but consumes more bandwidth and storage

Codec

Video encoding is the process of converting raw video data into a compressed format that can be stored or transmitted more efficiently. A video codec is a software or hardware implementation capable of compression or decompression to/from a specific video coding format. Some video coding formats are documented by a detailed technical specification document known as a video coding specification. H.264 and H.265 are the popular video codecs being used in surveillance industry.

Resolution

Resolution refers to the number of pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. It's commonly expressed as width x height. The most common resolutions for IP cameras include 2 MP (1080p), 4MP (1440p), 5MP (1920p), and 8MP (4K/2160p). The higher the resolution, the more pixels an image contains, and the clearer the image will be. it is important to consider the resolution that best suits your needs. For instance, if you want to read license plates or identify an
