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 an option of using
the Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the network, please see
“System > Network > Basic”.
•
•
NOTES:
1.
2.
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.
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.
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.

–
Codec: The codec supported in Stream 1 is H.264.
There are 3 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):
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 (Main Profile):
Primary profile for low-cost applications that require additional error 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.
·
H.264 BP (Baseline Profile):
Originally intended as the mainstream consumer profile for broadcast and
storage applications, the importance of this profile faded when the High Profile
was developed for those applications.
–
Resolution:
This enables users to determine a basic screen size when having an access
through the Web Browser or PC program. The screen size control comes in
several modes like 1920x1080, 1280x1024, 1280x960, 1280x720, 1024x768,
Page 20

704x576, 704x480, 640x480, 640x360 and 320x240. Users can change the selected screen size anytime while monitoring the screen on a real-time basis.
–
Bitrate control:
The bit rate can be set as Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constrained Variable Bit
Rate (CVBR). VBR adjusts the bit rate according to the image complexity, using
up bandwidth for increased activity in the image, and less for lower activity in
the monitored area. Limiting the maximum bit rate helps control the bandwidth
used by the H.264 video stream. Leaving the Maximum bit rate as unlimited
maintains consistently good image quality but increases bandwidth usage when
there is more activity in the image. Limiting the bit rate to a defined value prevents
excessive bandwidth usage, but images are degraded when the limit is exceeded.
·
VBR: unlimited maximum bitrate.
·
CVBR: VBR with maximum bitrate which is set in Bitrate .
–
Bitrate: Maximum bitrate for CVBR in the range of 100kbps ∼ 8Mbps.
This is disabled if Bitrate control is set to VBR.
–
Frame rate:
Upon the real-time play, users should select a frame refresh rate per second. If
the rate is high, the image will become smooth. On the other hand, if the rate is
low, the image will not be natural but it can reduce a network load.
–
GOP size:
Select the GOP (Group of Picture) size. If users want to have a high quality of
fast image one by one, please decrease the value. For the purpose of general
monitoring, please do not change a basic value. Such act may cause a problem
to the system performance. For the details of GOP setting, please contact the
service center.
•
Stream 2 Setting:
Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the
frame rate and quality helps to control the bandwidth and storage used by the Motion
JPEG video stream in these situations. Limiting the frame rate and quality optimizes
bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality. To prevent increased
bandwidth and storage usage, the Resolution, Frame rate, and Frame Quality should
be set to an optimal value.
–
MJPEG Resolution: Same as the stream 1 settings except the largest resolution,
2048x1536.
–
MJPEG Frame rate: Same as the stream 1 settings.

MJPEG Quality: Select the picture quality. If users want to have a high quality
of fast image one by one, please decrease the value. For the purpose of general
monitoring, please do not change a basic value. Such act may cause a problem
to the system performance.

∇ QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) provides the means to guarantee a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a network. Quality can be defined as a maintained level of
bandwidth, low latency, and no packet losses.
The main benefits of a QoS-aware network are:
1.
The ability to prioritize traffic and thus allow critical flows to be served before flows with
lesser priority.
2.
Greater reliability in the network, due to the control of the amount of bandwidth an
application may use, and thus control over bandwidth races between applications.
•
DSCP Settings
For each type of network traffic supported by your network video product, enter a DSCP
(Differentiated Services Code Point) value. This value is used to mark the traffics IP
header. When the marked traffic reaches a network router or switch, the DSCP value
in the IP header tells the router or switch which type of treatment to apply to this type
of traffic, for example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it. Note that DSCP values
can be entered in decimal or hex form, but saved values are always shown in decimal.
The following types of traffic are marked; enter a value for each type of traffic used:
–
Live Stream DSCP
–
Event/Alarm DSCP
–
Management DSCP

Zeroconf
Zero configuration networking (zeroconf) is a set of techniques that automatically creates a
usable Internet Protocol (IP) network without manual operator intervention or special configuration servers.
Zero configuration networking allows devices such as computers and printers to connect to
a network automatically. Without zeroconf, a network administrator must set up services,
such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS),
or configure each computer’s network settings manually, which may be difficult and timeconsuming.
Zeroconf is built on three core technologies:
•
Assignment of numeric network addresses for networked devices (link-local address
auto configuration)
•
Automatic resolution and distribution of computer hostnames (multicast DNS)
•
Automatic location of network services, such as printing devices through DNS service
discovery.
Click the checkbox to enable Zeroconf.

NOTE: Also known as zero-configuration networking, Bonjour enables devices to automat-
ically discover each other on a network, without having to enter IP addresses or configure
DNS servers. (Bonjour is a trademark of Apple Computer, Inc.)

General Performance Considerations
When setting up your system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations
will affect performance. Some factors affect the amount of bandwidth (the bit rate) required,
others can affect the frame rate, and some affect both. If the load on the CPU reaches its
maximum, this will also affect the frame rate.
The following factors are among the most important to consider:
•
High image resolutions and/or lower compression levels (or high bitrates) result in
larger images. Frame rate and Bandwidth affected.
•
Accessing both Motion JPEG and H.264 video streams simultaneously. Frame rate
and bandwidth affected.
•
Heavy network utilization due to poor infrastructure. Frame rate and Bandwidth affected.
•
Heavy network utilization via wireless router due to poor infrastructure. Frame rate and
bandwidth affected.
•
Viewing on poorly performing client PCs lowers perceived performance. Frame rate
affected.
