...ip需要改成您自己的设备ip，a=1代表通道1，a=2代表通道2，依次类推

7, Status Overview

 设备配置界面分为上下两个窗口，上侧为功能设置窗口 ，下半部分为功能内容窗口，如下图2：

Figure 2
Status overview: used to display the device running status, including the device serial number, software version number, running time, Chinese/English switching, disk space (Note: the pusher itself has no storage space, and an SD card or hard disk needs to be installed for storage), device local IP, CPU and memory usage, and network information, etc.
Clicking the sync-to-PC-time button sets the device clock to the time of the computer you are using; the device clock cannot be set manually.

note: rtsp flows do not exceed the maximum capacity of hardware

CPU occupancy cannot be higher than 90%

8 Channel Settings

 通道设置页面用于设置各个通道的RTSP视频源地址、以及推流地址、录像开关、HLS开关、截图按钮
 提供onvif搜索按钮、通道画面预览、以及拉流带宽和推流带宽的显示、高级设置等功能，如下图3：

Figure 3

Channel Switches

Used to enable or disable pull streaming for the corresponding channel. Once disabled, all pull streaming and streaming functions for that channel are disabled. You can also select multiple channels and use the master channel switch above to enable or disable them all at once.

Channel Preview

Used to preview an added RTSP video source, so you can check whether the added video is the desired source. Below the preview picture, various video format addresses are shown, as in Figure 4:

Figure 4

Video Source

Used to set the stream address of the video source. For most cameras that support the ONVIF protocol, click the search button behind it to search (the camera must be on the same LAN segment as the device). RTMP/UDP/HTTP and other video addresses must be entered manually.
If ONVIF search cannot find the device, go to the camera's backend and check whether the ONVIF protocol is enabled on the camera, or check whether the camera and the device are on the same LAN. For video encoder FAQs, see: In-site Docs Center
For the RTSP addresses of common IP camera brands, see: docs.html

8.4 Video Source Search

8.4.1 Search Button

!!!注意摄像头不可以开启smartH264 或者smartH265

Used to search for ONVIF-compatible IPC cameras and local video files. Click the search button and the device automatically scans the LAN and lists the ONVIF-compatible IPC cameras found on the LAN, as shown in Figure 5:

Figure 5
Note: video file search — local audio and video can be rotated for playback, but files must first be uploaded in VOD management. (Only streamers with more than 20 channels — excluding 24-channel models — and streaming servers support local-file VOD, and a hard drive is required.)

8.4.2 Camera Authentication

Select the camera you want to add and click the "Get Stream" button. The camera authentication dialog pops up; enter the camera's ONVIF username and password, as shown in Figure 6:

Figure 6

8.4.3 Saving the RTSP Video Source Address

After the username and password are verified successfully, the camera list shows stream numbers, where number 0 is the main stream, number 1 is the sub stream and number 2 is the third stream. Select the stream number you want to add and click "Save to Channel" to save the RTSP video source address to the corresponding channel, as shown in Figure 7:

Figure 7

8.4.4 Stream Details

Used to view the details of the obtained RTSP stream, such as bitrate, frame rate, resolution, etc., as shown in Figure 8:

Figure 8

8.5 RTMP Push Address

Sets the RTMP streaming URL, which is supplied by the RTMP media server — contact your streaming provider (to stream to Douyin, for example, you need Douyin's ingest URL). Paste the URL here once you have it.

8.6 RTMP Push Switch

open and close for control of rtmp push

8.7 Recording Switch

Video on and off to control video sources (video function needs hard disks)

8.8 HLS Switch

Turns HLS output on or off. The streaming platform's video stream generation also depends on this switch. For the streaming platform manual, visit:
docs.html

8.9 Video Source Format

Shows the source's encoding format, H.264 or H.265. Most platforms only accept H.264 for RTMP streaming, so confirm with your platform provider.

8.10 Pull Streaming Bandwidth

Coderate bandwidth to display video source addresses

8.11 Streaming Bandwidth

Streaming bandwidth: used to display the bitrate bandwidth of RTMP streaming.

8.12 Snapshot Configuration (supported from UI version 1.20.0.27)

Used to set the snapshot switch, snapshot upload address and snapshot time interval, etc., as shown in Figure 8 below:

Figure 8
- Snapshot upload (for other formats or platform integration, contact sales for custom development)
Upload address format:http://192.168.0.11/upload?id=xxx&channel=xxx&filename=snap_0.jpg
Request method: POST
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
id: device serial number
channel: device channel number, starting from 1
filename: uploaded file name
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="filename"; filename="snap_0.jpg"
- Local access snapshot address format
http://192.168.0.11/tmp/snap_0.jpg
Replace 192.168.0.11 with your own device IP
snap_0 is the snapshot name of channel 1, snap_1 is the snapshot name of channel 2, and so on
- Remote access snapshot address format

8.13 Advanced

Advanced: advanced settings are used to manually configure the compatibility mode of the RTSP video source address, audio settings, WebRTC streaming and UDP functions, etc., as shown in Figure 9:

Figure 9

8.13.1 External Audio Source Settings

On the advanced configuration page, we can enable audio: under [Audio Source] select "External Audio Source" and enter a network audio address, as shown in Figure 10:

Figure 10
If you cannot find a suitable network audio address, you can upload an audio file on our device management platform and let the platform generate the audio address for you. Audio playback is charged by traffic, and a one-time download/cache fee is charged at each boot, as shown in Figure 11:

Figure 11
For audio encoding parameters, the default values are recommended
To use the sound carried by the video, select from video source
If no sound is needed, select analog empty audio

9, Network Configuration

网络设置用于设置设备的IP地址。本推流器支持虚拟网口设置，本地网络为物理接口，联网需设置本地网络。虚拟网络用于设置虚拟网口，用于跨网段应用的特殊场合。虚拟网口只能设置IP和掩码，无法设置网关。4G网络为特定型号支持。

For dual-Ethernet video encoders, the configuration page is as follows: eth0 is the public network port and eth1 is the LAN port.

Figure 12
For single-Ethernet devices, the configuration page is as follows: when DHCP is enabled, the router automatically assigns an IP to the device and the IP address is not fixed; disable DHCP to set a static IP manually.

The figure below shows network port 1. The LAN port eth1 cannot be found by the Device Search Assistant. Before the port is configured, the port has the fixed IP 192.236.192.15. Note that eth1 and eth0 must not be on the same network segment.

Figure 13
For devices that support WiFi, the configuration interface is as follows:

Figure 14

22 IP Addresses in 4G Mode and WiFi Mode

In 4G mode, the IP address is the fixed IP 192.168.0.15 and cannot be modified. This IP can be found on the LAN after connecting the network cable. To use this IP to enter the backend, you need to add an IP of 192.168.0.10 on the computer. For how to add an IP on the computer, see this linkhttps://blog.csdn.net/zd1512149/article/details/139860822.
The same applies in WiFi mode
Idem under WiFi

23 HTTPS address playback

Method 1: the cloud platform generates an https stream address. Operation method: after registering on the cloud platform, bind the device through the serial number in the device list, click Play and log in, then click Generate (to use this address, the hls switch needs to be turned on. The address generated by the cloud platform can be played on both the LAN and the external network. Addresses generated from the cloud incur a traffic fee of 0.4/Gb)
Method 1: generate an HTTPS stream URL on the cloud platform. How: register on the cloud platform, bind the device by serial number in the device list, click Play and sign in, then click Generate. (This URL requires the HLS switch to be on. A cloud-generated URL plays both inside and outside the LAN, and cloud-generated URLs incur traffic charges of ¥0.4/GB.)
