The Genetec™ Web Player is a web library used to display Security Center camera audio and video in any web page.
This library is intended for web developers and is designed to be used with Javascript or Typescript code. It is lightweight and easy to integrate in existing web pages because it doesn't depend on any other library or framework.
The Genetec™ Web Player library can be used to show live streams, control PTZ cameras, and play back recorded sequences. It also provides a list of time ranges that can be used to create timeline controls. The integrated player supports various play speeds along with pause and resume commands.
The website displaying the library must be hosted on an independent web server. After loading the webpage in your browser, the Genetec™ Web Player must be connected to an accessible Security Center Media Gateway. WebSocket protocol is used for this connection.
By default, transcoding is disabled on the Media Gateway role because of its intensive CPU requirement. As a result, video codecs incompatible with your browser are not playable and an Unsupported codec error is displayed in the player. If full compatibility with all cameras is required, you can enable transcoding in Media Gateway role configurations.For more information on Genetec™ Web Player integration, see the Security Center SDK Help guide (GTAP login required).
