Streaming Cameras

When a camera stream is opened, Cordatus Stream Engine establishes a connection with the camera and begins displaying the stream. If the connection cannot be established or is lost during streaming, Cordatus attempts to reconnect to the camera. The initial reconnection attempt is made after 5 seconds, followed by subsequent attempts after 10 seconds and then 20 seconds. These intervals continue to increase until reaching 600 seconds by multiplying the current interval by 2. After reaching this maximum interval, Cordatus attempts to reconnect to the camera every 10 minutes.

You have the ability to view all raw camera streams using both Cordatus Client and Cordatus Web App.

2. Click on that camera from which you want to display stream.
3. On the modal titled Select a target device that appears, choose the device where you want the incoming stream to be decoded.
4. Click the Select button to view your stream.
