• Video options provided by VLC

1. Install latest VideoLAN VLC x86 (32 bit) version on the TERRA 4D client
2. Add the VLC installation directory to the global path variable of Windows (typically: C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\)
3. TERRA 4D Configurator: create a subsystem plugin device VLC with default settings
4. TERRA 4D Configurator: create a camera of type VLC and assign the media path
5. Examples for media path:
   • Axis: rtsp://root:pass@192.168.214.247/axis-media/media.amp
   • Avigilon: rtsp://root:pass@192.168.214.249/defaultPrimary?streamType=u
