Client Settings

This chapter explains how to select the stream transmission mode and saving options at local

computer� When completed with the settings on this page, click Save on the page bottom to take effect�

MPEG-4 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of MPEG-4 streaming: UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams� However, network

packets may be lost due to network burst trafc and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection

when occasions require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less important� Note that each unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the Network Camera allows up to ten simultaneous accesses�

UDP multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all clients requesting streaming media� This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the Network Camera

while serving multiple clients at the same time. Note that to utilize this feature, the Network Camera must

be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time� For more information, please refer to RTSP Streaming on page 38�

TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video quality� Nevertheless, the downside with this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol�

HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and you don’t need to open specic port

for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a rewall can utilize this protocol to allow

streaming data to come through�

Video quality settings for stream 1 / stream 2

Advanced mode

The Network Camera offers two choices of video compression standards for real-time viewing, so you

can choose MPEG-4 or MJPEG for dual streams.

Click the items to display the detailed configurations. You can set up two seperate streams for the Network Camera for different viewing devices. For example, set a smaller frame size and a lower bit rate for remote viewing on mobile phones; or set a larger video size and a higher bit rate for live viewing on

web browsers� If MPEG-4 mode is selected, it is streamed in RTSP protocol� There are four dependent parameters

provided in MPEG-4 mode for video performance adjustment�

■ Frame size Select the video size. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. The frame sizes are selectable in the following resolutions: 176 x 144, 320 x 240 and 640 x 480.

■ Maximum frame rate This limits the maximal refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for a smoother video

quality�

If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at the following rates: 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps and 25fps. If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the

■ Intra frame period

Determine how often to plant an I frame� The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get a better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption� Select the intra frame period from the following duration: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds and 4 seconds�

■ Video quality

A complex scene generally produces larger le size, meaning that higher bandwidth will be needed

for data transmission� Therefore, if Constant bit rate is selected, the bandwidth utilization is xed at a selected level, resulting in mutable video quality performances� The bit rates are selectable at the following rates: 20Kbps, 30Kbps, 40Kbps, 50Kbps, 64Kbps, 128Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 768Kbps, 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 3Mbps and 4Mbps. You can also select Customize, and manually enter a value�

On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are transmitted with the same quality;

bandwidth utilization is therefore unpredictable. The video qualities are selectable at the following

settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed and Excellent. You can also select Customize, and

manually enter a value�

If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends JPEG images to the clients,

producing dynamic effects similar to movies. Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same image quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage. And because the media contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the clients. There are three

dependent parameters provided in MPEG-4 mode for video performance adjustment�

■ Frame size Select the video size. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. The frame sizes are selectable in the following resolutions: 176 x 144, 320 x 240 and 640 x 480.

■ Maximum frame rate This limits the maximal refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for a smoother video

quality�

If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at the following rates: 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps and 25fps. If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the

NOTE

► How does motion detection work?

There are two parameters for setting the motion detection: Sensitivity and Percentage� In the

illustration above, frame A and frame B are two sequential images. Pixel differences between the

two frames are detected and highlighted in gray (frame C), and will be compared with the sensitivity

setting. Sensitivity is a value that expresses the sensitivity to moving objects. Higher sensitivity

settings are expected to sense a slight movement while smaller sensitivity settings tend to neglect

it. When the sensitivity is set to 70%, the Network Camera denes the pixels in the purple areas as

“alerted pixels” (frame D).

Percentage is a value that expresses the proportion of “alerted pixels” to all pixels in the motion

detection window. In this case, 50% of pixels are identied as “alerted pixels”. When the percentage is

set to 30%, the motions are judged to exceed the dened threshold; therefore, the motion window will

be outlined in red�

For applications that require higher security management, it is suggested to set higher sensitivity

settings and smaller percentage values�

URL Commands of the Network Camera

Overview

For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, Network Camera/

Video server can be easily integrated through convenient URLs. This section specifies the external HTTP

based application programming interface� The HTTP based camera interface provides the functionality to request a single image, to control camera functions (PTZ, output relay etc�) and to get and set internal parameter values� The image and CGI-requests are handled by the built in Web server�

Style convention

In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, a text within angle brackets denotes a content that is to be replaced with either a value or a string. When replacing the text string also the angle brackets shall be replaced. An example of this is the description of the name for the server, denoted with <servername> in the URL syntax description below, that is replaced with the string myserver in the URL syntax example, also below.

URL syntax' are written with the “Syntax:" word written in bold face followed by a box with the referred

syntax as seen below. The name of the server is written as <servername>. This is intended to be

replaced with the name of the actual server� This can either be a name, e�g�, "mywebcam" or "thecam� adomain�net" or the associated IP number for the server, e�g�, 192�168�0�220�

Syntax:

http://<servername>/cgi-bin/viewer/video�jpg

Description of returned data is written with "Return:" in bold face followed by the returned data in a box. All data returned as HTTP formatted, i�e�, starting with the string HTTP is line separated with a Carriage Return and Line Feed (CRLF) printed as \r\n�

Return:

HTTP/1.0 <HTTP code> <HTTP text>\r\n

URL syntax examples are written with "Example:" in bold face followed by a short description and a light grey box

with the example.

Example: request a single snapshot image

http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/viewer/video�jpg

General CGI URL syntax and parameters

CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or other separators. When the CGI request includes internal camera parameters, the internal parameters must be written exactly as they are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs are organized in function related directories under the cgi-bin directory. The file extension of the CGI is required. Syntax: http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext> [?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]
