Network Settings

Network Requirements

●Ensure that there is sufficient network bandwidth for the data volume to be sent out by camera. Do not send multicast stream that exceeds the bandwidth. If the entire bandwidth is used by the multicast stream, control of this camera via the network may fail.

●Data volume to be sent by camera varies with the settings and number of distributions.

●The maximum bit rate for transmission is about 20 Mbps.

Estimation of Total Bit Rate

The total JPEG bit rate from camera is determined by the camera settings, number of clients, and the client’s requested number of frames. The total MPEG4 bit rate from camera is determined by the number of distributions. Develop a design upon taking the above into consideration.

Bit Rate of JPEG Stream

The JPEG file size per frame varies with the encoding settings as well as input video signals. The following table shows typical sizes. When VFS is selected, the quantization table during JPEG encoding will be maintained, and the file size will increase/decrease according to the input signals. When AFS is selected, encoding will be performed such that the target file size is the average size of multiple JPEG images.

AFS (Average File Size)

(TX) is applicable to VN-X series only.

Selectable Range for Distribution File Size

	Quad	VGA	QVGA
	VGA(TX)
	40 KB to	10 KB to	3 KB to 33 KB
	200 KB	100 KB

VFS(Variable File Size)

(TX) is applicable to VN-X series only.

			Distribution File Size
			(typical sizes)
			Quad	VGA	QVGA
			(TX)
Setting	1	(High)	180 KB	80 KB	27 KB
Values
	2		160 KB	60 KB	20 KB

Picture	3		140 KB	40 KB	13 KB

	(Medium)
	5		100 KB	25 KB	8 KB
	6		80 KB	20 KB	7 KB
	7	(Low)	60 KB	15 KB	5 KB

The maximum number of distributions varies with the bit rate settings as well as the client’s requested frame rate. Up to 20 streams can be distributed (including multicast). The total frame rate refers to the sum of these frame rates.

For example, when 10 fps is requested by two clients, and in addition, multicast is transmitted at a rate of 10 fps, the total frame rate will be:

10 + 10 + 10 = 30 fps

For example, when 5 fps is requested by two clients, and in addition, multicast is transmitted at a rate of 5 fps, the total frame rate will be:

5 + 5 + 5 = 15fps

If JPEG file size per piece is 120KB, total bit rate will be:

120KB 15fps = 1800KB/s = 14.4Mbps

Bit Rate of MPEG4 Stream

You can select either the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR) system for MPEG4 stream.

When the VBR system is selected, the bit rate varies according to the condition of the input video signals. The VBR system delivers a stable picture quality, but forecast of the bit rate is difficult. When the CBR system is selected, encoding is performed at a fixed bit rate regardless of the condition of the input video signals. The picture quality varies under the CBR system, but the bit rate can be easily forecasted.

You can specify an estimated bit rate for both VBR and CBR. (64 kbps to 8000 kbps)

Network Settings

Network Requirements (continued)

Bit Rate of Audio

Only 1 audio data stream can be received. Data volume for 1 audio stream is 64 kbps. Audio data volume may be calculated using the following formula.

64 kbps x no. of streams

The number of streams is the total number of streams sent via TCP (number of clients), streams sent via multicast, and stream received by camera

(Example) When camera sends out 2 audio streams and receives 1 audio stream, data volume will be as follows. 64 kbps x 3 = 192 kbps

Restrictions on the Number of Distributions for camera

The maximum number of distributions for camera is determined by the settings as well as requirements from the client.

For JPEG distribution, you can select either “Frame Rate Priority” mode or “Client number Priority” mode. “Frame Rate Priority” mode distributes JPEG images according to the frame rate requested by the client. The maximum number of distributions is determined based on the highest bit rate within the distribution streams. For “Client number Priority” mode, if there are requests from multiple clients, JPEG images are distributed in a lower frame rate than that requested to cater to multiple clients. It can accept 20 distribution requests as the maximum number of clients.

When Frame Rate Priority Mode is Selected

JPEG images are distributed at the frame rate requested by the client.

When a distribution request that exceeds the maximum number of distributions is received, this request is denied. ● When only JPEG images are distributed

For example, if Client A requests for JPEG at 1 Mbps, while Client B requests for JPEG at 5 Mbps, additional 2 streams (total 4 streams) of distribution are possible for request below 5 Mbps.

Maximum number of distributions when only JPEG data is distributed

Distribution	Maximum	Total
at maximum	number of	maximum bit
bit rate	distributions	rate

below
5 Mbps and	4	20 Mbps
below
10 Mbps and	2	20 Mbps

Larger than	1	Maximum
10 Mbps		configurable
		value
		(24 Mbps)

● When both JPEG and MPEG4 images are distributed

When both JPEG and MPEG4 images are distributed simultaneously, distribution up to two clients for JPEG and three clients for MPEG4 respectively is possible.

However, distribution requests that exceed a total bit rate of 20 Mbps will be denied.

Maximum number of distributions when JPEG and MPEG4 data is distributed

Maximum number	Maximum number

● When only MPEG4 images are distributed

The maximum number of distributions is determined by the preset bit rate. When a distribution request that exceeds the maximum number of distributions is received, this request is denied.

