is also supported for increased flexibility.

• Triple streams

The Network Camera can deliver triple video streams simultaneously at full frame rate in all
resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 using Motion JPEG and H.264 (or MPEG-4). This mean s that
several video streams can be configured with different compression formats, resolutions and
frame rates for dif ferent needs.

• Image setting adjustment

The Network Camera also enables users to adjust image settings such as contrast, brightne ss
and saturation to improve images before encoding takes place.

• Micro-SD Recording support

The Network Camera also supports a micro-SD memory slot for loc al recording with removable

storage.

• Improved Security

The Network Camera logs all user access, and lists currently connected users. Also, its full frame
rate video can be provided over HTTPS.

• Megapixel Resolution

Max 30fps@1920x1080

• PoE

This network camera can be powered through PoE, which simplifies installation since only one
cable is needed for carrying power, as well as video controls.

• ONVIF

This is a global interface standard that makes it easier for end users, in tegrators, consultants,
and manufacturers to take advantage of the possibilities offered by network video technology.
ONVIF enables interoperability between different vendor products, increased flexibility, reduced
cost, and future-proof systems.

“3.5.2 Video & Image” for more details.

20

2) Network

The network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled
simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled. When using IPv4, the IP address for
the network camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually.
If IPv6 is enabled, the network camera receives an IP address according to the configuration in the
network router. There is also the option of using the Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more
information on setting the Network, please see Setup> System>Security>Network.

• Obtain IP address via DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol
that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP
addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP server is mostly
used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP
address for a particular MAC address.

• Use the following IP address - To use a static IP address for the Network Camera,
check the radio button and then make the following settings:

- IP address - Specify a unique IP address for your Network Camera.

- Subnet mask - Specify the mask for the subnet the Network Camera is located on.

- Default router - Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for
connecting devices attached to different networks and network segments.

Notes:

1. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if your DHCP server can

update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the Network Camera by name (host name).
If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, you may have to reset it to the factory
default settings and then perform the installation again.

2. The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started, or
as soon as an IP address is set.

3. Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.

3) Video & Image

• Stream1 Setting

- Codec:
The codec settings are separated into MPEG4 and H.264.

H.264 is also known as MPEG-4 Part 10. This is the new generation compression standard
for digital video. This function offers higher video resolution than Motion JPEG or MPEG-4 at
the same bit rate and bandwidth, or the same quality video at a lower bit rate.

- Profile:

There are 4 pre-programmed stream profiles available for quick set-up.
Choose the form of video encoding you wish to use from the drop-down list:

* H.264 HP (High Profile): The primary profile for broadcast and disc storage applications,

particularly for high-definition television applications (for example, this is the profile
adopted by the Blu-ray Disc storage format and the DVB HDTV broadcast service).

* H.264 MP

Primarily for low-cost applications that requires additional err or robustness, this profile is
used rarely in videoconferencing and mobile applications, it does add additional error
resilience tools to the Constrained Baseline Profile. The importance of this profile is fading
after the Constrained Baseline Profile has been defined.
