Description

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 file 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 file size is prone to be

smaller compared with MJPEG.

Resolution

3M(2048×1536) , 1080P(1920×1080) ,

SXGA(1280×960) ,720P(1280×720),

SVGA(800×600), VGA(640×480), VGA

(640x360), QVGA(320x240), QVGA (320x180)

3M(2048×1536) is the highest resolution

QVGA (320x180) is the lowest resolution.

Frame Rate (fps)

NTSC: 1~30

PAL: 1~25

The utmost fps settings for 2 systems varies as the following:

NTSC: H.264/MJPEG single stream: 2048×1536@15fps;

H.264/MJPEG single stream: 1920×1080 to 320x180@30fps

PAL:H.264/MJPEG single stream: 2048×1536@15fps;

H.264/MJPEG single stream: 1920×1080 to 320x180@25fps

GOP (Group Of

Pictures) Length

NTSC / PAL: 1~254

Select the GOP length number rangingfrom1 to 254.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 default GOP Length is 30

QoS (DSCP)

Codepoint

0 ~ 63

To classify and manage network traffic 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.

Bit Rate Mode

CBR: Constant Bit Rate

VBR: 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 fixed

rate by user definition, while VBR means variable mode in

which users can set a range of upper and lower limits

respectively for bit rate control.

Exposure

Figure 3 - 7: Exposure Settings

 Type

Exposure modes control the light intensity of picture. There are four modes, Manual, AES (Automatic

Electronic Shutter), ALC, and Flickerless, for adjustment depending on conditions. When in Manual

mode, Shutter Speed is adjustable.

 EV Compensation

Available only in Full Automatic mode, EV adjustment is the exposure compensation telling the unit by

setting the value from -2 to 2 with intervals of 0.5 for scenes to be either darker or brighter.

 Day &Night

Set DAY/NIGHT function. Move the cursor to select Auto/Color/BW mode. If selected Color mode, the

unit is forced the unit to stay in DAY(COLOR) mode all day; if BW, in BW (NIGHT) mode all day.

 Switching Sensitivity

Switching Sensitivity: To determine the sensitivity of the day/night mode switching mechanism. High

represents camera is prone to auto switch between day/night mode for minor light intensity change. On

the other hand, Low indicates camera is going to switch between day/night mode on the basis of major

changes of surrounding light intensity.

 Delay Time

To set the delay (buffered) time for switching between day/night mode. Fast means camera instantly

switch with nearly no delay time between day/night mode. And Slow stands for camera has a longer

delay buffered time prior to switching between day/night modes.

 Slow Shutter

Slow Shutter can be enabled if the sensitivity is still not good enough under “High” gain condition in the

dark. Optimal image level can be maintained by appropriate gain and shutter combination that

determined automatically inside the unit system. Slow Shutter can be selected from OFF, 1/30, 1/15, and

1/7.5 when camera type is set to NTSC, and 1/25, 1/12.5, and 1/6.25, when PAL. As slow shutter

activates, the exposure time becomes longer and frame rate becomes smaller, and moving objects may

result in blurred images.

26

 AGC Max

AGC (Auto Gain Control) is used to set AGC level of the unit. The circuit gain can be selected from 0to42

where the sensitivity characteristic increases in the same order. Noise in the dark will be more noticeable

when setting is toward the highest "42".If sensitivity is still too low after setting AGC, try setting the upper

bound of Slow Shutter value to further increase sensitivity and thus to enhance clearness.

 Noise Reduction

Noise reduction is the process of removing noises from a signal and be set from 0~255 to decrease noise

on the screen.

White Balance

Figure 3 - 8: White Balance Mode Settings

White Balance controls color on the screen. Options include Auto (Auto White Balance) which is default and

Manual mode. The color temperature range is 2500°K ~ 8500°K.

Set manual gain value of R Gain, G Gain & B Gain from 0 to 255.

 The red(R) gain is used to adjust the color of red in the viewing image and can be adjustable manually

ranging from 0 to 255 by user required.

 The green (G) gain is used to adjust the color of green in the viewing image and can be adjustable

manually ranging from 0 to 255 by user required.

 The blue (B) gain is used to adjust the color of blue in the viewing image and can be adjustable manually

ranging from 0 to 255 by user required.

 Saturation

Saturation describes the difference of a color from the gray of the same lightness. Increasing saturation

deepens the colors of your images, making reds redder and blues bluer. Users can adjust picture

saturation level from 0 to 255.Decreasing saturation brings the image closer to a grayscale (that is,

monochrome or black-and-white) image.

 Sharpness

Increasing the sharpness value will sharpen the edges and small feature of viewing images. If the edges

appear too smooth or blurred, increase the sharpness; otherwise, decrease the sharpness. Sharpness

value can be set from 0 to 15.

 Gamma Correction

Set gamma correction. You can select “1” or “0.45”.

 BLC

Figure 3 - 10: BLC Settings

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 due to an intense light coming from back of object in the area wished to view so that the

area is too dark and difficult to see. In this case, users may set the area correspond to the portion wished

28

to see. The area size illustrations are roughly as follows.

Figure 3 - 11: BLC Area Designation

 WDR

Figure 3 - 12: WDR Settings

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

field of view. WDR enables the capture and display of both bright and dark areas in the same frame, in a

way that there are details in both areas, i.e. bright areas are not saturated, and dark areas are not too

dark. Level of WDR can set as OFF/High/Mid/Low.

 Video Orientation

Figure 3 - 44: Recording Mode

 Authentication

Figure 3 - 45: Authentication

Select an authentication type as following details:

 No_Auth: No restriction

 Smtp_Plain: PLAIN is the name of a registered SASL authentication mechanism which serves as a

parameter to the AUTH command. The PLAIN authentication mechanism is described in RFC 2595.

Plain is the least secure of all the SASL authentication mechanisms since the password is sent

unencrypted across the network.

 Login: The Login mechanism is supported by Microsoft's Outlook Express and by some other

clients.

 Tls_Ttls:TLS is usually implemented on top of any of the Transport Layer protocols encapsulating

the application-specific protocols such as HTTP, FTP, SMTP, NNTP and XMPP. The TLS protocol

allows client-server applications to communicate across a network in a way designed to prevent

eavesdropping and tampering. TLS can also be used to tunnel an entire network stack to create a

VPN as is the case with OpenVPN.

 SMTP Server: Input a server name or address.

 User Name: Input a user name with privilege to access the server.

 Password: Input the password associated with Login ID.

 Sender‟s Email Address: Enter the mail address of the sender