			(8 Mbps)

When Client number Priority Mode is Selected

●When only JPEG images are distributed

If the distribution request would be accepted in the frame rate priority mode, distribution works in the same way as frame rate priority mode, where JPEG images are distributed at the frame rate requested by the client. If the distribution request would be denied in the frame rate priority mode, the frame rate is controlled such that the maximum bit rate is as shown in the following table, to accept distribution requests from up to 20 clients. For example, if Client A and B request for JPEG at 10 Mbps, and Client C requests for JPEG at 5 Mbps, the frame rate will be reduced such that the distribution bit rate to each client is less than 5 Mbps.

Maximum bit rate when only JPEG data is distributed

Current number of	Maximum bit rate	Total maximum bit
distributions		rate
2 and below	10 Mbps	20 Mbps
3 to 4	5 Mbps	20 Mbps
5 to 20	1 Mbps	20 Mbps

● When both JPEG and MPEG4 images are distributed When both JPEG and MPEG4 images are distributed, distribution works in the same way as frame rate priority mode if the distribution request would be accepted in the frame rate priority mode. If the distribution request would be denied in the frame rate priority mode, the frame rate is controlled such that the maximum bit rate is as shown in the following table, to accept distribution requests for up to a total number of 20 JPEG and MPEG distributions. However, distribution requests for which the total bit rate of the MPEG4 distribution stream exceeds 10 Mbps will be denied.

Maximum JPEG bit rate when only JPEG and MPEG4 data is distributed

Current number	Maximum bit rate	Total maximum
of distributions		bit rate
2 and below	5 Mbps	10 Mbps
3 to 4	2.5 Mbps	10 Mbps
5 to 20	0.5 Mbps	10 Mbps

When only MPEG4 images are distributed, the maximum number of distributions is determined by the preset bit rate. When a distribution request that exceeds the maximum number of distributions is received, this request is denied.

When distributing only MPEG4 data (A Page 4)

Memo:

●If the bit rate is changed when image distribution is in progress, the restriction on distribution may not work correctly.

Insufficient network bandwidth

When there is insufficient bandwidth, the number of JPEG frames (frame rate) that the client can acquire will decrease. Delay will also occur in the distribution of images. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail. There may be a longer delay or interruption in the audio.

Network Delay

When the client acquires JPEG via TCP, camera will send out data while checking the ACK from the client at the same time. For networks with considerable delay, data cannot be sent out until ACK is received, and therefore the frame rate will drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail. Audio may be interrupted.

Decrease in the frame rate due to network delays can be eliminated by receiving data via multicast.

Network Jitter

When there is considerable network jitter, delay time may be prolonged and the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail. Audio may be interrupted.

Packet Loss

When acquiring images from camera via TCP, packet loss may be recovered by TCP transmission. When there is considerable delay in the network, however, missing data may occur and the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Audio may be interrupted.

When packet loss occurs during multicast sending from camera, the image frame rate may drop. In the case of MPEG4, noise interference may occur and playback may fail.

Audio may be interrupted.

DJPEG

Frame Size	For specifying the JPEG picture quality (rate control mode) and size (target file
	size). When AVFS1B to AVFS7B is selected, the quantization table during JPEG
	encoding will be maintained and the file size will increase/decrease according to
	the input signals.
	Typical sizes will be displayed in the Size field. When recording JPEG data to a
	recorder with a limited storage capacity, the maximum recording time may vary
	as the file size fluctuates under this setting.
	When AAFSB is selected, encoding is performed such that the target file size is
	the average size of multiple JPEG images.
	You can enter the target size in the Size field.
	[Picture quality values : VFS1 to VFS7, AFS]

Memo:

● The picture size can be specified only when the picture quality value is set to AFS.

		[Set values : 64 kbps to 8000 kbps]
	Bitrate Control	For selecting whether to set the MPEG4 rate control mode to CBR (Constant Bit
		Rate) or VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
		CBR	: Encoding is performed at a fixed bit rate regardless of the condition of
			the input video signals. Enables easy forecast of the bit rate.
		VBR	: Changes the bit rate according to the condition of the input video
			signals. Picture quality is stable, but forecast of the bit rate is difficult.
	FPS	For setting the MPEG4 frame rate.
		[Set values : 1 fps, 7.5 fps, 10 fps, 15 fps, 30 fps (TV)]
	I Frame Interval	For setting the I-frame interval. MPEG4 starts encoding from the I-frame.
		Shortening the interval stabilizes the picture quality even when there are rapid
		changes in the video image. However, the picture quality for images with little
		change will deteriorate. In addition, when multicast packet loss occurs, the time
		interval required to restore the image is shorter.
		[Set values : 15, 30, 45, 60, 75]
	Priority	For selecting whether to assign priority to the frame rate or picture quality during
		MPEG4 encoding.
		FPS	: Assigns priority to frame rate. Select this setting to enable smooth
			monitoring of motion images.
		Quality	: Assigns priority to picture quality.

I Sense Up		This feature is used to raise the sensitivity level by lengthening the exposure
		time.
		You can specify the number of times by which the sensitivity level is to be
		increased automatically when the object becomes dark. When Ax16B is
		selected, the sensitivity level will automatically increases continuously until it
		is 16 times of the level when AOffB is selected. When the sensitivity level
		increases, the shutter speed slows down and motion becomes unnatural.
		When set to AOffB, [Sense Up] is disabled.
