or
or
or
1:N Connection .
In this configuration, a site can be monitored from many remote central locations. Although up to 64 PCs
or decoders can be connected to one NCAM-531BIR, in the real network environment, network
bandwidth can limit the maximum connections. Functionally, the central monitoring system (CMS)
software provided can replace the decoder.
Multicast Mode
If the network supports multicasting, a large number of decoders can be used to receive video effectively
from a NCAM-531BIR using a single streaming of video and audio. However, multicast mode is possible
only when network environment supports multicast.
Relay
Video and audio data can be retransmitted from a center to another center. The arrangement is useful
when the network bandwidth to the site is limited while there are more than one center want to monitor
the site.

A time zone is a region of the earth that has uniform standard time, usually referred to as the local
time. By convention, time zones compute their local time as an offset from UTC (Coordinated
Universal Time). In casual use, GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) can be considered equivalent to UTC.
Local time is UTC plus the current time zone offset for the considered location
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems
over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. It is designed particularly to resist the effects
of variable latency by using a jitter buffer.

Encode
Enable Preview
1. Select ON to enable to display video on the monitor that is connected to the composite or HD-SDI
video port.
2. Select the Output format accordingly in the end of the Video page.
Note that when Enable Preview is ON, dual streaming is not available.
When the video is transmitted directly to the monitor through BNC cable, the video does not go thorough
network and encoding. Therefore, there is less delay and no an effect from network limitation.
Resolution
Select video encoding resolution.
13 steps of the resolution are available.
Scaling option is used when encoding resolution is different from input compression. Without Scaling
option, input video will be cut according to encoding resolution. On the other hand, if Scaling is selected,
input video will be adjusted according to encoding resolution.
Frame rate
Determine the maximum number of frames per second for the video stream.
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,15,20,25 and 30 frame rate can be selected. The actual frame rate of video can be less
than the maximum frame rate set due to the network bandwidth limitation
Preference
Select encoding mode to control video quality: Quality or Bit rate.
If ‘Bit rate’ selected, the video encoding will be effected by the ‘Bit rate’ value entered. Therefore, “Bit
rate” mode is CBR (Constant Bit rate) encoding.
If ‘Quality’ selected, the video encoding will be effected by the quality of image selected. Therefore,
“Quality” mode is VBR (Variable Bit Rate) encoding.
NCAM-531BIR User Manual
1.3 Megapixel IP Camera Manual
23/44
Quality
Select Video quality. 7 levels of quality are available.
Quality mode (VBR encoding) adjusts the bit rate according to the image complexity, using higher
bandwidth for increased activity in the video and lower bandwidth for decreased activity. It is preferred
when the activity change in the video is significant or the network capacity is insufficient to allot certain
bit rate continually.
Bit rate
Determine bit rate value between 0 ~ 8000kbps.
Bit rate mode (CBR encoding) allows you to set a fixed target bit rate that consumes a predictable
amount of bandwidth. If the network capacity is good enough to allot certain bit rate and substantial bit
rate is set, lowering quality can be prevented regardless of the activity change in the video.
I-Frame Interval
Determine I-frame Interval between 0 and 255.
There will be no I-frames if 0 is selected.
H.264 Profile
Select H.264 Profile: High Profile or Baseline Profile
The standard defines various sets of capabilities, which are referred to as profiles, targeting specific
classes of applications.
- High Profile (HiP)
The 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).
- Baseline Profile (BP)
Primarily for low-cost applications that require additional data loss robustness, this profile is used in
some videoconferencing and mobile applications. This profile includes all features that are supported
in the Constrained Baseline Profile, plus three additional features that can be used for loss
robustness (or for other purposes such as low-delay multi-point video stream compositing).

Domain Name System (DNS) is a database system that translates a computer's fully qualified
domain name into an IP address. Networked computers use IP addresses to locate and connect to
each other, but IP addresses can be difficult for people to remember. For example, on the web, it's
much easier to remember the domain name www.amazon.com than it is to remember its
corresponding IP address (207.171.166.48). Each organization that maintains a computer network
will have at least one server handling DNS queries. That server, called a name server, will hold a list
of all the IP addresses within its network, plus a cache of IP addresses for recently accessed
computers outside the network.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used by network management systems to
communicate with network elements. SNMP lets TCP/IP-based network management clients use a
TCP/IP-based internetwork to exchange information about the configuration and status of nodes.
SNMP can also generate trap messages used to report significant TCP/IP events asynchronously to
interested clients. For example, a router could send a message if one of its redundant power supplies
fails or a printer could send an SNMP trap when it is out of paper

The NCAM-531BIR has one sensor port and one alarm port.
When a decoder system instead of a PC client is connected to a NCAM-531BIR, one system becomes a
Local system and the other a Remote system (Generally a system which is being used by the user is
called as Local system). Then, actions for events can be configured for events from the remote system
as well as for local system. For example, it is possible to turn on an alarm device in local (center)
decoder system when a sensor device in remote (site) IP camera is triggered. Local section configures
the actions for events from local (self) system, and configuration activates local devices and Remote
sections configure the actions for events from remote (peer) system.
The following table lists the possible actions for events.
