Chapter 5. VMS Client

Connect to the VMS Server

1. Click the button to connect to the VMS server.

2. In the VMS server list, click the button at the bottom of the list to add a new account. Or click the button to edit the server connection information.

3. In the connection edit dialog, enter the required connection information.

a. The Remote Port must match the number defined in the VMS server configuration. (The default value is 3300.)

b. The User ID/PW, which is also defined in the VMS server configuration, must have privileges for remote connection.

c. If you switch on I-Frame only live decoding, the VMS server will transmit only iFrames for live video.

d. If you switch on Auto Stream Seletion to automatically selects the most appropriate primary or sub-stream based on the video size.

· This feature is particularly effective for UHD cameras (e.g., 4K), which require significant decoding resources. For multi-channel display, a lower-resolution sub-stream is used to reduce system load. The UHD primary stream is used only for single-channel display.

· It is available only when the preferred streams for single- and multi-channel display are properly configured on the VMS server.
