Figure 2

Note: The RTSP traffic must not exceed the maximum hardware capability!!!

CPU usage must not exceed 90%.

3.1 Interface Introduction

The status display function is used to show the current system running status, including software version, network information, real-time RTSP/RTMP bandwidth information, running time, CPU and memory usage, and channel running status.

3.2 PC Time

After clicking the Sync PC Time button, the device time can be set to the time of the PC currently accessing it. The device time cannot be set manually.

Figure 3

4. Channel Settings

The channel settings page is used to configure the RTSP video source address, push address, recording switch, streaming switch and other functions of each channel.

Figure 4

The configuration procedure of the channel settings page is as follows:
4.1

4.1 Channel Switch

The channel switch is used to enable or disable a channel. Once disabled, all pull and push functions are disabled.

4.2 Channel Preview

Channel preview is used to preview the added RTSP video source, so you can check whether the added video source address is the one you need.

4.3 Video Source Address（RTSP/RTMP/UDP/HTTP）

The video source address is used to set the stream address of the video source. For most cameras that support the ONVIF protocol, you can click the search button next to it to search. RTMP/UDP/HTTP addresses need to be entered manually.

4.4 Video Source Search

4.4.1 Search Button

!!!Note that smartH264 or smartH265 must not be enabled on the camera

Used to search for mp4 files in the USB disk, as shown below:

Select the stream number you want to add and click Save to Channel to save the RTSP video source address to the corresponding channel.

Figure 7

4.5 RTMP Push Address

The RTMP push address is used to set the RTMP push address. This address is provided by the RTMP streaming server. Please contact the streaming service provider to obtain it. For example, Douyin requires the Xiaohulu Live Assistant, and for Kuaishou refer to docs.html

4.6 RTMP Push Switch

Used to enable or disable RTMP streaming

4.7 Recording Switch

9.8 Scheduled Reboot

In some scenarios the device needs automatic maintenance. You can set the scheduled reboot period on the scheduled reboot page. You can choose daily reboot or automatic reboot at a fixed interval.
Daily reboot:
      When this option is selected, the remaining time and scheduled time parameters below can be ignored. The device will reboot at 03:00 every day.
Fixed interval reboot
      When this option is selected, you need to set the scheduled time parameter in minutes. For example, if it is set to 60, the device will reboot every 60 minutes. The remaining time below means how much time is left before the next reboot. A negative value means the device will reboot immediately.
Note: When this item is set for the first time, the device will reboot immediately. (A negative remaining time means the device is about to reboot.)
