EZCLOUD REGISTRATION

Uniview provides a web portal to sign up and register an account with EZCloud. http://en.ezcloud.uniview.com It is recommended that Internet Explorer 8 or higher be used to view the web portal.

.

There are a few aspects to note about the web portal:

.

.

An account can also be registered through the EZView smart phone application. See Adding A Device -> EZView

.

ACCOUNT SIGN UP

.

Signing up an account is very similar to most other online account registration as seen from the image above. Enter in the proper information requested such as the Username, Password and a valid Email

address. Click the Acquire button to receive a registration email which provides a Verification Code. Please note that the email may take several minutes to arrive.

.

Enter the Verification Code into the box provided and click the Sign-up button to register the new EZCloud account.

.

PRO TIP: Integrators and Installers can setup an account and then share device access to customer accounts for managing multiple devices and providing support later.

.

.

ACCOUNT LOGIN

.

.

Login either with the Username or registered Email address created previously for account management. If the password has been forgotten, there is a link provide for password retrieval.

.

EZCLOUD MANAGEMENT

Once the register code is located, there are three different ways to add and manage devices on an existing EZCloud account; through the EZCloud web portal, through the EZView smart phone application and through the EZStation CMS.

EZCloud Quick Install Guide v2

.

REGISTER CODE

The Register Code is a unique 26 digit & character string that is used to connect a device to the EZCloud service. This code also comes in a QR format for quick scanning. There are a few places you can find the Register Code:

.

Note the QR Code on the sticker for quick adding the device to an EZCloud account via the EZView smart phone application (more on the EZView app later in this guide).

.

The myCloud feature is toggled on by default. Please note that a new myCloud account cannot be registered from the recorder interface.

.

NOTE: On some device firmware versions Uniview uses the title myCloud rather than EZCloud. The URL containing myCloud will redirect to the proper EZCloud URL accordingly.

.

.

.

NOTE: Currently (as of December 2015), the web interface of Uniview devices will only work properly on Internet Explorer version 8 or higher.

.

EZCLOUD WEB

.

.

.

Once logged into the EZCloud web portal (as described in the EZCloud Registration guide section above), the backend will appear as the image shown above. To add a device, click the + Add Device button and a new webpage will display with entry boxes for both the Register Code and Device Name. The Register Code is the 26 digit and character string detailed in the section above. The Device Name is a title that represents the device being registered (e.g. Office B, 123 Elm St, ABC Company, etc.)

.

.

After clicking the Add button, the Device List will appear again with the newly registered device listed under My Cloud Devices. If the P2P service plug-in was not previously installed, the follow message will appear on the upper most portion of the web page:

Click the Download link and install the plug-in (the computer may have to be restarted to complete the install) After rebooting the Windows PC and accessing the EZCloud backend again, there may be a similar message on the lower portion of the web page as follows:

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

On the management page, there are three different sections: My Cloud Devices, Shared Cloud Devices and Sharing Records.

.

.

MY CLOUD DEVICES

The My Cloud Devices section of the EZCloud management page lists all added devices to the registered account. The devices can be navigated using a simple interface utilizing arrows to browse through the results (see toolbar at the bottom of each section).

.

As with the following sections, there are multiple columns that denote information that pertains to the recorder(s) registered to the account.

.

• Device Name – the name given to the device when it was first registered.

• Device Type – the model # of the registered device

• Device IP – the external IP address of the registered device

• Latest Online Time – the time the device was last detected to be online

• Status – indicates whether the device is Online, Offline or having a network error

• Share Device – a link that provides a menu to share the registered device:

NOTE: The ‘Share To’ input box receives the email or username of the account being shared to. A date and time can be set indicating how long the device will be shared. A specific user group can be selected defining the rights given to the shared device. Finally, a description can be entered to let the user know details that represent the device.

• Change Name – a link that allows the user to change the name of the device

• Retrieve Password – allows the user to generate an overriding password in the case of a forgotten password:

.

NOTE: All information will be entered automatically into the above form as it pulls it from the registered device. By clicking the Acquire button, the form will send an email with the verification code. Enter the verification code into the input box and click Retrieve to receive a password. The generated password will only work for the valid date and only if the device is properly set to the valid date. If the date is set incorrectly on the device, adjust accordingly on the Retrieve Password web page.

.

SHARED CLOUD DEVICES

The Shared Cloud Devices section displays a list of devices that were shared to the registered account. The columns of information in this section are very similar to My Cloud Devices, however there are some unique information displayed for shared devices.

