11.5. Bandwidth Control Co nf igur ation

Bandwidth control is for limiting maximum network traffic. If it is enabled wit h Bandwidth limits,
maximum data size transferred from VITEK cameras won’t exceed bandwidth limits set by users. If
transferred data is exceeded, part of the data will be randomly lost.

If multiple users try to access a VITEK camera when bandwidth control is enabled, users
connected to the VITEK camera will share network bandwidth limit.

Note: This bandwidth control feature works well in M-JPEG video transmission. But, for

H.264, dropping data packets may cause low quality of video, so it is
recommended to utilize CBR and frame rate control instead of bandwidth control
for H.264 video. Refer to
info on CBR and Frame rate

Note: Network Bandwidth control i s managed by the VITEK camera and it drops any data

packets if required, thus you may experience slow connection when this feature
is enabled.

11.8. IP-CCTV DNS Setup

Note: Refer to Section 36 IP-CCTV DNS Registration on page 141 for further details on
configuration

IP- CCTV DNS service provides a static & public domain name to help user’s access VITEK cameras
even though their IP address has changed or they are used in a local network. For proper function
of IP-CCTV DNS service, products need to be accessible through the internet.

47

ENVI Series: VT-IPSN16M

.

11.9. Port Forwarding & UPnP

UPnP(Universal Plug and Play)is a kind of network protocol to help users to find and configure
network products in the same local network area. Port forwarding is to assign a certain network
port to a network product so users can access it from outside of the Local Area Network. Generally,
port forwarding can be configured from the network router.

UPnP port forwarding is made up with finding an availa b le network port, assigning it to a VITEK
camera and reporting overall network configuration of a VITEK camera to IP-CCTV DNS server.
Users have to register products into IPCCTVDNS server and IP-CCTV DNS service should be
enabled.

There are 3 options in UPnP Port Forwarding.

• Manual: User Assigned Port issued when users can access network router (hub) and
manually assign available network ports to VITEK cameras. In this case, users have to type
already-assigned network ports under User Assigned port.

• UPnP: User Assigned Port is used when users want VITEK cameras to configure port
forwarding of network hub with user-assigned network port. If it fails, try to change user­assigned port

• UPnP: Auto Selected Port is used to let VITEK cameras deal with all network configurations
automatically.

Please note that the network router needs to support UPnP Port Forwarding. There is a limit for the
maximum number of UPnP devices. If it is properly configured, results will be displayed under
UPnP status.

11.10. RTP/RT SP Set up Factory default is Enable to be used with other manufactures VMS software’s

RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) is a protocol to transfer video and audio streams over the
network. Any application supporting Standard RTSP can be used for VITEK cameras. Quick Time
Player or VLC program can be used with this; it may not be supported in the environment within a
firewall. There are two types of usage; one for Unicast address condition and the other for
Multicast address condition.

For Unicast Address:

Use “rtsp://network video server ip address/cam0_0”. If there are multiple channels, use
cam0_x, x (0~3) with each number applied. If there are multiple modules, use camx_0 x (0 ~ 3)
with each module number applied.

For Multicast Address:

Use “rtsp://network video server ip address/mcam0_0”. If there are multiple channels, use
mcam0_x, x (0~3) with each channel number applied. If there are multiple modules, use mcamx_0
x (0 ~ 3) with eac h module number applied.

Click Camera & Motion on Device Co n fi g ur a ti on menu. The configuration menu will be
displayed, and it may be different between VITEK cameras.

• M-JPEG: This format requires much higher network bandwidth than H.264 compression. But
because of its higher quality of still image, it is ade q uate for detailed reviewing of stored video.

• H.264: In this format, each frame data is related to other nearby frames. For this reason, it
provides much higher compression ratio than M-JPEG and is adequate for video transfer.
However, if network conditions are limited dropped frames in video data is possible, the video
quality can be relatively low. With VITEK Cameras, you can set the number of P-frames in the
video which is independent still images between I-frames.

Note: For Dual Stream products, most of the parameters are dependent on primary

stream value.
