Camera Recording

The Camera Recording page with the ExacqVision Client can quickly provide a high-level overview of the status of all your system cameras from a single page. Use the page to easily compare important camera settings, such as frame rate, resolution, firmware versions, and connection status. You may also apply several settings changes to multiple cameras at once from this page.

Panasonic Motion tab does not accept Default Motion Window

Panasonic model WV-SW458 Fisheye On Firmware 2.50 .
When setting up a new camera in the client and notice the motion window is not saving with the default motion window.

Work Around

Edit the motion window and delete any motion windows that exist. Then create a new motion window and draw the boarder of the motion window smaller than the boarder of the cameras field of view and apply. The motion window will save. If you use the default motion window and hit apply, the motion window will not save. It has to be a little bit smaller than the full boarder of the cameras FOV.

This will be in our 21.09 build release.

H.264 Camera Configuration for Time-lapse Recording

H.264 compression uses a Group of Pictures (GOP) or Group of Video (GOV) to define how many P-frames are sent between each I-frame. (I-frames are complete pictures, whereas P-frames are partial frames reconstructed based on the last I-frame and all the P-frames in between.) Time-lapse recording stores I-frames. If time-lapse recording is configured at short intervals (about 30 seconds or less) on H.264/MPEG-4, time-lapse scheduling might not be able to record as fast as desired.

To ensure time-lapse records at the desired rate, the camera must be configured for a GOP/frame rate setting equal to or less than the time-lapse setting, in seconds. For example, suppose you have a camera with a GOP of 30 configured to record 5 frames per second (fps), which produces an I-frame once every 6 seconds (30 divided by 5). In this case, time-lapse recording cannot capture I-frames more than once every 6 seconds. Thus, the time-lapse interval must be greater than 6 seconds. If you want to record time-lapse video at shorter interval, you must reduce the GOP setting.
