The settings relating to JPEG/MPEG-4 images and camera operations such as the settings of image quality, preset
positions, audio, etc. can be configured on this page.
The "Camera setup" page has 4 tabs; the [JPEG/MPEG-4] tab, the [Cam Function] tab, the [Image/Position] tab and
the [Audio] tab.
Configure the settings relating to JPEG/MPEG-4 images [JPEG/MPEG-4]
Click the [JPEG/MPEG-4] tab on the "Camera setup" page. (☞ pages 4 and 5: How to display/operate the setup
menu)

Refer to page 21 for further information about the settings relating to MPEG-4 images.
[Refresh interval (JPEG)*]
Select an interval to refresh the displayed JPEG image
from the following.
0.1 fps/0.2 fps/0.33 fps/0.5 fps/1 fps/2 fps/3 fps/5 fps/
6 fps */10 fps */15 fps */30 fps *
Default: 5 fps
Note:
When "ON" is selected for "MPEG-4 transmission",
the refresh interval may be longer than the set value
when any value with an asterisk (*) on the right is
selected.
[Image capture size]
Select "QVGA" or "VGA" for the image capture size of
JPEG images.
Default: VGA
[Image quality]
Select image quality of JPEG images from the following.

Default: 5 Normal
21
■ MPEG-4 setup
Click the [JPEG/MPEG-4] tab on the "Camera setup" page. (☞ pages 4 and 5: How to display/operate the setup
menu)
Configure the settings relating to MPEG-4 image such as "Max bit rate (per 1 client)", "Image capture size", "Image
quality", etc. in this section. Refer to page 20 for further information about the settings relating to JPEG images.
Refer to page 76 for how to configure settings to transmit MPEG-4 images via the Internet.
[MPEG-4 transmission]
Select "ON" or "OFF" to determine whether or not to
transmit MPEG-4 images.
ON: Transmits MPEG-4 images.
OFF: Does not transmit MPEG-4 images.
Default: ON
Note:
When "ON" is selected for "MPEG-4" transmission,
displaying of MPEG-4 images or JPEG images will
be available. However, the refresh interval (JPEG)
may be longer than the set value when displaying
JPEG images.
[Max bit rate (per 1 client)*]
Select a MPEG-4 bit rate per a client from the following.
(Constant bit rate) 64 kbps/128 kbps */256 kbps */
512 kbps */1024 kbps */1536 kbps */2048 kbps */
3072 kbps */4096 kbps */(frame rate priority)
4096 kbps */unlimited *
Default: 2048 kbps *
Note:
The MPEG-4 bit rate is synchronized with "Total bit
rate" on the [Network] tab of "Network setup" page
(☞ page 54). For this reason, the bit rate may be
lower than the value when any value with an asterisk
(*) on the right is selected.
[Image capture size]
Select "QVGA" or "VGA" for the image capture size of
MPEG-4 images.
Default: VGA
[Image quality]
Select the image quality of MPEG-4 images from the
following.
Fine/Normal/Low
Default: Normal
Note:
This item is disabled when "(frame rate prioritized)
4096 kbps *" or "unlimited *" is selected for a bit rate
per a client.
[Refresh interval (MPEG-4)]
Select an interval (I-frame interval; 0.2 - 5 seconds) to
refresh the displayed MPEG-4 images.
If using under a network environment with frequent error
occurrences, shorten the refresh interval for MPEG-4 to
diminish image distortions. However, the refresh interval
may be longer than the set value.
0.2 sec/0.33 sec/0.5 sec/1 sec/2 sec/3 sec/4 sec/5 sec
Default: 3 sec
[Transmission type]
Select a MPEG-4 transmission type from the following.
Unicast port (AUTO): Up to 8 users can access a sin-
gle camera concurrently. "Unicast port1 (Image)"
and "Unicast port2 (Audio)" will automatically be
selected when transmitting images and audio from
the camera.
22
When it is unnecessary to fix the port number for
MPEG-4 image transmission such as when using in
a particular LAN environment, it is recommended to
select "Unicast port (AUTO)".
Unicast port (MANUAL): Up to 8 users can access a
single camera concurrently. It is necessary to select
"Unicast port1 (Image)" and "Unicast port2 (Audio)"
manually to transmit images and audio from the
camera.
It is possible to fix the port number of the router used
for MPEG-4 image transmission via the Internet by
setting "Unicast port (MANUAL)". (☞ page 76)
Refer to the operating instructions of the router in
use.
Multicast: No concurrent access limitation for a cam-
era.
Refer to Operating Instructions for further information
about the maximum concurrent access number.
Default: Unicast port (AUTO)
[Unicast port1 (Image)]
Enter the unicast port number (used to transmit images
from the camera).
Available port number: 1024 - 50000 (Only even num-
bers are available.)
Default: 32004
[Unicast port2 (Audio)]
Enter the unicast port number (used to transmit audio
from the camera).
Available port number: 1024 - 50000 (Only even num-
bers are available.)
Default: 33004

Enter the multicast IP address.
Images and audio will be transmitted to the designated
IP address.
Available IP address: 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255
Default: 239.192.0.20
[Multicast port]
Enter the multicast port number (used to transmit
images from the camera).
Available port number: 1024 - 50000 (Only even num-
bers are available.)
Default: 37004
[Multicast TTL]
Enter the multicast TTL value.
Available value: 1 - 254
Default: 16
Important:
• Depending on the PC in use for monitoring, the multicast port number may be already in use. In this
case, it may be impossible to monitor images.
Change the multicast port number.
• When transmitting an MPEG-4 image via a network,
the transmitted image sometimes may not be displayed. In this case, refer to the network administrator.
• When two or more network interface cards are
installed on the PC in use, the network interface
card(s) not used for receiving images should be
invalidated when displaying images using the multicast port.

function. This function is effective, for example, when
the camera is installed on a utility pole.
ON: Vibration is reduced.
OFF: Vibration is not reduced.
Default: OFF
Important:
• When "ON" is selected for this function, the view
angle becomes narrower and the image capture size
is reduced. When installing the camera with this
function set to "ON", adjust the view angle.
(☞ Operating Instructions)
The stabilizer may not be effective for the following
subjects:
• Objects in low lighting

Note:
When "ON" is selected, the panning/tilting degree
and the zoom factor will be displayed at the position
selected for "OSD Position" on the [Basic] tab of the
"Basic setup" page. (☞ page 9)
[Tilt Angle]
Select the maximum degree for tilting from the following.
(Level = 0°)
0°/–1°/–2°/–3°/–4°/–5°
Default: 0°
