Introduction
OVERVIEW
The OE-C7084-AWR and the OE-C7088-AWR are high power, outdoor IP dome cameras equipped with a
4MP or an 8MP 2.8~12mm motorized autofocus lens that provides crisp and clear images. These
cameras include WDR and True Day/Night for improved low light performance, and adaptive IR
technology to prevent overexposure of objects close to the camera. Network throughput and storage
requirements are reduced thanks to H.264 smart encoding technology which dynamically compresses
the camera’s video to reduce its bitrate. These cameras are IP67 rated and function down to -31°F
making them a perfect fit for extreme weather installations. In addition, these cameras can be fully
powered over PoE, reducing labor costs by eliminating additional cabling requirements.

GOP, and Smart Encoding.
2. Enable and configure the Sub-Stream if desired.
3. Click Save to save each selection.
Smart Encoding – Turn on Smart Encoding to enable H.264+ encoding to reduce bit rate.
Resolution and Frame Rate – Use the dropdown menu to select the base resolution and frame rate for
the main stream.
Note Higher frame rate will increase video smoothness, but will increase file size and bandwidth
usage. Lowering the frame rate will conserve file size and bandwidth usage at the expense of
video smoothness.
Video Compression – H.264, H.265, and MJPEG are available for video compression.
Image Quality – If the Encoding Mode is set to VBR, you can adjust the quality level for images by moving
the sliding bar. The Quality side of the bar improves video quality, and the Bit Rate side of the bar reduces
Bit rate.
I-Frame Interval / GOP – The Group of Pictures setting allows you to modify the frame structure of the
video stream. This setting changes the frequency of the I-frames that occur within the stream of Pframes. Increasing this number increases the number of P-frames between each I-frame, decreasing the
file size of the stream, but increasing the risk of video decoding errors. It is recommended setting the
GOP to be approximately twice the frame rate.
22
Smoothing – Configure the amount of video smoothing. Moving the sliding bar toward Smoothing
increases the level of smoothing but may affect image quality.
Smart Encoding – The camera may be equipped with smart compression (H.264+), which drastically
reduces the overall bit rate.
Note In a poor network environment, you can enable smoothing to get more fluent video.
Snapshot
The Snapshot tab is used to configure the settings for timed or continual snapshots.
To configure Snapshots:
1. Use the dropdowns to select the desired Resolution, Image Quality, Snapshot Interval,
and the Number of Snapshots.
2. If you desire Scheduled Snapshots, select Timed Snapshot Mode, and designate an
