ONVIF cameras
Remote ZTL control and preset audio/video profiles allow hassle-free user interaction with
ONVIF protocol cameras.
The PrimeLAN board provides support for JPEG and MJPEG streams for surveillance cameras
and allows users to retrieve and view video recordings and snapshots. Interaction with ONVIF
cameras allows viewing of recorded images (videos and snapshots) previous to and after the
occurrence of an event.
The frames are sent as attachments to emails associated with events or are stored for viewing
using a web interface or AlienMobile application, through the “Camera” section.
To do this it is necessary to:
• program the ONVIF camera (using its own presets), provide it with the ZTL presets
necessary for viewing the zone under surveillance and recorded video
• associate a camera with the occurrence (activation or restoral) of an event through the
Email configuration section (refer to paragraph 13-1 Programming e-mails)
•activate the Record on SD option (refer to paragraph 13-1 Programming e-mails) for the
viewing of recorded frames through a web interface
• using the Prime/STUDIO software, configure the ONVIF camera by clicking-on the
PrimeLAN settings button and then going to the“Programming - ONVIF camera
management” section on the right.
This section provides a pane containing the list of the configured cameras. At the side of this is
another section containing the parameters relative to the selected camera:
