MPEG-4 Media Options
Select to stream video or audio data or both� This is enabled only when the video mode is set to MPEG-4�
MPEG-4 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes for MPEG-4 streaming:
UDP unicast: This protocol allows for better real-time audio and video streams� However, network
packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be broken. Activate the 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� The downside of this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol�
HTTP: This protocol allows for the same transmission quality as the TCP protocol without needing to
open specific ports for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a firewall can utilize
this protocol to allow streaming data 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 configuration settings. You can set up two seperate streams for the
Network Camera for different viewing devices. For example, set a smaller frame size and lower bit rate
for remote viewing on mobile phones and a larger video size and a higher bit rate for live viewing on web
browsers�
If MPEG-4 mode is selected, the video is streamed via RTSP protocol� There are four parameters
provided in MPEG-4 mode which allow you to adjust the video performance:
■ 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 720 x 480�
■ Maximum frame rate
This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second� Set the frame rate higher for smoother video
quality�
If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 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 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 30fps. You can also select
Customize and manually enter a value�

■ Intra frame period
Determine how often to plant an I frame� The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get better
video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption� Select the intra frame period
from the following durations: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and 4 seconds�
■ Video quality
A complex scene generally produces a 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 performance� The bit rates are selectable at the
following rates: 20Kbps, 30Kbps, 40Kbps, 50Kbps, 64Kbps, 128Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 768Kbps,
1Mbps, 2Mbps, 3Mbps, and 4Mbps. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value�
On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are transmitted with the same quality;
bandwidth utilization is therefore unpredictable. The video quality can be adjusted to the following
settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed, and Excellent. You can also select Customize and
manually enter a value�
If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends JPEG images to the client, producing
a moving effect similar to a filmstrip. Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same image
quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage� Because the media contents
are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the client. There are three parameters
provided in MJPEG mode to control the video performance:
■ 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 720 x 480�
■ Maximum frame rate
This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second� Set the frame rate higher for smoother video
quality�
If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 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 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 30fps. You can also select Customize and
manually enter a value�
■ Video quality
The video quality can be adjusted to the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed, and
Excellent. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value�
NOTE
►
Video quality and fixed quality refers to the compression rate, so a lower value will produce higher quality.

IR cut filter
With a removable IR-cut filter and built-in IR illuminators effective up to 15m, this Network Camera can
automatically remove the filter and turn on the IR illuminators to let IR light into the sensor during low
light conditions�
■ Auto mode
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 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
infrared light, thus helping to improve low light sensitivity�
■ Schedule mode
The Network Camera switches between day mode and night mode based on a specified schedule.
Enter the start and end time for day mode� Note that the time format is [hh:mm] and is expressed in
24-hour clock time� By default, the start and end time of day mode are set to 07:00 and 18:00�
Light sensor sensitivity
Select Low, Normal, or High for the light sensor sensibility�
Disable IR LED
If you do not want to use the IR illuminators, you can select this option to turn it 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 even if audio transmission is enabled on the
Client Settings page� In that case, the following message is displayed:
External microphone input: Select the gain of the external audio input according to ambient conditions�
Adjust the gain from +21 db (most sensitive) or -33 db (least sensitive)�
Audio type: Select audio codec AAC or GSM-AMR and the bit rate�
■ AAC provides good sound quality at the cost of higher bandwidth consumption. The bit rates are
selectable from: 16Kbps, 32Kbps, 48Kbps, 64Kbps, 96Kbps, and 128Kbps�
■ GSM-ARM is designed to optimize speech quality and requires less bandwidth. The bit rates are
selectable from: 4�75Kbps, 5�15Kbps, 5�90Kbps, 6�7Kbps, 7�4Kbps, 7�95Kbps,10�2Kbps, and

NOTE
► How does motion detection work?
C
A
B
D
There are two motion detection parameters: 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
detect slight movements while smaller sensitivity settings will neglect them� 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 a high level of security management, it is suggested to use higher
sensitivity settings and smaller percentage values�

Appendix
URL Commands for the Network Camera
Overview
For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, the Network
Camera/Video Server can be easily integrated through URL syntax� This section specifies the external
HTTP-based application programming interface� The HTTP-based camera interface provides the
functionality to request a single image, control camera functions (PTZ, output relay etc�), and 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, text within angle brackets denotes content that
is to be replaced with either a value or a string� When replacing the text string, the angle brackets
should also be replaced� An example of this is the description of the name for the server, denoted with
<servername> in the URL syntax description below, that is replaced with the string myserver in the URL
syntax example further down in the page�
URL syntax is denoted with the word "Syntax:" written in bold face followed by a box with the referenced
syntax as shown below� For example, name of the server is written as <servername> and is intended to
be replaced with the name of the actual server� This can either be a name, e�g�, "mywebcam" or "thecam�
adomain�net" or the associated IP number for the server, e�g�, 192�168�0�220�
Syntax:
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/viewer/video�jpg
Description of returned data is written with "Return:" in bold face followed by the returned data in a box� All data is
returned in HTTP format, i�e�, each line is separated with a Carriage Return and Line Feed (CRLF) printed as \r\n�
Return:
HTTP/1�0 <HTTP code> <HTTP text>\r\n
URL syntax examples are written with "Example:" in bold face followed by a short description and a light grey box
with the example�
Example: request a single snapshot image
http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/viewer/video�jpg

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, these parameters must be written exactly as
they are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs are organized in functionally-related directories
under the cgi-bin directory. The file extension .cgi is required.
Syntax:
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext>
[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]
Example: Set digital output #1 to active
http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/dido/setdo.cgi?do1=1
