Steps:

1. Enter the Video Settings interface, Configuration > Video/Audio > Video

Figure 7-1 Video Settings

2. Select the Stream Type. Supported stream types are listed in the drop-down list.

Notes:

• For some models, the Third Stream is not enabled by default. Go to System >

User Manual of Network Fisheye Camera

Maintenance > System Service> Software to enable the function is required.

• 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.

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: The camera supports multiple video encodings types, such as H.264, H.265, MJPEG, and MPEG4. Supported encoding type for different stream types may differ. 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.

User Manual of Network Fisheye Camera

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.

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

video quality, and SVC are greyed out.

• 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

requirements of the actual scene in order to realize the set maximum average bitrate in the long term. The camera needs at least 24 hours to adapt to a fixed monitoring scene.

User Manual of Network Fisheye Camera

Max. Average Bitrate:

When you set a maximum bitrate, its corresponding recommended maximum average bitrate will be shown in the Max. Average Bitrate box. You can also set the maximum average bitrate manually from 32 Kbps to the value of the set maximum bitrate.

Profile:

When you select H.264 or H.265 as video encoding, you can set the profile. Selectable profiles vary according to camera models.

I Frame Interval:

Set I Frame Interval from 1 to 400.

SVC:

Scalable Video Coding is an extension of the H.264/AVC and H.265 standard. Select OFF/ON to disable/enable the SVC function. Select Auto and the device will automatically extract frames from the original video when the network bandwidth is insufficient.

Smoothing:

It refers to the smoothness of the stream. The higher value of the smoothing is, the better fluency of the stream will be, though, the video quality may not be so satisfactory. The lower value of the smoothing is, the higher quality of the stream will be, though it may appear not fluent.
