Virtual cameras

-----------------------------------Affected Roles: All UsersLast Edit: August 19, 2024-----------------------------------Virtual PortsThe VMAX IP Plus recording unit features a local PoE switch (15.4W per PoE channel) that is locally integrated into the unit. By connecting cameras directly to the onboard PoE switch, most IP cameras can be easily powered and added to the recording unit.When communicating with IP cameras over a network, the use of the IP address and port number of the device are required. However, cameras that are connected through the onboard PoE switch of the VMAX IP Plus are assigned to a virtual port and the NVR's sub-network, meaning that the IP addresses that are assigned to the cameras differ from the common IP address scheme of the network.This article will outline how virtual ports are assigned to cameras that are connected to the VMAX IP Plus, as well as how to connect with the cameras using a web browser.Note: To access cameras through the NVR’s Virtual Ports, the VMAX IP Plus must be connected and set up on a local network. To learn more about setting up the network settings, please read Network Setup For The VMAX IP Plus.Supported/Affected Devices VMAX IP Plus Series VMAX® IP G4 DW IP Cameras Address AssignmentWhen attempting to connect with a camera’s web client to manage settings or monitor video streams, users normally must connect their computer directly to the camera’s PoE switch and assign the NIC card so that the computer can identify on the network.However, through the use of Virtual Ports, users can connect with the cameras through the NVR, without having to physically connect a computer to the onboard PoE switch of the VMAX IP Plus.When cameras are connected to the NVR’s PoE switch, they are assigned to an IP address that differs from the IP address scheme of the NVR itself. This allows the NVR to manage its connected cameras with less interference from other devices that may be on the network.For example, if a VMAX IP Plus is assigned to an IP address of 192.168.10.201, and its cameras are assigned to an IP scheme of 10.0.0.x, the NVR knows that when communicating through its PoE switch to use a 10.0.0.x scheme.This setting can be managed in the Network menu of the NVR.Virtual Port AssignmentWhere a user would normally have to physically connect their computer to the NVR’s PoE switch to access a camera’s web Graphical User Interface (GUI), if the computer is connected to the same router network as the NVR, the user can access the camera through its assigned Virtual Port.Virtual ports are assigned to the VMAX IP Plus’s cameras depending on the physical PoE port that they are plugged into.Using the table above, if a camera

With the playback and speed control shuttle bar, you can fast-forward and rewind the video by dragging the button respectively. QNAP QvPC technology provides a straightforward way to reduce the total costs in your SOHO and SMB environment. Live View With Surveillance Station, users can easily manage & monitor multiple IP cameras on a real-time basis using web browsers, and attain first-hand status of monitored areas. You can directly manage your PTZ and fisheye cameras and flexibly monitor every desired area and detail. With default display modes and user-defined views, you can easily and flexibly manage your surveillance system. QNAP Dewarp Technology for Various Monitoring Applications QNAP’s Qdewarp is a generic fisheye dewarp technology that works without affecting original recordings. With Qdewarp, if the fisheye camera is on our capability list, you can choose from many dewarping modes in the remote monitoring page for various monitoring applications, and are not limited to vendor-specific dewarping modes. For more information, please refer to the tutorial. Virtual Camera with Image Cropping Megapixel cameras have become mainstream for larger recording areas and higher resolution footages. You can define a focused area, such as an exit, as a virtual camera on the Surveillance Settings page. You can simulate up to four virtual cameras as extended cameras of a physical camera. No additional camera licenses are required. You can view physical cameras and virtual cameras in the same view. For more information, please refer to the tutorial. ROI (Region of Interest) for 1O*R View High-resolution cameras (such as 4K) can cover a much larger area than traditional ones. We support ROI mode on the remote monitoring page. If you want to see the original image and multiple regional images from the same camera in one view, you can select a 5 or 7 split view to define multiple focused areas on the overview image. No additional camera licenses are required. For more information, please refer to the

The film employs cutting-edge water simulation techniques developed by Weta FX. These simulations

Problem with virtual machines If virtual machines are such an effective, isolated and secure thing, then why doesn’t everyone use it?As we have established above, virtual machines and Dockers are not real machines, they are emulation of one, an environment. Which confuses many programs that need to get information about the machine they are working on, or to utilize systems resources they do not have access to. For example, if a program is designed to work with web camera images, it might not do what it is supposed to do in a virtual machine that doesn’t have the rights to access USB devices.Besides, running virtual machines can be CPU-intensive on some weaker computers, so it probably won’t be a great idea to create a virtual machine to run top video editors notorious for their hungry requirements.As for Dockers, not each program supports work in one as it might structurally need to access resources, libraries, files that are not included into their own container. In such a case it might work perfectly well in a real computer and fail to work properly in a container – and not every manufacturer dedicated to spend precious resources and time on developing a workaround for Dockers, if that is not what forms a substantive share of their market. Video surveillance in virtual machinesLuckily, there are video surveillance solutions in the market that can work in a virtual environment as well as on physical machines. Xeoma is one of such software that helps have a video surveillance system running in a virtual machine or Docker. If you haven’t yet heard about it, here is an extensive presentation of Xeoma. Xeoma has a Trial version with almost all features that doesn’t require licensing so it might work in either physical or virtual machines without any difference. If a Trial edition of Xeoma is used, the only VM-connected concern might be accessing USB cameras (web cameras). If you are going to use Xeoma with USB cameras in your virtual machine, simply make sure that the VM has access to USB devices.Xeoma also has 4 commercial editions (Xeoma
