QuadVGA(1280×960) is the highest resolution
(320x176) is the lowest resolution.
Note:
Stream 1 must be always ON.
H264 only supports SVBR and its maximum bit rate is 8M.
Codec
MJPEG
H.264
MJPEG: Each video frame is individually compressed as single jpeg image
with full-scale contents itself and can be retouched freely with ease.
However, due to completeness of each frame, it brings about larger le size
and thus easily tends to lose frames under limited network bandwidth.
H.264: The latest best-renowned video compression format, it adopts
intelligent technology to record variation in each frame rather than record
each full frame. As a result, less network bandwidth it requires and le size is
prone to be smaller compared with MJPEG.
DSCP 0 ~ 63
To classify and manage network trac and provide quality of service (QoS)
on modern IP networks, Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a
computer networking architecture that specifies a resource allocation to
each device on a priority-based pattern for ideal bandwidth management.
The bigger value, the higher priority it will be.
Prole
Main
High
Baseline
There’re 3 kinds of proles for H.264 codec and the compression ratio with
protocol for each type are different. Users may choose a proper one for
desired applications or contact IT personnel for more information.
Frame Rate
NTSC: 1~30
PAL: 1~25
The utmost fps settings for 2 systems varies as the following:
NTSC:
H.264/MJPEG single stream: 1280×960 to 320x176@30fps
PAL:
H.264/MJPEG single stream: 1280×960 to 320x176@25fps
Rate Control
CBR: Constant Bit Rate
CVBR: Constrained Variable Bit Rate
Choose the bit rate control selection based on user requirements. Higher
bit rate values will result in better quality with bigger file size and thus
consume more network bandwidth. CBR stands for constant mode with
certain xed rate by user denition, while CVBR means constrained variable
mode in which users can set a maxium limit to the optimal bit rate for your
conguration.
GOP (Group Of
Pictures) Length
NTSC: 1~60
PAL: 1~50
Select the GOP length number from NTSC: 1 to 60 / PAL: 1 to 50. Less number
means the distance between 2 I-frames is smaller, which needs more
network bandwidth with better image. By contrast, larger number consumes
less bandwidth but is hard to be recovered. The available length number
options of GOP will vary based on frame rate settings.
M-JPEG Quality
Level
Low/Mid/High
While “Low” produces the highest image quality, it increases the le size; on
the other hand, “High”, the lowest image quality, decreases the le size.

4.2.2 Image
Exposure
This section mainly allows user to control the settings pertaining to exposure mode and day night modes.
Figure 4 - 5: Exposure
Basic Settings
●Exposure Mode
There are 4 modes to select from as follows:
• Auto: with certain pre-settings, the camera automatically determines the correct exposure for pictures without user input
settings for further exposure before taking videos.
• Flickerless: this mode allows camera to override the shutter speed, which will help avoid from the interference of uorescent
lights in some environments.
• Shutter Priority: it enables user to select a specic shutter speed for adjustment of aperture to ensure a correct and proper
exposure.
• Manual: a mode that allows user to manually control both gain value and shutter speed. It is recommended for an
experienced administrator to adopt this mode.
●Max / Min Shutter Speed
Select the minimum and maximum shutter speed individually for the “Auto” exposure mode only.
●Fixed Iris Control:
• Full: the Iris will always leep fully open to maintain enough exposure.
●EV
It is the exposure compensation option telling camera by setting value from -2 to 2 for scenes to be either darker or brighter.
(Unavailable when exposure mode is Manual)
24
●BLC
Set an area for Backlight Compensation. Backlight Compensation is a function that achieves the brightness of a selected area to
optimal image level. This function is necessary when an auto iris lens tends to close quickly due to an intense light coming from
back of object in the area wished to view, resulting in the area is too dark and dicult to see. In this case, users may set the area
corresponding to the portion wished to see. The area size illustrations are roughly as follows. (Unavailable when exposure mode
is Manual)
Figure 4 - 6: BLC Settings Illustrations
● HLC
High Light Compensation (HLC) is a function that suppresses intensied light sources in camera coverage so that image will
be free from disturbance of strong light and thus details like license plate under strong headlight can be recognized clearly.
(Unavailable when exposure mode is Manual)
●Shutter Speed
Users can adjust preferred shutter speed ranging from the fastest 1/10000 second to the slowest 1/7.5 (1/6.25) second.
(Available when exposure mode is Shutter Priority or Manual)
●Gain
This option allows user to control the gain value ranging from the lowest 0 to the highest 48. Larger the value, more
intensity of lights come into the camera and vice versa. (Available when exposure mode is Manual)
●Digital WDR
It is intended to provide clear images even under backlight circumstances where intensity of illumination can vary
excessively, namely where there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the eld of view. WDR enables
the capture and display of both bright and dark areas in the same frame, in a way that there are clear details in both areas, i.e.
bright areas are not saturated, and dark areas are not too dark.
