Hikvision Integration

Note: This integration is currently experimental and your feedback is welcome to steer it's development

Tapa integrates with Hikvision NVR’s and cameras. This allows a text overlay on the video stream showing what the user of the POS is currently doing.

You can link each POS terminal to a video stream either through the NVR or directly with each relevant camera.

Settings in Tapa

Tapa can operate in two modes:

Server Mode

In server mode the NVR or camera can connect to the Tapa POS terminal port and listen for the overlay text.

Client Mode

In client mode Tapa POS will connect to the NVR port or camera and send text to overlay on the video stream.

The options can be accessed from Settings > Hardware > CCTV
