CUSTOM CONFIGURATION

The camera features dual video streams with programmable settings for compression, resolution, image rate, and bit rate. The default names for the streams are Primary and Secondary. Although each stream can be programmed independently, the settings of one stream can limit the options available for the other stream depending on the processing power used.

Figure 30. Custom Video Stream Configuration Page

NOTE: Always configure the Primary stream settings before configuring the Secondary stream. The Primary stream should always be the most resource-intensive of the streams.

To configure custom stream settings:

1.Click the Video Streams tab, and then select Custom Configuration from the drop-down menu.

2.Click both of the Clear buttons to delete the primary and secondary streams settings.

3.Under Primary Stream, type a user-friendly name into the Name box (2 to 64 characters). A user-friendly name makes it easier to recognize the stream (for example, Live and Recording). The Name field is an optional setting.

4.Select the Compression Standard, Resolution, Image Rate, and Bit Rate for the stream.

NOTE: The Compression standard, resolution, image rate, and bit rate settings are dependent on each other. Decide which setting is the main priority before configuring a stream. For example, if you want an image rate of 30 ips, set the image rate before the compression standard and resolution settings.

5.If required adjust the other settings for the compressions standard (refer to Compression Standards on page 41).

6.Repeat steps 3 to 5 for the Secondary stream.

7.Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.