.

.

All other columns such as Status, Change Name, Access Device and so forth, function exactly the same as in the My Cloud Devices section.

.

SHARING RECORDS

The Sharing Records section displays a list of devices that have been shared by the registered account. As with the previous sections, there are some columns of note.

.

EZVIEW

.

EZView is Uniview’s smart phone application for monitoring, configuring and managing multiple camera systems. Typically, a device will be added to an EZCloud account using the EZView app due to the ability to forgo using a computer for set up.

.

REGISTER (EZVIEW)

On the main screen, there is an icon in the upper left-hand corner that appears to be like three lines stacked. This is the main menu button. Click the main menu button and then click the P2P Account link at the top of the menu. This will bring up a Login screen that also has a few notable links. The first is the Sign-Up link that will allow for a new account to be registered through the app (similar to the web portal method detailed earlier in this guide). The second link, Forgot Password, gives a similar menu to allow for an email verification and password change.

.

Once logged in to the registered EZCloud account, the P2P Account menu will appear (referenced above). On the P2P Account menu there are a few minor options which include the ability to change the account’s username and password. The My Sharing Records menu lists all instances of when devices have been shared from the current account and sharing can be canceled on any of these instances.

.

My Devices links to the Devices menu which displays all devices added to EZView (includes MyCloud Devices). See the third image above; there are different icons that indicate what kind of device is being listed. The light blue recorder with a cloud symbol indicates a device added via EZCloud and the teal recorder with the share icon indicates devices that have been shared via EZCloud.

.

ADD A DEVICE (EZVIEW)

To add a new device to EZCloud, click the small + icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Devices menu. Below is an image of the Add Device menu.

.

The Add Device menu contains the following options:

.

.

The Save button in the upper right (looks like a floppy disk) will add the device to the logged in registered account. The Start Live Preview button will not only add the device, but it will also launch all cameras in Live View.

NOTE: A registered EZCloud account must be logged in before adding a new device via P2P.

.

EZSTATION

.

EZStation is Uniview’s CMS software that allows for monitoring, configuring and managing multiple camera systems on a Windows PC. NOTE: Currently (as of December 2015) there is no CMS software developed for Apple Mac computers.

.

REGISTER (EZSTATION)

Registration of a new EZCloud account is straight forward; on the Home Screen (shown above) click the Device Management tile and then click the Cloud Device on the left toolbar under the Device tab. By clicking the Register button, the EZStation software will launch an Internet Explorer browser window to register an account online. The process of registering on the EZCloud web portal is located in the EZCloud Registration section of this guide.

.

Once registered (or if already registered) click the Login button to enter in the login credentials for the EZCloud account of choice. Other options include Auto Login, applying for an account from the login menu and account password recovery.

.

DEVICE MANAGEMENT (EZSTATION)

.

There are two main sections of interest here: the My Cloud Device list and the Shared Cloud Device list. Above those two lists are a header with the currently logged in EZCloud account, a Refresh link to refresh the current lists, a Switch Account link which launches a new login menu for account switching and a Logout link.

.

MY CLOUD DEVICE (EZSTATION)

The My Cloud Device list is dedicated to managing devices that have been added to the registered EZCloud account. The toolbar has the following features:

.

.

SHARED CLOUD DEVICE (EZSTATION)

The Shared Cloud Device list displays the devices that have been shared to the currently logged in account. If the integrator opts to share cloud devices with the end user, then the end user will be utilizing this list to see the status and have access to those devices. The toolbar has the following features:

.

Viewing and configuring the cloud devices listed in the Cloud Device menu is the same as any of the other device types on the Device Management page. Please see Uniview’s help file by clicking the User Manual button the topmost toolbar in the upper right of the EZStation software, to learn about how to group devices to prepare them for live viewing.

.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Cloud Update (firmware) will not function unless the device is registered to an EZCloud account.

.

EZView has a speed test function that allows the user to find the upload speed for a device registered to the currently logged in EZCloud account.

.

A device can only be registered to one EZCloud account. All other accounts need the device to be shared to them by the EZCloud account that the device was originally registered to unless the device is deleted from the original account’s device list.

.

EZCloud may be referred to as MyCloud on older firmware versions.

.

