Select to stream video or audio data or both� This is enabled only when the video mode is set to MPEG-4�

MPEG-4 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes for MPEG-4 streaming:

UDP unicast: This protocol allows for better real-time audio and video streams� However, network

packets may be lost due to network burst trafc and images may be broken. Activate the 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 congured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, see RTSP

Streaming on page 34�

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 the UDP protocol�

HTTP: This protocol allows for the same transmission quality as the TCP protocol without needing to

open specic ports for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a rewall can utilize

this protocol to allow streaming data 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: MPEG-4

and MJPEG.

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

browsers�

If MPEG-4 mode is selected, the video is streamed via RTSP protocol� There are four parameters provided in MPEG-4 mode which allow you to adjust the video performance:

■ 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, 352 x 240, and 720 x 480�

■ Maximum frame rate

This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second� Set the frame rate higher for smoother video

quality�

If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps,

8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, and 25fps. If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the frame rates are

selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 30fps. You can also select

Customize and manually enter a value�

VIVOTEK - A Leading Provider of Multimedia Communication Solutions

58 - User's Manual

■ Intra frame period

Determine how often to plant an I frame� The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get better

video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption� Select the intra frame period

from the following durations: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and 4 seconds�

■ Video quality

A complex scene generally produces a 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 performance� 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 quality can be adjusted to 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 client, producing

a moving effect similar to a lmstrip. Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same image

quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage� Because the media contents

are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the client. There are three parameters provided in MJPEG mode to control the video performance:

■ 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, 352 x 240, and 720 x 480�

■ Maximum frame rate

This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second� Set the frame rate higher for smoother video quality�

If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, and 25fps. If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 30fps. You can also select Customize and

manually enter a value�

■ Video quality

The video quality can be adjusted to the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed, and

Excellent. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value�

NOTE

Video quality and xed quality refers to the compression rate, so a lower value will produce higher quality.

IR cut lter With a removable IR-cut lter and built-in IR illuminators effective up to 15m, this Network Camera can automatically remove the lter and turn on the IR illuminators to let IR light into the sensor during low

light conditions�

■ Auto mode

The Network Camera automatically removes the lter by judging the level of ambient light.

■ Day mode

In day mode, the Network Camera switches on the IR cut lter at all times to block infrared light from

reaching the sensor so that the colors will not be distorted�

■ Night mode

In night mode, the Network Camera switches off the IR cut lter at all times for the sensor to accept

infrared light, thus helping to improve low light sensitivity�

■ Schedule mode

The Network Camera switches between day mode and night mode based on a specied schedule.

Enter the start and end time for day mode� Note that the time format is [hh:mm] and is expressed in

24-hour clock time� By default, the start and end time of day mode are set to 07:00 and 18:00�

External microphone input: Select the gain of the external audio input according to ambient conditions� Adjust the gain from +21 db (most sensitive) or -33 db (least sensitive)�

Audio type: Select audio codec AAC or GSM-AMR and the bit rate�

■ AAC provides good sound quality at the cost of higher bandwidth consumption. The bit rates are

selectable from: 16Kbps, 32Kbps, 48Kbps, 64Kbps, 96Kbps, and 128Kbps�

■ GSM-ARM is designed to optimize speech quality and requires less bandwidth. The bit rates are

selectable from: 4�75Kbps, 5�15Kbps, 5�90Kbps, 6�7Kbps, 7�4Kbps, 7�95Kbps,10�2Kbps, and

NOTE

► How does motion detection work?

There are two motion detection parameters: 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 detect slight movements while smaller sensitivity settings will neglect them� 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 a high level of security management, it is suggested to use higher sensitivity settings and smaller percentage values�

Appendix

URL Commands for the Network Camera

Overview

For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, the Network Camera/Video Server can be easily integrated through URL syntax� This section specifies the external HTTP-based application programming interface� The HTTP-based camera interface provides the functionality to request a single image, control camera functions (PTZ, output relay etc�), and 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, text within angle brackets denotes content that is to be replaced with either a value or a string� When replacing the text string, the angle brackets should also 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 further down in the page�

URL syntax is denoted with the word "Syntax:" written in bold face followed by a box with the referenced syntax as shown below� For example, name of the server is written as <servername> and 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 is returned in HTTP format, i�e�, each line is 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, these parameters must be written exactly as

they are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs are organized in functionally-related directories

under the cgi-bin directory. The file extension .cgi is required.

Syntax:

http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext>

[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]

Example: Set digital output #1 to active
