Video quality settings for stream 1 / stream 2

The Network Camera offers two choices of video compression standards for real-time viewing: MPEG-4 and MJPEG.

Click the items to display the detailed configutations. 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-4mode 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, 352 x 240 and 640 x 480.

■Maximum frame rate

This limits the maximal refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for a smoother video quality.

If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at the following rates: 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 the following rates: 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps and 30fps.

■ Intra frame period

Determine how often to plant an I frame. The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get a better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption. Select the intra frame period from the following duration: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds and 4 seconds.

■ Video quality

A complex scene generally produces larger file size, meaning that higher bandwidth will be needed for data transmission. Therefore, if Constant bit rate is selected, the bandwidth utilization is fixed 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.

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.

FD7132 specifications

The Vivotek FD7132 is a compact and versatile network camera designed for indoor surveillance applications. This device excels in delivering high-quality video, making it an ideal choice for various security needs, such as retail stores, offices, and public spaces where a discreet and effective monitoring solution is required.

One of the standout features of the FD7132 is its 1-megapixel resolution, which provides clear and detailed images at a maximum resolution of 1280x800 pixels. This allows users to monitor their environments with excellent clarity, ensuring that important details are captured, such as faces or license plates.

The camera is equipped with a fixed lens that offers a wide field of view, enabling comprehensive coverage of large areas. This is particularly beneficial for environments where space monitoring is critical. Moreover, the WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology allows the FD7132 to perform optimally in challenging lighting conditions, effectively balancing bright and dark areas in a scene to produce clear images even in high-contrast situations.

Another significant aspect of the FD7132 is its Smart Streaming technology, which optimizes bandwidth and storage use without compromising video quality. This feature allows users to configure their bandwidth usage according to their specific needs, thus extending the capabilities of existing network infrastructure.

The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying the installation process by allowing power and data to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable. This capability eliminates the need for additional power outlets in areas where installation space is limited.

Security is paramount in surveillance devices, and the Vivotek FD7132 does not disappoint. It includes features such as built-in security mechanisms, ensuring the protection of data transmitted over the network. The camera also supports multiple streaming formats, enhancing interoperability with various video management systems.

Overall, the Vivotek FD7132 is characterized by its user-friendly design, high video quality, and advanced features that cater to the evolving requirements of modern security and surveillance applications. Whether for small businesses or larger enterprises, this network camera offers reliable performance and peace of mind through effective monitoring and surveillance capabilities.
