It is possible for the Client to automatically connect to Servers on different C-Werk domains - Multi Domain Client.
For this to take place, the following conditions must be true:
Configuration of automatic connection to Servers on different C-Werk domains is performed as follows:
Go to Settings → Options → Automatic connection (1–2).
Configuring the protocol used by Clients to connect to the Server allows prioritizing reliability or speed of data transmission (3).The connection protocol is set individually for each Server in an C-Werk-domain. All Clients connected to the Server will receive video streams over the selected protocol.
Descriptions and recommendations for selecting a protocol are given in the table.
Protocol | Description |
---|---|
Auto | The Server automatically determines the most appropriate protocol based on the situation (number of connected cameras and clients, as well as available network bandwidth). |
TCP | This protocol is more reliable but bandwidth-intensive. Recommended for Servers with small numbers of cameras. |
UDP unicast | UDP is typically faster but less reliable for data transmission. Unicast involves data transmission to a single recipient. |
UDP multicast | This protocol is best for Servers with many cameras connected to a single Client. Multicast refers to data transmission to a group of recipients. This protocol is designed for Servers with many cameras connected to multiple Clients. |
Indicate the port for connecting to the Server (6).
If the Port field is left blank, the standard port (49999) will be used for connecting |
Click the Add button (7).
It is possible to connect to only one Server on an C-Werk domain. So when a Server is added to the list, all other Servers on the C-Werk domain become unavailable for selection |
To remove a Server from the list, click the |
Autoconnection to Servers on different C-Werk time C-Werk is started, connection to the selected Servers with the specified user credentials will occur automatically.
If a Client is connected to multiple C-Werk domains, some of the settings on the Options tab (user interface, data storage, export, alarm management, and schedules) are duplicated for each C-Werk domain; some are configured only for the main C-Werk domain.
Click Save (1) to save the automatic server connection configuration.
When connecting the client to other C-Werk domain servers, you can load a saved configuration by clicking Load (2).
You can also load a saved configuration after restoring the system using the appropriate utility (see Backup and Restore Utility). |
