*Note*
There is no default password for Hikvision cameras, the password would have been created on initial installation. 
If you are unsure of the password , please contact the company or technician that did the initial installation.

 
A live view page will be displayed on successful login.

Click on the configuration menu option to access the device configuration options.

A menu will be displayed on the left hand side of the screen.
From the menu , select video/audio

The Video and Audio configuration options will be displayed in the main page on the right hand side.
The user will have the option of selecting from different Stream Types in this section.
Each camera has multiple stream's that are independently configurable.

The reason for this is that you may want to Record in the highest quality possible , but conserve bandwidth when live streaming or remote viewing the cameras off site.

This feature allows you to streamline your live viewing experience without compromising on the recorded footage.
Each camera will have a minimum of two Streams, this is the Main Stream and the Sub-stream .
Avlytics uses the Sub-stream to Analyse and detect events.
The CCTV Recorder will use the Main stream to Record video.

Please configure the Sub-stream to the specification required for your Avlytics Device Type.
Select Sub-stream.

The options available under the Stream Type row are updated when the stream type is selected.
The available options all relate to the Sub-stream ONLY and will not have any impact on the recorded footage on the dvr or nvr.
The Avlytics devices Analyse video at 6 Frames per second.
Set the "Frame Rate : " option to 6 fps.
The Resolution and Max Bitrate options depend on which Avlytics device is being used.

For AVT-308 or BRT Devices :
Set the "Resolution : " to 352 x 266 or the closest alternative.
Set the "Max Bitrate : " to 512 kbps

For AVT316 or Higher devices :
Set the "Resolution : " to 640 x 480 or the closest alternative.
Set the "Max Bitrate : " to 1024 kbps

 
The Video Quality and Bitrate Type options are for more advanced configurations as are not required to be set for the Avlytics device to Analyse the stream.

Thank  you for choosing Avlytics !
