Video Streams

The configuration for video streams, including resolution, framerate and image quality parameters can be found under Video & Audio> Video Streams.

The page is split into settings for 2 streams. Common settings are:

• Video format - The compression format for the video stream.

o H.264 - Provides the best compres sion, and clear picture, but

is processor intensive.

o MPEG4 - Provides more compression that MJPEG, but loses

picture quality.

o MJPEG - (Stream 1 only) Provides minimal compression, with

superior picture quality. Each frame is stored as a discrete JPEG image.

• Video Resolution - Sets the resolution of the video output. 4 options are available: D1 (720x480, Stream 1 only), VGA(640x480), QVGA(320x240) , QQVGA(160x120, MPEG4, MJPEG only).

• Video Frames per Second - Sets the number of frames per second. 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 FPS are possible values.

www.surveon.com

Surveon CAM6160/6180

• Key Frame Interval - Sets the period between minimally compressed recovery frames that don't require other video frames to decode. 1/4s, 1/2s, 1s, 2s, 3s, and 4s are possible values.

• Video Quality Settings - Sets the quality of the video image.

There are 2 modes in the Video Stream 2 Settings:

• Normal Mode - All parameters may be changed.

o Constant Bit Rate - In this m ode, the camera will maintain a

constant bit rate output, regardless of video quality. Bit rates available are dependent on the video resolution chosen, and range from 32 kbps to 6 Mbps.

o Fixed quality - In this mode, the camera will attempt to

maintain a constant quality output, up to a maximum bandwidth of 6 Mbps.

• 3GPP Mode - All parameters will default to settings that are compatible with mobile viewing. The default in this case is 5fps QQVGA video, with MPEG4 compression at 128kbps and 2 seconds between key frames. None of the parameters can be changed.
