In the Pierre system, NVRs (Network Video Recorders) can be integrated to manage streams from multiple cameras, where each camera is assigned its own channel. To view the video feed from each camera, users need to enter the correct stream path for each channel into the Pierre app.
• Channel-Based Setup: Each camera connected to the NVR has a dedicated channel. The user must input the stream path associated with the specific channel to view the video in the Pierre app.
• Local and Remote Access: If accessing the camera feed locally, users enter the local IP address of the NVR along with the channel information. For remote access, such as viewing the camera feed when outside the local network, the public IP address of the NVR must be used in combination with the channel details.
This setup provides flexible viewing options for both local and remote monitoring, ensuring seamless integration of camera feeds into the Pierre ecosystem
How do cameras connect to the Controller?
Cameras are connected to the Pierre system either via NVR (for analog cameras) or through the network (IP cameras). There is no need to run cables directly to the Controller.
Can analog cameras be connected directly to PIERRE?
No, analog cameras must be connected to an NVR, and the video stream from the NVR can then be integrated into the PIERRE app.
Which cameras can be integrated into the system?
Any IP camera that supports the RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) protocol. The camera must be externally accessible, with a static IP address.
Do the cameras need to be connected to the Controller?
Cameras are internet-based devices and cannot be directly connected to the Controller.
What recording options are available for cameras?
The best solution is to use a network video recorder (NVR) system. The cameras connect to this hub.
What cables should be used for camera wiring?
The PIERRE system does not require direct wiring for cameras, as they connect to the NVR system via the internet or the local network. The NVR handles the recording, and the recorded videos can be viewed through the NVR. The Pierre system only integrates live camera feeds.
Should all camera cables go to the control panel (electrical switchboard)?
There is no need for wiring directly to the PIERRE system, as the NVR connects to the cameras via the internet or the local network. The NVR handles the recording, and the recorded videos can be accessed through it. The Pierre system only integrates live camera feeds.
