Chapter 3 Configuring and Managing the IP Camera

Audio/Video Windows

Audio/Video Windows

The Audio/Video windows provide options for configuring audio and video from the IP camera.

The following sections describe the Setup windows in detail:

•Video Window, page 3-14.

•Audio Window, page 3-17

Video Window

The Video window provides options for configuring the video from the IP camera. You can configure settings for the primary and an optional secondary video stream.

Configuring a secondary stream is useful for providing a video stream that is at a lower resolution than the primary stream to third-party devices or software. Some devices and software require this lower resolution. For related information, see the “Viewing Video through Third-Party Devices or Software” section on page 4-6.

To display the Video window, access the configuration windows as described in the “Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera” section on page 2-4, click, Audio/Video, then click Video.

If you change any options in the Video window, you must click Save to save the changes. To discard the changes, click Cancel before clicking Save. These buttons appear at the bottom of the window. You may need to scroll down to see them.

Table 3-8describes the options in the Video window.

MPEG-4 Settings 1

 

 

 

Resolution

Select the desired video resolution format for the primary video stream from

 

the IP camera.

 

The default resolution is 720 x 480 for NTSC or 720 x 576 for PAL.

 

 

Video Quality Control

Choose an option for the video quality of the primary video stream from the

 

IP camera:

 

• Constant Bit Rate—Specifies that the video stream is output at or close

 

to the constant bit rate that you choose. The default value is 4 Mbps. A

 

higher bit rate provides better video quality but consumes more

 

bandwidth.

 

• Fixed Quality—Specifies that video is output at a fixed quality, which

 

ranges from Very High to Very Low. The bit rate may vary to maintain

 

this quality. The default fixed quality is Normal. A higher fixed quality

 

provides better video quality but consumes more bandwidth.

 

You can use these options to help manage bandwidth use in your network.

 

For example, if the IP camera is focused on an area with little movement,

 

such as an emergency exit, you can configure it with a low fixed quality.