P2P refers to Peer-To-Peer. A “Cloud” device refers to, in the case of EZCloud, a device that has been registered to EZCloud for remote connection (not a remote storage medium). The way P2P works is that the device connects to the EZCloud server and then to the end user. The EZCloud acts as a go between, rather than having to open up ports (pinholes, virtual servers, etc.) to allow remote access to offsite clients. This is the preferred method of remote connection since open ports can pose a security risk and can be difficult to setup on complex networks (especially when a firewall is implemented).

Also, many satellite internet service providers and mobile hotspots will not allow ports to be opened unless a static IP is purchased (usually at a premium).

It means you can check out who is on your door before opening it while at your own home. You only need to check the video clip camera to see who your visitor is. 

So it will be easy to distance yourself from unwanted visitors and save your property more securely. Stay with us to get more information about these useful and popular cameras.

The Control Center provides users with a highly customizable platform for viewing live and recorded video.

Features include:

• Each Control Center enables the user to view up to sixteen live and archived video sources per monitor, with multiple monitors supported on each workstation.
• Full control of content playback with powerful time line controls.
• Powerful query capability to assist in locating specific content or identifying recordings associated with motion events.
• Monitor and manage alarms.
• With proper hardware and encoders (or IP cameras) video can be viewed at full motion (30 fps NTSC, 25 fps PAL) 4CIF quality.
• Detailed Help information on all facets of the system.

Click here to view details of how to use the Help features.

Other major application features include:

• Audio and video independence. Audio inputs and outputs are no longer tied to a video source. The relationship between the two types of media in the system has been transformed from one-to-one to many-to-many, giving users the ability to mix audio sources and link any combination of such sources to multiple camera scenes.
• Sequences and Layout tours allowing multiple scenes to be displayed in predefined sequences and for defined durations.
• PTZ Control and Digital Zoom – integrated into a single intuitive interface, which enables users to easily take advantage of the best available tool without having to switch windows. Digital and analog PTZ functions can also be controlled directly from the tile using a mouse with a scroll-wheel.
• Multiple-source bookmarking. Bookmarks are now augmented by incidents, a powerful feature that enables users to associate multiple media sources to a single occurrence simply by highlighting multiple tiles prior to clicking the bookmark button. The set of bookmarks created this way constitutes a single incident.
• Full alarm management capabilities.
• Inter maps. Multiple maps and web pages can now be placed in each site.
• Instant replays with or without alternative content arming. The user can choose to allow instant replay of the buffered video either in the next available tile or only in armed tiles specified for alternative content. Alternative content tile arming is similar to alarm arming but used for instant replays. This enables users to determine in advance where and how the alternative content is displayed.
• Workspace customization. The location and size of all workspace areas other than the Application Menu can be modified.
• Simplified and enhanced navigation. All logical entities are now shown in a single Navigation Tree.

General

The Video General sub-menu has the following sections:

• Settings
• Quality
• Hardware Acceleration

Settings

Maintain aspect ratio

Li Maintain aspect ratio (default ON) This controls how video scenes are displayed in the Control Center.

the display has ‘frames’ to fill the unoccupied
portions of the tile.

the display stretches to fill the available tile.

Note: This setting can be toggled in real time for individual tiles by selecting the tile and clicking Shift-R on the keyboard.

Adaptive Streaming

U Adaptive streaming (default ON) – This enables the system to choose the optimum available stream from a camera, depending on the size of the viewing tile. The system selects a high-resolution stream when the image displays in larger tiles or full-screen mode. When the viewing tile is smaller, lower resolution is needed, so a lower-resolution stream can be chosen.

Adaptive Streaming – Shows Resolution Changes between Large and Regular Viewing Panes

Adaptive Streaming is currently available with FLIR and DVTEL’s Ariel, Quasar, and Quasar Gen 2 edge devices.

Adaptive streaming is enabled by default, but can be disabled on each ControlCenter by deselecting this option. It can be disabled for an individual camera using the Context menu in an open camera Viewing Tile.

Quality

The system uses various video filters to improve the appearance of displayed scenes. Filters consume system resources, so the user can switch them off on client machines with performance limitations.

The Video Quality sub-menu specifies whether the following filters are applied:

i_i Deinterlacing (default ON)

Deinterlacing is the process of converting interlaced video, such as 1080i format HDTV signals, into a non-interlaced form.

U Deblocking (default ON)

The deblocking filter is applied to decoded compressed video to improve visual quality while decoding video.

Hardware Acceleration You can set the number of CPU cores to utilize per live stream, and limit CPU cores per resolution settings.

