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:
65
If the Stream Type is set to main stream, H.264 and H.265 are selectable, and if
the 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
66
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 3 days to adapt to
a fixed monitoring scene.
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:
Basic profile, Main Profile, and High Profile for coding are selectable.
I Frame Interval:
Set I Frame Interval from 1 to 400.
SVC:
Scalable Video Coding is an extension of the H.264/AVC 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
