4.2 Video Configuration

Video Configuration includes Image Settings, Video/Audio Setup, OSD, Privacy Mask and Region of Interest.

4.2.1 Image Configuration

In the Image Settings interface as shown below, various settings can be adjusted, such as brightness, contrast, hue and saturation and so on. The common mode and day and night mode can be set up separately. The image effect can be quickly viewed by switching the configuration file.

Brightness: Set the brightness level of the camera’s image. Contrast: Set the color difference between the brightest and darkest parts. Hue: Set the total color degree of the image. Saturation: Set the degree of color purity. The purer the color, the brighter the image is. Sharpness: Set the resolution level of the image plane and the sharpness level of the image edge. Noise Reduction: Decrease the noise and make the image more thorough. Increasing the value will make the noise reduction effect

better but it will reduce the image resolution. Defog: Activating this function and setting an appropriate value as needed in foggy, dusty, smoggy or rainy environment to get clear images. Backlight Compensation (BLC):

 Off: disables the backlight compensation function. It is the default mode.  HWDR: WDR can adjust the camera to provide a better image when there are both very bright and very dark areas

simultaneously in the field of the view by lowering the brightness of the bright area and increasing the brightness of the dark area. Recording will be stopped for a few seconds while the mode is changing from non-WDR to WDR mode.

 HLC: lowers the brightness of the entire image by suppressing the brightness of the image’s bright area and reducing the size of

the halo area.

 BLC: If enabled, the auto exposure will activate according to the scene so that the object of the image in the darkest area will be

seen clearly. HFR: High Frame Rate. If “ON” is selected, the system will restart and then the maximum value of the frame rate of the main stream can be set to 60 fps /50fps. Antiflicker:

 Off: disables the anti-flicker function. This is used mostly in outdoor installations.  50Hz: reduces flicker in 50Hz lighting conditions.  60Hz: reduces flicker in 60Hz lighting conditions.

Smart IR: Choose “ON” or “OFF”. This function can effectively avoid image overexposure and underexposure by controlling the brightness of the IR lights according to the actual conditions to make the image more realistic. Please enable it as needed.

White Balance: Adjust the color temperature according to the environment automatically. Frequency: 50Hz and 60Hz can be optional. Day/Night Mode: Choose “Auto”, “Day”, “Night” or “Timing”. Infra-red Mode: Choose “Auto”, “ON” or “OFF”. Shutter Mode: Choose “Auto” or “Manual”. If manual is chosen, the digital shutter speed can be adjusted. Corridor Pattern: Corridor viewing modes can be used for situations such as long hallways. 0, 90, 180 and 270 are available. The

default value is 0. The video resolution should be 1080P or below if this function is used.

Image Mirror: Turn the current video image horizontally. Image Flip: Turn the current video image vertically.

Schedule Settings of Image Parameters: Click the “Schedule” tab as shown below.

Set full time schedule for common, day or night mode and specified time schedule for day and night. Choose “Timing” in the drop-down box of schedule as shown below.

Drag “ ” icons to set the time of day and night. Blue means day time and blank means night time. If the current mode of camera

parameters is set to “Timing”, the image configuration mode will automatically switch between day and night according to the schedule.

4.2.2 Video / Audio Configuration

Go to ImageVideo / Audio interface as shown below. In this interface, set the resolution, frame rate, bitrate type, video quality and so on subject to the actual network condition.

Click the “Audio” tab to go to the interface as shown below.

Three video streams can be adjustable.

Resolution: The size of image. Frame rate: The higher the frame rate, the video is smoother. Bitrate type: CBR and VBR are optional. Bitrate is related to image quality. CBR means that no matter how much change is seen in

the video scene, the compression bitrate will be kept constant. VBR means that the compression bitrate will be adjusted according to scene changes. For example, for scenes that do not have much movement, the bitrate will be kept at a lower value. This can help optimize the network bandwidth usage.

Bitrate: it can be adjusted when the mode is set to CBR. The higher the bitrate, the better the image quality will be. Video Quality: It can be adjusted when the mode is set to VBR. The higher the image quality, the more bitrate will be required. I Frame interval: It determines how many frames are allowed between a “group of pictures”. When a new scene begins in a video,

until that scene ends, the entire group of frames (or pictures) can be considered as a group of pictures. If there is not much movement in the scene, setting the value higher than the frame rate is fine, potentially resulting in less bandwidth usage. However, if the value is set too high, and there is a high frequency of movement in the video, there is a risk of frame skipping. Video Compression: MJPEG, H264+, H264, H264S (Smart H.264), H265, H265+ or H265S (Smart H.265) can be optional. MJPEG is not available for main stream. If H.265/H.265+/ H.265S is chosen, make sure the client system is able to decode H.265/H.265+/ H.265S. Compared to H.265+/H.265, smart H.265 (H.265S) can spontaneously adjust the bitrate distribution according to the requirements of the actual scene. For example, when there is no vehicle detected, the bitrate will be automatically reduced with no effect on image quality by using H.265S. Compared to H.265, H.265+ saves more storage space with the same maximum bitrate in most scenes. Compared to H.264, H.265 reduces the transmission bitrate under the same resolution, frame rate and image quality.

Profile: For H.264. Baseline, main and high profiles are selectable. Send Snapshot: How many snapshots to generate for an event. Video encode slice split: If this function is enabled, smooth image can be gotten even though using the low-performance PC. Watermark: When playing back the local recorded video in the search interface, the watermark can be displayed. To enable it, check

the watermark box and enter the watermark text.

Audio Encoding: G711A and G711U are selectable. Audio Type: LIN.
