Hello,

I am trying to run testcamera by this command - testcamera -I 127.0.0.1 "files=detected_girl.mp4; count=8"

The server is started, I read that the result of the cameras are shown in nx:meta app, in auto discovered server.

But, In nxmeta app, the autodiscovered server is not shown- 

I am using windows, my ipconfig is -

Where to see the results of the testcamera?

Thanks

  Hello SHANMUGARAJ,

  The server is started, I read that the result of the cameras are shown in nx:meta app, in auto discovered server.

  The message "server started at 4985" means the testcamera has started its internal server process for accepting discovery messages from the mediaserver.
  
  1. You need to start the mediaserver service.
  

  On Windows, once MetaVMS mediaserver is installed, the mediaserver service is set to start automatically, but you can start it manually with the command with administrator rights:

  sc start metavmsMediaServer

  2. Log in to the Server via NxMeta client application.

  The Server should detect and show testcameras in the device tree.

  Hi @...

  It's pretty simple. Run the test camera emulator on the same subnet as the NX Witness mediaserver or on the NX Witness mediaserver and assure autodiscovery is enabled. 

  Start the testcamera emulator and wait a few minutes to allow the server to discover and add the generated testcameras

  Hi SHANMUGARAJ,

  In addition to said, you can open RTSP stream via Video API of the Server. See the screenshot.

  

  You can find camera id in the "Camera Setting" window of a testcamera.

  

  Here is an example

  SHANMUGARAJ,

   

  You can use the getCamerasEx API function to get the list of camera with their attributes, including ID.
