The setting of the wireless network connection is never easy. To avoid the complex setting of the wireless connection you can enable the WPS function. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) refers to the easy configuration of the encrypted connection between the device and the wireless router. The WPS makes it easy to add new devices to an existing network without entering long passphrases. There are two modes of the WPS connection, the PBC mode and the PIN mode.

Note: If you enable the WPS function, you do not need to configure the parameters

such as the encryption type and you don’t need to know the key of the wireless

connection.

Steps:

Figure 4-9 Wi-Fi Settings - WPS

Network Camera User Manual

PBC Mode: PBC refers to the Push-Button-Configuration, in which the user simply has to push a button, either an actual or virtual one (as the button on the configuration interface of the IE browser), on both the Access Point (and a registrar of the network) and the new wireless client device.

1. Check the checkbox of to enable WPS.

2. Choose the connection mode as PBC.

Note: Support of this mode is mandatory for both the Access Points and the

connecting devices.

3. Check on the Wi-Fi router to see if there is a WPS button. If yes push the button and you can see the indicator near the button start flashing, which means the WPS function of the router is enabled. For detailed operation, please see the user guide of the router.

4. Push the WPS button to enable the function on the camera. If there is not a WPS button on the camera, you can also click the virtual button to enable the PBC function on the web interface.

5. Click Connect button. When the PBC mode is both enabled in the router and the camera, the camera and the wireless network is connected automatically.

PIN Mode:

The PIN mode requires a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to be read from either a sticker or the display on the new wireless device. This PIN must then be entered to connect the network, usually the Access Point of the network.

Steps:

1. Choose a wireless connection on the list and the SSID is loaded automatically.

2. Choose Use route PIN code.

third stream.

Notes:

• For some models, to enable the third stream, go to System > Maintenance >

Network Camera User Manual

System Service> Software and check the checkbox of Enable Third Stream to reboot the system and enable the third stream.

• The main stream is usually for recording and live view with good bandwidth,

and the sub-stream can be used for live view when the bandwidth is limited.

• To enable the third stream, go to System>Maintenance>System Service>

Software and check the checkbox of Enable Third Stream to reboot the system and enable the third stream.

3. You can customize the following parameters for the selected stream type.

Video Type: Select the stream type to video stream, or video & audio composite stream. The audio signal will be recorded only when the Video Type is Video & Audio. Resolution: Select the resolution of the video output. Bitrate Type: Select the bitrate type to constant or variable. Video Quality: When bitrate type is selected as Variable, 6 levels of video quality are selectable.

Frame Rate:

Set the frame rate. The frame rate is to describe the frequency at which the video stream is updated and it is measured by frames per second (fps). A higher frame rate is advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image quality throughout. Max. Bitrate: Set the max. bitrate from 32 to 16384 Kbps. The higher value corresponds to the higher video quality, but the better bandwidth is required.

Note: The maximum limit of the max. bitrate value varies according to different

camera platforms. For certain cameras, the maximum limit is 8192 Kbps or 12288 Kbps. Video Encoding: If the Stream Type is set to main stream, H.264 and H.265 are selectable, and if the

Network Camera User Manual

stream type is set to sub stream or third stream, H.264, MJPEG, and H.265 are selectable. H.265 is a new encoding technology. Compared with H.264, it reduces the transmission bitrate under the same resolution, frame rate and image quality.

Note: Selectable video encoding types may vary according to different camera

modes.

H.264+ and H.265+:

• H.264+: If you set the main stream as the stream type, and H.264 as the video

encoding, you can see H.264+ available. H.264+ is an improved compression coding technology based on H.264. By enabling H.264+, users can estimate the HDD consumption by its maximum average bitrate. Compared to H.264, H.264+ reduces storage by up to 50% with the same maximum bitrate in most scenes.

• H.265+: If you set the main stream as the stream type, and H.265 as the video

encoding, you can see H.265+ available. H.265+ is an improved compression coding technology based on H.265. By enabling H.265+, users can estimate the HDD consumption by its maximum average bitrate. Compared to H.265, H.265+ reduces storage by up to 50% with the same maximum bitrate in most

scenes. You need to reboot the camera if you want to turn on or turn off the H.264+/H.265+. If you switch from H.264+ to H.265+ directly, and vice versa, a reboot is not required by the system.

Notes:

• Upgrade your video player to the latest version if live view or playback does

not work properly due to compatibility.

• The bitrate type must be variable if you want to use H.264+ or H.265+.

• With H.264+/H.265+ enabled, the parameters such as profile, I frame interval,

video quality, and SVC are greyed out if the bitrate type is variable.

• With H.264+/H.265+ enabled, some functions are not supported. For those

functions, corresponding interfaces will be hidden.

• H.264+/H.265+ can spontaneously adjust the bitrate distribution according the

Network Camera User Manual

requirements of the actual scene in order to realize the set maximum average

bitrate in the long term. The camera needs at least 3 days to adapt to a fixed

monitoring scene.