Max CPU cores to utilize per stream

Set the maximum cores to utilize per video stream.

Limit CPU cores when resolution height is above

Regulate the number of CPU cores used when a resolution height is above a set threshold.

Enable GPU video decoding

When selected, the system default setting uses GPU Hardware Acceleration for H.265 streams that are 1080P or above.

Notes:

• When the Enable GPU video decoding option is selected, the yellow OSD text displays the camera decoder information, while the Properties tab information displays the GPU decoding resolution.
• When you manipulate the timeline (fast forward/backwards), the display is interrupted. When you click Resume, the GPU can restart.

Hardware Acceleration Options

The following procedure describes hardware acceleration options.

Follow these steps:

1. In the Options dialog, Video, General dialog, locate the Hardware Acceleration section, and in the Max CPU cores to utilize per stream option, use the directional arrows to set the CPU threads used.

Note: A value of 1 indicates disabled, values greater than 1 indicate enabled. When you set this value as enabled, the Enable only when resolution height is equal to or above option is active. This option sets the minimum resolution height for this feature.

1. For the Limit CPU cores only when resolution height is above option, use the directional arrows to limit CPU cores for resolution height.

Example: If you set the Limit CPU cores only when resolution height is above option to 1080, then all streams that are greater than the set resolution height of 1080 (like 1080P, 4K) use multi decoding.

Notes: For this setting, verify the following:

• The minimum resolution is enabled and disabled according to the maximum CPU value.
• After clicking OK in the Options dialog, the open/new stream uses those configurations.
• Upon closing ControlCenter and reopening it again, that these are the correct ControlCenter values.

Instant Replay

The Instant Replay sub-menu sets the rewind time before a replay (in seconds).

The Tile arm settings enables the user define whether instant replay is done in a video tile specified by Arming it for alternative content is required for instant replay as the playback tile, or whether the playback defaults to the next available tile. If no tile is available, this becomes the first tile.

The Instant Replay source enables you to choose if, when using the Instant Replay option, to always use the camera’s ‘alternative scene’ for IR.

Normally, clicking on Instant Record for a camera results in a recording being made from the Live camera stream, using its resolution parameters. When the camera is defined as ‘Dual Scene’, clicking on this option enables the IR function to use the alternative stream – thus the IR clip is at the ‘Recorded Stream’ resolution.

Playback

The Playback sub-menu is used control the load imposed on the client machine during playback. Defaults are set for dealing with lower number of streams, but higher quality. If a client machine experiences load issues, the operator can change settings to provide higher throughput, but possibly impacting on video quality.

The user can set the type of online playback (TCP or UDP), smooth playback, streaming buffer length, the number of scenes that can be played synchronously, and max. number of CPU cores to be used during decoding.

These settings are unique to the specific client machine on which they are set, so the user can ‘tune’ specific workstations depending on the power of the client machine, and

whether it is more important to keep high quality playback, or allow more streams to be handled.

TCP/UDP

Default setting is TCP. UDP allows more streams to be played, but may allow dropped frames.

Offline playback

Fast playback normally displays only key frames. This may provide some jerkiness in the image.

When the Enable smooth reverse playback option is selected, playback is not limited to only key-frames but displays all video frames. This prevents the jerky motion that can occur during reverse playback. This option requires TCP playback.

Note: Smooth playback is not supported on Transcoded video.

Additionally, smooth playback can be enabled independently for online and offline playback

Synchronized playback

Default set to six (6) streams. If higher quality playback is required, reduce the number of simultaneous synchronous streams.

Playback CPU utilization (Advanced)

By default, this is set to two (2). The maximum number of cores that is available corresponds to the number of cores on the computer being utilized (and hence can vary on ControlCenter applications being run on different computers).

If only one or two streams are to be watched in fast forward/reverse, then increase the number of cores used to the maximum available on the target machine.

Note: Playback of final frames of a clip:

Under certain specific conditions, when using multiple CPU cores (see CPU Utilization parameter), the final (n-1) frames is not played back (where n is the number of cores specified in the CPU Utilization parameter).

This occurs if the following conditions are satisfied:

• This is the final clip available for the device (no later clips exist), and
• A single stream is being played (not Synchronized Playback), and
• The Enable smooth reverse playback option is deselected.

If the user needs to view the final frames:

• Use the Pause and Play controls to play the frames individually, or
• Reset the number of cores to be used can be reset to 1 in the Tools/Options/Video/Playback menu, and start the playback again.
