| Parameter | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Stream Parameters | The general stream settings. | ||
Type | Select the desired type for the RTMP stream:
| ||
URL (for Pull) | Type the Stream URL from which ZEC will access. Use the following URL format: rtmp://host:[port]/app/stream. You can define RTMPS clients with the proven security of a secure socket layer (SSL), by using the rtmps:// url | ||
Stream Name (for Pull) | Type the unique name for the stream that has been defined in the RTMP server. | ||
User Name (for Pull) | Specify the user name to authenticate on the remote RTMP server | ||
Password (for Pull) | Specify the string that is used for authorization on the remote RTMP server. | ||
| Bind to IP | |||
Ignore TLS certificate (for Pull) | Select this option when connecting to a trusted server that does not have a valid certificate. When this option is selected, ZEC will ignore the TLS certificate errors. | ||
Disconnect if inactive | Disconnects the connection if inactive. | ||
| MPEG-TS Multiplexing Bitrate [kbps]: | Mixing bitrate (for Padding enabled) Specify the padding level in kbps. | ||
Smoothing Latency [ms] | The Smoothing feature uses a buffer to time packets according to the stream's clock. This is useful when there are bursts in the rate in which the stream arrives. The smoothing features creates a queue in the buffer, allowing smoother entry into ZEC. The Smoothing parameter defines the size of the buffer in Milliseconds. A larger buffer enables smoother entry, however, it may influence the latency rate. | ||
Enable multicast on pull outputs | Select this checkbox to enables the transmission of this stream’s outputs as multicast. A ZEC that will pull the stream will receive it in multicast. By default ZEC is configured to allow transparent fallback to unicast if it is out of the LAN. Requires enabling Multicast Pull in the Settings.
| ||
Enable encryption | Select this checkbox to encrypt the Input stream. For more information, see Encrypting an Input Stream in ZEC. | ||
Encryption type (for Encryption enabled) | Specify the type of Encryption (AES 128/192/256). | ||
Encryption key (for Encryption enabled) | Click Generate to generate an encryption key. The generated encryption key must be sent to the end-user to decipher the received encoded stream. | ||
Recording parameters | Select this checkbox to customize the recording parameters. | ||
Destination Type | Select the radio button for the desired storage type and then fill in the relevant parameters.
| ||
Record to Disk Parameters | |||
File Name Template | Specify the file name pattern that ZEC will use to generate when saving the recorded content. A separate file will be generated for each recording up to the time specified in the Max recorded file duration parameter (see above). After this duration a new file will be generated. The file name pattern can include any string and up to five variables listed below. Only the %T=HH.MM.SS creation time is mandatory. You can change the order of these variables and add text as long as you maintain the legitimate structure of the file in Linux and Windows:
For example, the following pattern %Y_recording%T.ts will generate the following file name 2022_recording15:32:35.ts. | ||
Max recorded file duration [hours] | Specify the maximum time allotted for recording a video stream. Default: 2 hours | ||
Keep recorded files for [hours] | Specify the maximum time for storing the recording. Default: 0 hours | ||
Custom Path | Optionally specify a storage location for the recorded files that is relative to the root folder. This location bypasses the location specified as the root folder in the Settings > General screen. | ||
Record to S3 Parameters | |||
File Name Template | Specify the file name pattern that ZEC will use to generate when saving the recorded content. A separate file will be generated for each recording up to the time specified in the Max recorded file duration parameter (see above). After this duration a new file will be generated. The file name pattern can include any string and up to five variables listed below. Only the %T=HH.MM.SS creation time is mandatory. You can change the order of these variables and add text as long as you maintain the legitimate structure of the file in Linux and Windows:
For example, the following pattern %Y_recording%T.ts will generate the following file name 2022_recording15:32:35.ts. | ||
Max recorded file duration [hours] | Specify the maximum time allotted for recording a video stream. Default: 2 hours | ||
URL | Specify the URL of the S3 bucket. | ||
Ignore TLS certificate errors | TLS certificate for S3 bucket might be detected as faulty if bucket name contains dot[s]. When this option is selected, ZEC will ignore the TLS certificate errors and transmit the stream to its destination. | ||
Access Key | The access key that is used for accessing the S3 bucket. | ||
Secret Key | The secret key that is used for accessing the S3 bucket. | ||
