MPEG-4 Media Options

Select whether 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 configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time� For more information, please refer to RTSP Streaming on page 42�

TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video quality� However, the 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�

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 maximum refresh frame rate per second� Set a higher frame rate 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�

■ 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�

VIVOTEK

■ 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 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 fixed quality refers to the compression rate, so a lower value will produce higher

Motion Detection

This section explains how to congure the Network Camera to enable motion detection. A total of three motion detection windows can be congured.

Follow the steps below to enable motion detection:

1� Click New to add a new motion detection window� 2� In the Window Name text box, enter a name for the motion detection window�

■ To move and resize the window, drag and drop your mouse on the window.

■ To delete window, click X on the top right corner of the window.

3� Define the sensitivity to moving objects and the space ratio of all alerted pixels by moving the

Sensitivity and Percentage slider bar� 4� Click Save to enable the settings� 5� Select Enable motion detection to enable this function�

For example:

The Percentage Indicator will rise or fall depending on the variation between sequential images� When motions are detected by the Network Camera and are judged to exceed the defined threshold, the red bar rises� Meanwhile, the motion detection window will be outlined in red� Photos or videos can be

captured instantly and congured to be sent to a remote server (Email, FTP) by utilizing this feature as a

trigger source� For more information on how to set an event, please refer to Application on page 66�

Percentage = 30%

A

C

A green bar indicates that even though motions have been detected, the event has not been triggered

because the image variations still fall under the dened threshold.

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�

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 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

VIVOTEK

User's Manual - 89

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>...]]

Example: Setting digital output #1 to active

http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/dido/setdo.cgi?do1=1
