The Network Camera supports MPEG-4 and MJPEG dual streams� For more information, please refer to Video Settings on page 35�

MPEG-4 Media Options

Select to stream video or audio data� This works only when the video mode is set to MPEG-4�

MPEG-4 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of MPEG-4 streaming:

UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams� However, network

packets may be lost due to network burst trafc and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection

when occasions require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less important� Note that each unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the Network Camera allows up to ten simultaneous accesses�

UDP multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all clients requesting streaming media� This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the Network Camera

while serving multiple clients at the same time. Note that to utilize this feature, the Network Camera must

be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time� For more information, please refer to RTSP Streaming on page 30�

User's Manual - 19

TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video quality� Nevertheless, the downside with this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol�

HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and you don’t need to open specic port

for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a rewall can utilize this protocol to allow

streaming data to come through�

MP4 Saving Options

Users can record the live video as they are watching it by clicking Start MP4 Recording on

User's Manual - 39

■ Frame size Select the video size. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. The frame sizes are

selectable in the following resolutions: 176 x 144, 352 x 240, and 720 x 480�

■ Maximum frame rate

This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second� Set the frame rate higher for a smoother video quality�

If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, and 25fps. If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the frame rates are

selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 30fps�

■ Intra frame period

Determine how often to plant an I frame� The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption� Select the intra frame period from the following durations: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and 4 seconds�

■ Video quality A complex scene generally produces a larger le size, meaning that higher bandwidth will be needed

for data transmission� Therefore, if Constant bit rate is selected, the bandwidth utilization is xed at a selected level, resulting in mutable video quality performance� The bit rates are selectable at the following rates: 20Kbps, 30Kbps, 40Kbps, 50Kbps, 64Kbps, 128Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 768Kbps, 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 3Mbps, and 4Mbps�

On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are transmitted with the same quality;

bandwidth utilization is therefore unpredictable. The video quality can be adjusted to the following

settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed, and Excellent�

If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends JPEG images to the client, producing

a moving effect similar to a lmstrip. Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same image

quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage� Because the media contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the client� There are three parameters provided in MJPEG mode to control the video performance:

■ Frame size Select the video size. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. The frame sizes are

selectable in the following resolutions: 176 x 144, 352 x 240, and 720 x 480�

■ Maximum frame rate

This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second� Set the frame rate higher for smoother video quality�

To enable motion detection, follow the steps below:

Follow the steps below to enable motion detection: 1� Click New to add a new motion detection window� 2� In the Window Name text box, enter a name for the motion detection window�

■ To move and resize the window, drag and drop your mouse on the window.

■ To delete window, click X on the top right corner of the window.

3. Define the sensitivity to moving objects and the space ratio of all alerted pixels by moving the

Sensitivity and Percentage slider bar� 4� Click Save to enable the settings� 5� Select Enable motion detection to enable this function�

For example:

The Percentage Indicator will rise or fall depending on the variation between sequential images�

When motions are detected by the Network Camera and are judged to exceed the defined

threshold, the red bar rises� Meanwhile, the motion detection window will be outlined in red�

Photos or videos can be captured instantly and congured to be sent to a remote server (Email, FTP) by utilizing this feature as a trigger source. For more information on how to plot an event,

please refer to Application on page 46�

(TCP-AV)

42 - User's Manual

A green bar indicates that even though motions have been detected, the event has not been

triggered because the image variations still fall under the dened threshold.

NOTE

► How does motion detection work?

There are two motion detection parameters: Sensitivity and Percentage� In the illustration above, frame A and frame B are two sequential images� Pixel differences between the two frames are detected and highlighted in gray (frame C) and will be compared with the sensitivity setting� Sensitivity

is a value that expresses the sensitivity to moving objects. Higher sensitivity settings are expected to

detect slight movements while smaller sensitivity settings will neglect them� When the sensitivity is set

to 70%, the Network Camera denes the pixels in the purple areas as “alerted pixels” (frame D).

Percentage is a value that expresses the proportion of “alerted pixels” to all pixels in the motion

detection window. In this case, 50% of pixels are identied as “alerted pixels”. When the percentage is set to 30%, the motions are judged to exceed the dened threshold; therefore, the motion window will

be outlined in red�

For applications that require a high level of security management, it is suggested to use higher sensitivity settings and smaller percentage values�
