If you are plugging your Vehicle/Raspberry Pi/Other Device directly into your
laptop via an ethernet cable/adapter/dongle, please see the Network Setup
Guide first.
Click the “Plus” Icon on the bottom-right side of the page. This will add a “Video Card”.This page will contain your “Cards”. Each card has 2 input fields and 2 buttons. We will go over what each of these do.
These fields specify the Port number and Frame Rate of your camera. Together, your the IP and Port number make the streaming endpoint.
The IP address is preset to be your topside-computer’s IPv4 address.
For best performance, make sure the Recording FPS is set to match with the framerate selected in DWE_OS, or what the camera runs natively if untouched.
When there is no active video stream, the input fields will look like this, and you will be able to modify these fields.
When there is an active video stream, the port input fields will be greyed out. It will look like this, and you will not be able to modify the port field unless you stop the current video stream.
When there is no active video stream, the button will look like this, and you will not be able to click it.
When there is an active video stream and the video is not recording, the button will look like this, and you will be able to click it to start a recording.
When there is an active video stream and the video is actively recording, the button will look like this, and you will be able to click it to end a recording.
Before we start streaming, however, it is recommended to change some settings to reflect your specific system.Using the left-side navigation bar, you can head to the settings page by clicking the “gear”/settings icon.
Each card contains settings for various options in the software.
Here, you can change the naming scheme for each saved recording. We recommend keeping the default options. However, you are free to adjust the settings as you want. The following are “Keys” you can use in your filenames:
$IP : The IP address of the machine running Discovery / the machine being streamed to.
example: 192.168.2.1
$PORT : The Port number of the camera you are going to be recording.
example: 5600
$DATE : The current system date in the following format: MM-DD-YYYY
example: 09-07-2023
$TIME : The current system time in 24-HR format with the following formatting: HHhMMmSSs
To activate your license for Discovery, click “Activate New License”.Enter your license key in the field labeled “License Key”.
Please ensure you have an active internet connection during activation.
After a successful activation, you will see a success screen.
If you ever plan on resetting your operating system or if you will no longer
have your device in possession, please unlink your license from the
machine to avoid any future troubles. Click here for more
information.
Each license is bound to a specific machine. To utilize your license following a computer reset or on an alternative machine, you must first unlink it from the current machine.If you own a multi-machine license, you don’t need to unlink your license for each machine you add.
For example, if you own a 3-Machine License, you can use your license key for up to 3 machines without needing to use the unlinking process.
If you have 3-machines currently linked, you will need to unlink your license from a previous machine, in order to use Discovery on a different 4th machine.