Day Night Settings
Figure 4 - 7: Day Night Setting
25
●Day Night Switch Control – Mode
Set Day Night mode from 3 options, Auto, Color and B/W. When Color mode is selected, the camera is forced to stay in
Color mode permanently. On the other hand, the camera keeps within black and white mode when B/W is selected. Auto
simply let the camera to, based on dierent intensity of lights, switch between 2 modes automatically.
●Day Night Switch Control – Time
To set the delay (buered) time for switching between day and night modes. Fast means camera instantly switch with
nearly no delay time between day/night mode. And Slow stands for camera has a longer delay buered time prior to
switching between day/night modes. (Unavailable when exposure mode is Manual)
●Day Night Switch Control – Sensitivity
It determines the sensitivity of the day/night mode switching mechanism. Larger the value (High) represents camera is
prone to auto switch from day to night or night to day mode for minor light intensity change. On the other hand, smaller
the value (Low) indicates camera is going to switch from day to night or night to day mode on the basis of major changes
of surrounding light intensity. (Unavailable when exposure mode is Auto or Manual)
●IR Control - IR Mode
Click “ON” to let camera enable IR LED permanently, and click “Auto” to let camera switch on or o IR LED based on light
intensity of dierent applications. Click “OFF” to simply turn o IR LED.
●IR Control – IR Optimizer
IR optimizer function provides clear image under IR LED, click “ON” or “OFF” to enable or disable it.
●IR Control – IR Level
Click “Auto” to let the camera automatically determines the IR intensity for the camera, or click“Manual” to manually set
preferred IR intensity. It allows users to adjust IR intensity ranging from 10 to 100.
White Balance
This section allows user to set the white balance values to meet ambient conditions for best color rendition.
Figure 4 - 8: White Balance Settings
●Mode
• ATW: Auto Tracing White Balance continuously adjusts the camera color balance in accordance with any change in color
temperature simultaneously.
• Auto: it automatically controls color temperature ranging from 2500°K to 10000°K

RTSP
RTSP is a standard protocol for connecting a client to establish and control streaming data over the web. If you want to allow
third-party devices or software to access video/audio streams from the IP camera over the network, you must congure the
RTSP ports. The major dierence between Unicast and Multicast is the way how client and server communicate packets with
each other. Specically, unicast transmits packets under 1 to 1 device method and multicast, on the other hand, transmits
via the way of 1 to multiple devices. Hence, unicast requires large network bandwidth and occupies more resources of server
but is more stable because of its simple structure; by contrast, multicast needs less bandwidth with resources and is more
practical for multiple devices broadcast on condition that all relevant peripheral devices like switch or router support the
multicast protocol. Please adopt proper method based on your network applications for better eciency.
Figure 4 - 14: RTSP Settings
●Basic Settings & Authentication
Enabling the authentication will improve the verifying mechanism and thus make the RTSP connection process more
secured and much safer. To enable it, simply enter the Login ID, Password and Port (554 by default) with selecting “ON” in
Authentication. Turning “ON” for Auto Connect will enable auto connection. Please note that it is not required to enable
authentication beforehand to proceed with RTSP.
●URL
Input a preferred name for representing each RTSP Stream URL. Basically it refers to Unicast URL protocol which
transmitting data via one host to a single host, consuming more network bandwidth but with a direct and simple
transmission method. After dene preferred URL name for each stream, you can, via 3rd party software, enter the address
like the following examples for RTSP URL streaming.
• rtsp://(camera IP address)/(URL stream 1)
• rtsp://(camera IP address)/(URL stream 2)
• rtsp://(camera IP address)/(URL stream 3)
For example: rtsp://192.168.1.30/URL stream1
●Metadata
Turn Metadata ON to enable data about data, which means the data information will be allocated systematically, allowing
similar data together by certain criteria and also distinguishing dissimilar data organizationally to eectively transmitting
date information.
31
●Multicast URL
Diering from URL, Multicast URL can transmit data from one host to a single host or to all hosts, thus consuming less
network bandwidth with more exibility. However, it is required to make sure if the peripherals connected with the
camera are all compatible with Multicast in advance. The address for Multicast is roughly same with the previous URL.
Please refer to the samples below:
• rtsp://(camera IP address)/(Multicast URL stream 1)
• rtsp://(camera IP address)/(Multicast URL stream 2)
• rtsp://(camera IP address)/(Multicast URL stream 3)
For example: rtsp://192.168.1.30/Multicast URL stream1
●Address Type
By selecting “Manual”, user can advance to the further Video and Meta settings below, while “Auto” simply keeps the
original settings by the camera
• Video & Meta Address/Port
Complex in its transmitting procedure and layer structure, Multicast streaming requires more specific settings
containing Video Address/Port and Meta Address/Port, both of which, as the UI suggesting, have a certain IP address
range (224.0.1.1 – 239.255.255.254) for user to dene individually.
