How to playback the SD card recordings in OC from a camera added as Local Storage in BVMS?
Preconditions for local storage playback to work:
Secure Connection must be disabled for the camera.
With that the UDP encryption in the camera is also turned off.
Video should not be stored encrypted
global CHAP password must be configured in BVMS.
If there is an existing User level password set on the camera the same password needs to be configured for the CHAP password.
The background is that with setting that password on the camera, a CHAP password is also set on the SD card.
Network services - HTTP and iSCSI needs to be active in the camera
Note
Please avoid using "%' character when assigning passwords. By using the "%" character could result in no recording on the SD card.
Step-by-step guide
You can set the same password for "service" and "user" from Configuration Manager by accessing the camera > General > User Management > click on the settings wheel icon for both users: "service" and "user"
Set the same password for both users: "service" and "user"
Save these changes
Be sure that the "Access protection enforcement" and "Password policy enforcement" are enabled. Go to Service > Compatibility > Tick the boxes if they have not already been ticked
Open Configuration Client > Add your camera in the Local Storage if it hasn't already been added > Go to Hardware > Change device passwords
Here you have to add the same password for both users "service" and "user", same password as you added before in Configuration Manager.
Now, go to Hardware > Protect iSCSI storages with CHAP password and add the same password in the CHAP password field and click Apply.
Note: Be sure that the recording is activated on your camera → the red dot button has to blink → In Configuration Client select your camera > Recording > Recording Management:
Now, disable the Secure Connection on the camera. Right click on your camera > select Edit Encoder
Ensure that HTTP & iSCSI service is enabled for the cameras
Note: CPP14 devices, HTTP & iSCSI is disabled by default.
Uncheck the box next to the "Secure Connection" > click OK
Do not forget to Add the cameras in the “Logical Tree” from “Maps and Structure”.
Drag and drop the camera from Device Tree to Logical Tree:
Save and Activate the changes.
Open Operator Client > select Playback Mode (1) > drag and drop the camera from Logical Tree to the Image Pane area (2) > you will see the SD card recordings (3) > click Play forward (4) and see the recorded video from your camera
