      Camera Best Practices

      • Ensure the camera is ONVIF Profile S or T compatible and set to H.264
      • Be sure the camera is on the latest released Firmware for the make/model
      • It is best to have the camera on Static IP, or a Reserved DHCP address
        • You can find the current camera IP by using the ONVIF Utility (or camera specific program)
      • Enable a High and Low/Med resolution stream within the cameras web interface and enable both in QxControl under the Camera section.  These must be the same aspect ratio to be detected properly by QxControl
      • Ensure that the GOP (Group of Pictures) for the ONVIF stream (this is sometimes a separate setting) is set to at least twice that of your frame rate.  Note that ONVIF measures the GOP in frames, not seconds. 
        • Ex:  If my camera is set to 15FPS, my GOP should be a minimum of 30
        • Disable any Dynamic setting for the camera.  (Dynamic GOP/Intraframe/Framerate)
      • At least one motion window/zone should be setup within the camera
      • Configure any analytics in the camera desired
        • Ex: Line crossing, intrusion, loitering, enter, exit, appear, disappear, and face detection
      • Any constantly moving items such as trees should not be included in the motion zone if possible.
