2) Network
The network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be
enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled. When using IPv4,
the IP address for the network camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP
address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the network camera an IP address according
to the configuration in the network router. There is also the option of using the Internet
Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the network, please see “3.5.7 System
> Network > Basic”.
•••• Obtain IP address via DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol
that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP
addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP server is mostly
used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP
address for a particular MAC address.
•••• Use the following IP address: To use a static IP address for the network camera, check
the radio button and then make the following settings:
- IP address: Specify a unique IP address for your network camera.
- Subnet mask: Specify the mask for the subnet the network camera is located on.
- Default router: Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for connecting
devices attached to different networks and network segments.
NOTES:
1. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if your DHCP
server can update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the network camera by
name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, you may have to
reset it to the factory default settings and then perform the installation again.
2. The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started, or as
soon as an IP address is set.
3. Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.
19
3) Video & Image
•••• Sensor Setting:
- Capture mode: Use can select video frame rate at either 60/50fps or 30/25fps of
resolution 1920x1080.
•••• Stream 1 Setting:
- Codec: The codec settings are separated into H.264. H.264 is also known as MPEG-4
Part 10. This is the new generation compression standard for digital video. This function
offers higher video resolution than Motion JPEG or MPEG-4 at the same bit rate and
bandwidth, or the same quality video at a lower bit rate.
- Profile: There are 3 pre-programmed stream profiles available for quick set-up. Choose
the form of video encoding you wish to use from the drop-down list:
* H.264 HP (High Profile): Primary profile for broadcast and disc storage applications,
particularly for high-definition television applications (for example, this is the profile
adopted by the Blu-ray Disc storage format and the DVB HDTV broadcast service).
* H.264 MP (Main Profile): Primary profile for low-cost applications that require additional
error robustness, this profile is used rarely in videoconferencing and mobile
applications; it does add additional error resilience tools to the Constrained Baseline
Profile. The importance of this profile is fading after the Constrained Baseline Profile
has been defined.
* H.264 BP (Baseline Profile): Originally intended as the mainstream consumer profile
for broadcast and storage applications, the importance of this profile faded when the
High Profile was developed for those applications.
- Resolution: This enables users to determine a basic screen size when having an access
through the Web Browser or PC program. The screen size control comes in seven modes
like 1920x1080, 1280x1024, 1280x720, 704x576, 704x480, 640x480 and 320x240.
20
Users can reset the selected screen size anytime while monitoring the screen on a realtime basis.
- Bit rate control: Limiting the maximum bit rate helps control the bandwidth used by the
H.264 video stream. Leaving the Maximum bit rate as unlimited maintains consistently
good image quality but increases bandwidth usage when there is more activity in the
image. Limiting the bit rate to a defined value prevents excessive bandwidth usage, but
images are lost when the limit is exceeded.
NOTE: The maximum bit rate can be used for both variable and constant bit rates.
The bit rate can be set as Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR). VBR
adjusts the bit rate according to the image complexity, using up bandwidth for increased
activity in the image, and less for lower activity in the monitored area.
CBR allows you to set a fixed target bit rate that consumes a predictable amount of
bandwidth. As the bit rate would usually need to increase for increased image activity, but
in this case cannot, the frame rate and image quality are affected negatively. To partly
compensate for this, it is possible to prioritize either the frame rate or the image quality
whenever the bit rate needs to be increased. Not setting a priority means the frame rate
and image quality are equally affected.
- Bit rate: When it is necessary to adjust a smooth transmission status according to network
situations, users can increase the compressibility to carry out the network transmission
stably. On the other hand, when it is necessary to maintain a detailed monitoring screen
by enhancing the image quality, users can do so by decreasing the compressibility. In
each case, please adjust this function according to the network status and monitoring
purposes.
- Frame rate: Upon the real-time play, users should select a frame refresh rate per second.
If the rate is high, the image will become smooth. On the other hand, if the rate is low, the
image will not be natural but it can reduce a network load.
- GOP size: Select the GOP (Group of Picture) size. If users want to have a high quality of
fast image one by one, please decrease the value. For the purpose of general monitoring,
please do not change a basic value. Such act may cause a problem to the system
performance. For the details of GOP setting, please contact the service center.
•••• Stream 2 Setting: Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery.
Adjusting the frame rate and quality helps to control the bandwidth and storage used by the
Motion JPEG video stream in these situations. Limiting the frame rate and quality optimizes
bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality. To prevent increased
bandwidth and storage usage, the Resolution, Frame rate, and Frame Quality should be set
to an optimal value.
- MJPEG Resolution: Same as the stream 1 settings.
- MJPEG Frame rate: Same as the stream 1 settings.
- MJPEG Quality: Select the picture quality. If users want to have a high quality of fast
image one by one, please decrease the value. For the purpose of general monitoring,
please do not change a basic value. Such act may cause a problem to the system
performance.
•••• Stream 3 Setting: Same as the Stream 1 Setting.
When satisfied with the settings, click the Save button, or click the Reset button to revert to
previously saved settings.
