6.6 System Configuration

6.6.1 MPEG4 Cameras, Dome Cameras and Network Video Server

This screen is used to configure camera name, location, operation mode and system information, as well as time configuration for the camera.

Camera Name

Define the camera name, maximum of 10 characters.

Camera Location

Define the camera location, maximum of 10 characters.

Operation Mode and Output Stream Type

There are three operation modes for the camera: Single (MPEG4 Only), Single (JPEG Only) and Dual (MPEG4+JPEG). In Dual mode, the camera can encode and transmit both MPEG4 and JPEG images simultaneously over the network, whereas in Single mode only MPEG4 or JPEG video will be encoded and transmitted. In Dual (MPEG4+JPEG) mode only, the Output Stream Type is selectable between JPEG stream and MPEG4 stream. The stream type defines which type of data is sent to users connecting via a Web browser. Also in Dual mode, audio communication from PC to camera is not available, whereas in Single mode (which uses MPEG4 only) bi-directional audio communication is available.

Direct Public Access to Image via HTTP

The purpose of this function is to allow your video surveillance program to access the camera image even if the software offers no support for MPEG4 cameras.

JPEG images are only transmitted in Dual (MPEG4+JPEG) and Single (JPEG Only) mode and are accessible through http://camera IP (URL)/jpg/imagename.jpg. In Single (MPEG4) mode, this function is not activated. When "enabled" is selected, anyone can access the camera image without entering a username or password (example: http://192.168.1.221/jpg/image.jpg).

When "disable" is selected in order to view the image, a username and password must be given (example: http://guest:guest@192.168.1.221/jpg/image.jpg).
