Camera

This page guides you through connecting cameras to EVA and provides detailed camera specifications.



Simple Connection​

Just enter the RTSP address to register a camera in EVA and freely adjust AI analysis settings.

EVA attempts to connect immediately upon entering an IP camera’s RTSP streaming address. If the connection is successful, it pulls real-time video and automatically starts AI analysis. Registration is quick and requires no complex configuration.

Registration Steps​

  1. Click the New Camera button on the EVA dashboard.
  2. Enter only the Camera Name and RTSP Address.
    • Example: rtsp://username:password@192.168.1.100:554/stream
  3. Connection test runs automatically; a still image from the camera appears upon success.
  4. Registration complete! EVA periodically captures frames and performs AI analysis.
  5. Monitor real-time status (connection, event count, etc.) directly on the dashboard.

⚠️ Connection will fail if the RTSP address is incorrect or there are network issues. Please maintain stable camera and network conditions.



Camera Management​

You can freely modify analysis settings for registered cameras, but camera name and streaming address cannot be changed. To update these, delete and re-register the camera.

Edit Method​

  1. Click the target camera in the dashboard list → go to the detail page
  2. Click the pencil icon (Edit) in the top-right corner
  3. Freely modify the following:
    • Detection scenario
    • Target objects
    • Alarm channel settings
    • Analysis interval, etc.
  4. Click Save → changes applied immediately

Delete Method​

  1. Click the trash icon (Delete) on the detail page
  2. Confirm by selecting Delete in the popup
  3. All data for that camera (analysis history, settings, etc.) is permanently removed

ℹ️ Refer to Write Detection Scenario and Configuration Target for detection scenario and target object settings.



Supported Addresses and Camera Requirements​

EVA primarily supports RTSP protocol and requires the following conditions for stable real-time streaming.

Supported Address Formats​

ProtocolExample Address
RTSP (Recommended)rtsp://[user]:[pass]@[IP]:[port]/[path]
RTMPrtmp://[IP]:[port]/[app]/[stream]
HTTPS (MJPEG)https://[IP]/video.mjpg

Required Camera Specifications​

ItemRequirement
Resolution720p or higher recommended (minimum 640x480)
Frame Rate5fps or higher (linked to analysis interval)
CodecH.264 / H.265 (limited MJPEG support)
NetworkStable wired or Wi-Fi (public IP or port forwarding if needed)
AuthenticationID/PW can be included in RTSP address

Connection Tips​

  • Use internal IP when on the same network
  • For external access: set up DDNS + port forwarding or VPN
  • Open RTSP port (default: 554) in the firewall

Maximum Connectable Cameras​

The maximum number of cameras that can be connected depends on the EVA server’s hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, network bandwidth, etc.). Higher-performance servers can stably handle more cameras simultaneously.

Example: Standard server → 4–8 cameras / High-performance server → 32+ cameras (reference only)
