4.5.1 Video Settings
Users can set the video parameters in the format of H.264 major or
minor stream and MJPEG stream, such as resolution, frame rate, bit
rate and GOV number.
Resolution:
For H.264 major stream, the resolution of 2.0 megapixel PTZ
camera comes up to 1920×1080, with 1280×1024, 1280×960,
1280×720, 1024×768, 800×600 optional, while the resolution of 1.0
megapixel PTZ camera comes up to 1280×720, with 800×600
optional.
For H.264 minor stream, resolution comes to 1024×576, 720×576,
720×480, 640×480, 352×288, 352×240 and off.
For MJPEG stream, the resolution of 2.0 megapixel PTZ camera
comes to 1920×1080, 1280×1024, 1280×720, 720×480 and OFF
optional, while the resolution of 1.0 megapixel PTZ camera comes
to 1280×720 and 720×480 optional.
Frame Rate: the number of compressed frames produced by
camera per second.
The bigger the frame is, the better the image continuity will be, but
the CPU performance is lowered.
The smaller the frame is, the worse the image continuity will be,
but the CPU could handle more events.
The maximum frame rate is 30fps for H.264 minor stream and
10fps for MJPEG stream.
Note: Video settings under H.264 major/minor stream and MJPEG
stream affects each other. When 1080P/30fps is selected under
H.264 major stream, the minor stream settings are not unavailable,
and MJPEG can only set to 1080P/4fps. When 1080P/25fps is
14
selected under H.264 major stream, the minor stream settings are
not available, and MJPEG can only set to 9fps. Please follow the
webpage prompt for settings.
Bit Rate: There are 2 modes of bit rate: variable rate (vbr) and
constant rate (cbr).
The variable rate can adjust the bandwidth that it occupies
automatically according to the complexity of image, because the
complexity of real video sequence keeps changing, details, speed,
etc, and the variable rate setting mode can be used to choose how
much bandwidth should be used. If the video gets more details and
moving fast, then it takes up more bandwidth to transmit, and
reversely it occupies less bandwidth. When the setting goes with
constant bit rate, then the image is transmitted under a constant
bandwidth.
Bit Rate Upper Limit: You have to set the upper limit of bit rate if
“vbr” is selected; the stream size will be fixed if “cbr” is selected
and the stream size is defined in the “Bit Rate Upper Limit”. For
major stream, the bit rate upper limit can be 1000Kbps~10000Kbps;
for minor stream, the bit rate upper limit can be
256Kbps~2000Kbps.
GOV number: GOV number means the ratio of I frame to P frame
in compressed video images. The bigger the value is, the less the
data quantity is and the less network resource it occupies.
Max. GOV number can be set up to 60.
Image Quality: it can be set under MJPEG stream. Options: Best,
Good, Average, Bad and Worst. The higher the image quality is, the
more bandwidth it will occupy.

Appendix II Cable Diameter Calculation and Lightning & Surge Protection
Relation between 24VAC Cable Diameter and Transmission Distance
In general, the maximum allowable voltage loss rate is 10% for AC-powered devices. The table below shows the
relationship between transmission power and maximum transmission distance under a certain specified cable diameter, on
condition that the 24VAC voltage loss rate is below 10%. According to the table, if a device rated at 50W is installed
17-meter away from the transformer, the minimum cable diameter shall be 0.8000mm. A lower diameter value tends to
cause voltage loss and even system instability.

Lightning & Surge Protection
The product adopts multi-level anti-lightning and anti-surge technology integrated with gas discharge tube, power resistor
and TVS tube. The powerful lightning and surge protection barrier effectively avoids product damage caused by various
pulse signals with power below 4kV, including instantaneous lightning, surge and static. However, for complicated
outdoor environment, refer to instruction below for lightning and surge protection:
The product features with dedicated earth wire, which must be firmly grounded. As for surveillance sites beyond the
effective protection scope, it’s necessary to erect independent lightening rods to protect the security devices. It’s
recommended to separate the lightning rod from the mounting pole, placing the rod on an independent pole, as shown
in the figure below. If the product has to be installed on the same pole or pedestal for lightning rod, there should be
strict insulation between the video cable BNC terminal, power cable, control cable and the standing pole of the
lightning rod.
For suburb and rural areas, it’s recommended to adopt direct burial for the transmission cables. Overhead wiring is
prohibited, because it’s more likely to encounter lightning strike. Use shielded cables or thread the cables through metal
tubes for burial, thus to ensure the electric connection to the metal tube. In case it’s difficult to thread the cable through
the tube all the way, it’s acceptable to use tube-threaded cables only at both ends of the transmission line, yet the length
in burial should be no less than 15 meters. The cable sheath and the tube should be connected to the lightning -proof
grounding device.
Additional high-power lightning-proof equipment and lightning rods should be installed for strong thunderstorm or
high induced voltage areas (such as high-voltage substation).
The lightning protection and grounding for outdoor devices and wires should be designed in line with the actual
protection requirement, national standards and industrial standards.
The system should perform equipotential grounding by streaming, shielding, clamping and earthing. The grounding
device must meet anti-interference and electric safety requirements. There should be no short-circuiting or hybrid
junction between the device and the strong grid. Make sure there’s a reliable grounding system, with grounding
resistance below 4Ω (below 10Ω for high soil resistivity regions). The cross-sectional area of the earthing conductor
