Media Server can ingest live video from Genetec Security Center.
NOTE: This feature is available only when you run Media Server on Windows.
Before you begin
In the [Paths]
section of the Media Server configuration file, set the configuration parameter GenetecSDKDirectory
to the directory that contains the SDK, for example:
[Paths] ... GenetecSDKDirectory=C:\Genetec_Security_Center_5.6_SDK
Restart Media Server.
To ingest video from Genetec
Create a new configuration to send to Media Server with the process
action, or open an existing configuration that you want to modify.
In the [Session]
section, add a new task by setting the EngineN
parameter. You can give the task any name, for example:
[Session] Engine0=Ingest
Create a configuration section to contain the task settings. Type the task name inside square brackets, and then set the following parameters:
Type
|
The ingest engine to use. Set this parameter to GenetecIngest . |
RecorderHost
|
The host name or IP address of the Genetec Security Center recording server. |
RecorderPort
|
The port of the Genetec Security Center recording server. |
BasicUsername
|
The user name to use to retrieve video from Genetec Security Center. |
BasicPassword
|
The password to use to retrieve video from Genetec Security Center. Micro Focus recommends encrypting user names and passwords before entering them in configuration files. For information about how to do this, see Encrypt Passwords. |
For example:
[Ingest] Type=GenetecIngest RecorderHost=Genetec RecorderPort=5500 BasicUsername=user BasicPassword=encrypted_password
Save and close the configuration file. Micro Focus recommends that you save your configuration files in the location specified by the ConfigDirectory
parameter.
You can now start ingesting video. When you use the process
action, you must set the source
parameter to the logical ID of a camera. For information about how to find the logical ID, refer to the Genetec Security Center documentation. For more information about how to start processing, see Start Processing.
