MPEG-4 Media Options

Select to stream video or audio data. This works only when the video mode is set to MPEG-4.

MPEG-4 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of MPEG-4 streaming:

UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network

packets may be lost due to network burst trafﬁc and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection

when occasions require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less important. Note that each

unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the Network Camera allows up

to ten simultaneous accesses.

UDP multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all clients

requesting streaming media. This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the Network Camera

while serving multiple clients at the same time. Note that to utilize this feature, the Network Camera

must be conﬁgured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, see RTSP

Streaming on page 34.

TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video

quality. Nevertheless, the downside with this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of

the UDP protocol.

HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and you don’t need to open speciﬁc port

for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a ﬁrewall can utilize this protocol to allow

streaming data to come through.

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-4 mode 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.

If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends JPEG images to the clients,

producing dynamic effects similar to movies. Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same

image quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage. And because the media

contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the clients. There are three

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.

■ Video quality

The video qualities are selectable at the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed and

Excellent.

Day/Night settings

Switch to B/W in night mode

Select it to enable the Network Camera to automatically switch to B/W in night mode.

IR cut ﬁlter

With a removable IR-cut filter and built-in IR illuminators, up to 15m, this Network Camera can

automatically remove the ﬁlter and turn on the IR illuminators to let IR light into the sensor for low light

sensitivity.

■ Auto

The Network Camera automatically removes the ﬁlter by judging the level of ambient light.

■ Day mode

In day mode, the Network Camera switches on the IR cut ﬁlter at all times to block the infrared light

from reaching the sensor so that the colors will not be distorted.

■ Night mode

In night mode, the Network Camera switches off the IR cut ﬁlter at all times for the sensor to accept

the infrared light, thus helps improve low light sensitivity.

■ Schedule mode

The Network Camera switches between day mode and night mode based on specified schedule.

Enter the starting time and ending time for the day mode. Note that the time format is [hh:mm] and is

expressed in 24-hour clock time. By default, the starting time and ending time of day mode are set to

07:00 and 18:00.

Light sensor sensitivity

Select Low, Normal, or High for the light senser sensibility.

Disable IR LED

If you don’t want to use IR illuminators, you can select this option to turn off.

Audio settings

Mute: Select this option to disable audio transmission from the Network Camera to all clients. Note

that if mute mode is turned on, no audio data will be transmitted to all clients even though the audio

transmission is enabled in the Client Settings page. In that case, the following message is displayed.

Internal microphone input gain: Select the gain of the internal audio input according to ambient

conditions. Adjust the gain from +21 db (most sensitive) ~ -33 db (least sensitive).

External microphone input: Select the gain of the external audio input according to ambient conditions.

Adjust the gain from +21 db (most sensitive) ~ -33 db (least sensitive).

Advanced mode

Audio type: Select audio codec AAC or GSM-AMR and the bit rate

■ AAC targets at performing good sound quality at the cost of higher bandwidth consumption. The bit

rates are selectable at the following rates: 16Kbps, 32Kbps, 48Kbps, 64Kbps, 96Kbps and128Kbps.

■ GSM-ARM is designed to optimize speech quality and requires less bandwidth. The bit rates are

selectable at the following rates: 4.75Kbps, 5.15Kbps, 5.90Kbps, 6.7Kbps, 7.4Kbps, 7.95Kbps,

10.2Kbps and 12.2Kbps.

When completed with the settings on this page, click Save to take effect.

NOTE

► The Network Camera offers two inputs to capture audio - internal microphone or external microphone.

The internal/external microphone switch is located on the side of the Network Camera.

Motion detection

This section explains how to conﬁgure the Network Camera to enable motion detection. A total

of three motion detection windows can be conﬁgured.

Video(TCP-AV)

Follow the steps below to enable motion detection:

1. Click New to add a new motion detection window.

2. In the Window Name text box, enter a descriptive name for the motion detection window.

■ To move and resize the window, drag-drop the window.

■ To delete window, click X at top right of the window.

3. Deﬁne the sensitivity to moving objects and the space ratio of all alerted pixels by moving the

Sensitivity and Percentage slider bar.

4. Click Save to take effect.

5. Select Enable motion detection to enable this function.

For example:

Video(TCP-AV)

The Percentage Indicator will rise or fall depending on the image variation. When motions are detected

by the Network Camera and are judged to exceed the deﬁned threshold, a red bar rises. Meanwhile,

the motion detection window will be outlined in red. Photos or videos can be captured instantly and

conﬁgured to send to the remote server (Email, FTP) by utilizing this feature as a trigger source. For

more information about how to plot an event, please refer to Application on page 54.

VIVOTEK - A Leading Provider of Multimedia Communication Solutions

A green bar indicates that even though motions are detected, the event will not be triggered because the

image variations are still falling under the deﬁned threshold.

Percentage = 30%

NOTE

► How does motion detection work?

There are two parameters for setting the motion detection: Sensitivity and Percentage. In the

illustration above, frame A and frame B are two sequential images. Pixel differences between the

two frames are detected and highlighted in gray (frame C), and will be compared with the sensitivity

setting. Sensitivity is a value that expresses the sensitivity to moving objects. Higher sensitivity

settings are expected to sense a slight movement while smaller sensitivity settings tend to neglect

it. When the sensitivity is set to 70%, the Network Camera deﬁnes the pixels in the purple areas as

“alerted pixels” (frame D).

Percentage is a value that expresses the proportion of “alerted pixels” to all pixels in the motion

detection window. In this case, 50% of pixels are identiﬁed as “alerted pixels”. When the percentage is

set to 30%, the motions are judged to exceed the deﬁned threshold; therefore, the motion window will

be outlined in red.

For applications that require higher security management, it is suggested to set higher sensitivity

settings and smaller percentage values.

Appendix

URL Commands of the Network Camera

Overview

For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, Network Camera/

Video server can be easily integrated through convenient URLs. This section specifies the external HTTP

based application programming interface. The HTTP based camera interface provides the functionality

to request a single image, to control camera functions (PTZ, output relay etc.) and to get and set internal

parameter values. The image and CGI-requests are handled by the built in Web server.

Style convention

In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, a text within angle brackets denotes a content

that is to be replaced with either a value or a string. When replacing the text string also the angle

brackets shall be replaced. An example of this is the description of the name for the server, denoted with

General CGI URL syntax and parameters

CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or other

separators. When the CGI request includes internal camera parameters, the internal

parameters must be written exactly as they are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs

are organized in function related directories under the cgi-bin directory. The file extension of the

CGI is required.

Syntax:

http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext>

[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]

Example: Setting digital output #1 to active

http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/dido/setdo.cgi?do1=1
