out does not work and some event actions (FTP upload and image attachment to Emails)
are disabled.

Stream:

Select the stream usage.

Live/Recording: Allows simultaneous live monitoring and recording. This is supported

only in one of the streams.

Live: Allows live monitoring only.

Compression:

Set up the compression of images for streaming. The primary stream

supports only H.264 compression.

Resolution:

Set the resolution of images for streaming. The resolution supported in the
primary stream varies depending on the camera model. The secondary stream supports
a maximum of 704x480 or 1280x720 resolution depending on the compression, and the
resolution of the secondary stream cannot exceed that of the primary stream. The view
angle of images of the same resolution from the secondary stream might change when
the resolution of the primary stream changes.

352x240: When the resolution of the primary stream is set to this, images are not displayed

in full scale for the BNC video out.

1280x720: Is supported only when the compression of the secondary stream is set to JPEG.

This resolution might not be supported depending on the camera model.

1920x1080: When the resolution of the primary stream is set to this, the secondary stream

supports the JPEG compression and 704x480 resolution only, and the BNC video out
does not work. This resolution might not be supported depending on the camera model.

Quality:

Set up the quality of images for streaming.

Bitrate Control:

Set up the bitrate control mode for the H.264 compression.

CBR (Constant Bitrate): Persists the current bitrate regardless of the amount of motion.

Network Camera

25

VBR (Variable Bitrate): Adjusts the bitrate dynamically based on the amount of motion.

The less motion there is, the less network congestion and the less storage capacity. The
quality may not be good comparing to the CBR mode.

Frame Rate:

Set the frame rate of images for streaming. The frame rate of the secondary
stream cannot exceed that of the primary stream, and the frame rates supported for the
secondary stream change depending on the frame rate of the primary stream.

NOTE: Simultaneous connections to the camera might cause the frame rate to decrease
due to the network bandwidth overload.

Webcasting

The camera can stream live video from the camera to a website. Copy the HTML Code
displayed on the screen and paste it in your web page code.

setting.

Sensitivity:

Set the motion sensitivity. The higher the number is, the more sensitive it is.

Inactivity Period:

Set the inactivity period. The camera will transmit or record images
in Frame Rate set below until any change is detected after the inactivity period when
no motion is detected during the preset inactivity period.

Frame Rate:

Select the frame rate to be applied when no motion is detected. The frame
rate of the secondary stream cannot exceed that of the primary stream, and the frame rates
supported for the secondary stream change depending on the frame rate of the primary
stream. The selected frame rate will be applied until any motion is detected after the
inactivity period and will return to the normal frame rate set during the Stream setup
immediately upon detecting any motion.

NOTE: The MAT (Motion Adaptive Transmission) function allows you to reduce bandwidth
overload and to save storage capacity by reducing the frame rate when no motion is
detected. The camera considers that no motion is detected when no change is detected
between two consecutive images based on the sensitivity setting.
