C-Werk supports connecting devices via the Chinese standard GB/T28181. As of when this document was written, C-Werk supports H.264 video and telemetry. For the most up-to-date information on this standard and the features supported in C-Werk, see the Documentation Drivers Pack.

Configuration of IP devices connected via GB/T28181 is performed through the web interface of the devices. Settings are not sent from C-Werk to the device.

Before connecting a camera via this protocol to C-Werk, perform the following steps to configure the device:

  1. Set the Server IP to equal the Server's IP address.
  2. Set the Server port to 5060.
  3. Set the Device ID. The ID should be set on all cameras connected via the GB/T28181 protocol and must be unique.
  4. For the device to perform autodiscovery of the Server more quickly, reduce the default value of RefreshRegTime. The name of this setting may vary on some cameras.

For telemetry to work correctly, set RefreshRegTime to more than 600.

For a camera to work correctly via GB/T28181, it must be on the same LAN as the Server.

Addition of cameras via GB/T28181 to C-Werk must be performed manually.

After configuring the device as described earlier, add it to C-Werk as follows:

  1. Run the IP discovery wizard (see Adding and removing IP devices).
  2. In the form for manually adding an IP device, in the Manufacturer list, select GBT28181 (1).

  3. In the IP field, enter the Device ID used for configuring the IP device (2).
  4. In the Port field, enter 5060 (2).
  5. Enter the user name and password for connecting to the device (3).
  6. Click the  button.

Connection of the camera via GB/T28181 is now complete.
