Perception
The camera is designed to capture human activities in a near-hemispheric field of view, at a
place such as a cashier or bank counter. Due to the optical characteristics of wide-angle lens,
image quality decreases as distance from an object increases. It is therefore recommended
to install the camera within 3 meters or closer to the objects of your interest. The focus center
should also be aligned with objects of importance, say, human faces.

Client Settings
This chapter explains how to select the stream transmission mode and saving options on the
local computer. When completed with the settings on this page, click Save on the page bottom
to enable the settings.
H.264 Media Options
Select to stream video or audio data or both. This is enabled only when the video mode is set to H.264.
H.264 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four options with the transmission protocols with
H.264 streaming:
UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network
packets may be lost due to network burst trafc 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 63.
TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video
quality. The downside of this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of using the UDP
protocol.
HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol without needing to open specic ports for
streaming under some network environments. Users behind a rewall can utilize this protocol to allow
camera’s streaming data to pass through.

Local Streaming Buffer Time
Due to possible occurrences of unsteady network transmission, live streaming may lag and not be very
smoothly. If you enable this option, the live streaming will be stored on the camera’s buffer for a few
seconds before being played on the client computer’s live view window. This helps produce a smoothlier
live streaming. If you enter a vlue of 3,000 milliseconds, the streaming will delay for 3 seconds.
