MxRemotePreview Release 1.0

MxRemotePreview is a software component to improve the MxControlCenter's direct access to file servers via low bandwidth connections - e.g. via the Internet and a VPN tunnel. It is installed as a CGI program within a web server environment.

MxRemotePreview needs fast (high bandwidth) access to the MOBOTIX camera recordings on a file server.

MxControlCenter then does not retrieve the original stored audio/video data directly from the file server but sends a data request to the web server, which in turn calls MxRemotePreview for certain file types.

MxRemotePreview reads the original large data files, REDUCES them by recoding the video content with a reduced frame rate, resolution and/or JPEG quality and delivers only the reduced data back to MxControlCenter.

=> Instead of the original large audio/video data files, only the reduced, much smaller ones have to be transmitted via the network. MxControlCenter thus gets the requested files fast enough to build up its event list and to play back the audio/video data.

To use MxRemotePreview, you currently need either a Windows file server with an additional web server installed (Apache or IIS) or a NAS as file server and a locally connected additional server machine with just a web server and MxRemotePreview installed.
