The number of video streams and amount of traffic that Security Center 5.13 can deliver vary depending on several factors. These factors include, for example, the camera stream settings, the Media Gateway role settings, the video resolution, and the performance of the server that hosts the Web App Server role.
The Media Gateway role is used by Genetec™ Mobile and
Genetec™ Web App to get transcoded video from Security Center. The Media Gateway role supports
the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), which external applications can use to request raw
video streams from Security Center.
The stream settings are configured in Config Tool. For more information, see the
following topics:
The Web App Server sends the video stream that best fits the size of the video tile
in the Genetec™ Web App requesting the
video.
