Description

 

 

Streaming Mode

Choose the mode that the IP camera uses for video streaming:

 

 

Single H.264 Stream—Configures H.264 for the primary stream. The

 

 

stream can be up to D1 resolution and 30 fps.

 

 

Single MPEG-4Stream—Configures MPEG-4 for the primary stream.

 

 

The stream can be up to D1 resolution and 30 fps for NTSC or 25 fps for

 

 

PAL.

 

 

Single MJPEG Stream—Configures MJPEG for the primary stream.

 

 

The stream can be up to D1 resolution and 30 fps.

 

 

Dual H.264 Streams—Configures H.264 for the primary stream and the

 

 

secondary stream. The primary stream can be up to 4 CIF and 30 fps for

 

 

NTSC or 25 fps for PAL. The secondary stream can be up to CIF and 15

 

 

fps.

 

 

Dual MPEG-4Streams—Configures MPEG-4 for the primary stream

 

 

and the secondary stream. The primary stream can be up to 4 CIF and 30

 

 

fps for NTSC or 25 fps for PAL. The secondary stream can be up to CIF

 

 

and 15 fps.

 

 

Dual Streams (H.264 + MJPEG)—Configures H.264 for the primary

 

 

stream and MJPEG for the secondary stream. The primary stream can be

 

 

up to 4CIF and 30 fps for NTSC or 25 fps for PAL. The secondary stream

 

 

can be up to CIF and 15 fps.

 

 

Dual Streams (MPEG-4 + MJPEG)—ConfiguresMPEG-4 for the

 

 

primary stream and MJPEG for the secondary stream. The primary

 

 

stream can be up to 4CIF and 30 fps for NTSC or 25 fps for PAL. The

 

 

secondary stream can be up to CIF and 15 fps.

 

 

H.264 Settings 1

 

Note These H.264 Settings options appear if you choose Single H.264 Stream, Dual H.264 Streams, or Dual Streams (H.264 + MJPEG) from the Streaming Mode drop-down list.

 

 

Resolution

Choose 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.
