H.265 Support for ONVIF and AXIS Protocols

The high-efficiency H.265 video compression format, previously only supported by Panasonic, i-PRO, and TOA cameras, is now supported by ONVIF and AXIS protocols. For instructions on how to set up the IP decoder, please refer to the following guide.

System software Ver.6.0 or earlier only supports H.265 for Panasonic, i-PRO, and TOA cameras.

Set the camera's video compression format to H.265 before proceeding with setup.

For ONVIF
For cameras that support Profile T, the H.265 stream can be received by setting the Media Type to Media2 in Camera Information Settings. If camera registration fails, check if the camera supports Profile T.

For AXIS Protocol
For a camera with the AXIS protocol, select the profile that is set to the H.265 video compression format under Stream Profile in Camera Information Settings.

Virtual PTZ

The virtual PTZ function allows operators to digitally enlarge an area of the displayed image for closer inspection. Once enlarged, the operator can virtually pan the image up, down, left, or right in real time. This is useful when viewing video from cameras that are not equipped with PTZ functions.

To use virtual PTZ, select Virtual under PTZ in the Camera Control Menu.

Increased Number of Columns in Custom Screen Settings 

The number of columns that can be set in the Custom Screen Settings has been increased from 8 to 16. With custom layout you can merge individual windows to focus on specific areas, or split them to see more on a single screen. Below is an example layout made possible with this update.

An action is executed if camera stream reception fails. When Camera No. is set to any, the action is executed if an error occurs with receiving the stream from any camera displaying on the live screen.

Action: Power Management
This action changes the power status of the device when a configured event occurs. For Power Status, select On or Quick Shutdown. Combined with the Schedule event rule, operators can schedule the devices to turn on at the beginning of the day and turn off in the evening.
