Source

The media source to process. Specify one of the following:

  • a path to a file residing on a file system that Media Server can access.
  • the URL of a stream.
  • the name of a DirectShow device (to ingest from a DirectShow source, such as a capture card).
  • to ingest video using the Milestone ingest engine, specify either:

    • a camera name (not supported with XProtect Corporate when you set MilestoneDirectory).
    • a camera UUID.
    • (Milestone XProtect Corporate only) a camera UUID followed by a stream ID, in the following format:

      id:camera_uuid,streamid:stream_id

      If your camera produces multiple streams and you do not specify a stream ID, Media Server ingests the stream that is configured as the default in the Milestone XProtect system.

  • to ingest video using the Genetec Ingest Engine, specify a camera logical ID.
