H.264 / MPEG-4 Protocol Options  
H.264/MPEG-4 Protocol Options  
Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of H.264 or 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, please refer to  
RTSP Streaming on page 46.  
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 the same quality as 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.

IEEE 802.1x  
Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 802.1x, which is a port-based network  
access control. The network devices, intermediary switch/access point/hub, and RADIUS server must  
support and enable 802.1x settings.  
The 802.1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area networks, which provides  
authentication to network devices (clients) attached to a network port (wired or wireless). If all certificates  
between client and server are verified, a point-to-point connection will be enabled; if authentication fails,  
access on that port will be prohibited. 802.1x utilizes an existing protocol, the Extensible Authentication  
Protocol (EAP), to facilitate communication.  
The components of a protected network with 802.1x authentication:  
Authenticator  
(Network Switch)  
Authentication Server  
(RADIUS Server)  
Supplicant  
(Network Camera)  
Supplicant: A client end user (camera), which requests authentication.  
Authenticator (an access point or a switch): A “go between” which restricts unauthorized end users  
from communicating with the authentication server.  
1.  
2.  
Authentication server (usually a RADIUS server): Checks the client certificate and decides whether to  
3.  
accept the end user’s access request.  
VIVOTEK Network Cameras support two types of EAP methods to perform authentication: EAP-PEAP  
and EAP-TLS.  
Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x settings:  
1. Before connecting the Network Camera to the protected network with 802.1x, please apply a digital  
certificate from a Certificate Authority (ie. MIS of your company) which can be validated by a RADIUS  
server.  
2. Connect the Network Camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN. Open the  
configuration page of the Network Camera as shown below. Select EAP-PEAP or EAP-TLS as the  
EAP method. In the following blanks, enter your ID and password issued by the CA, then upload  
related certificate(s).

VIVOTEK  
3. When all settings are complete, move the Network Camera to the protected LAN by connecting it to an  
802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the authentication automatically.  
NOTE  
► The authentication process for 802.1x:  
1. The Certificate Authority (CA) provides the required signed certificates to the Network Camera (the  
supplicant) and the RADIUS Server (the authentication server).  
2. A Network Camera requests access to the protected LAN using 802.1X via a switch (the authenticator).  
The client offers its identity and client certificate, which is then forwarded by the switch to the RADIUS  
Server, which uses an algorithm to authenticate the Network Camera and returns an acceptance or  
rejection back to the switch.  
3. The switch also forwards the RADIUS Server’s certificate to the Network Camera.  
4. Assuming all certificates are validated, the switch then changes the Network Camera’s state to  
authorized and is allowed access to the protected network via a pre-configured port.

QoS (Quality of Service)  
Quality of Service refers to a resource reservation control mechanism, which guarantees a certain quality  
to different services on the network. Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity  
is insufficient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be defined as, for  
instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc.  
The following are the main benefits of a QoS-aware network:  
The ability to prioritize traffic and guarantee a certain level of performance to the data flow.  
The ability to control the amount of bandwidth each application may use, and thus provide higher  
reliability and stability on the network.  
Requirements for QoS  
To utilize QoS in a network environment, the following requirements must be met:  
All network switches and routers in the network must include support for QoS.  
The network video devices used in the network must be QoS-enabled.  
QoS models  
CoS (the VLAN 802.1p model)  
IEEE802.1p defines a QoS model at OSI Layer 2 (Data Link Layer), which is called CoS, Class of  
Service. It adds a 3-bit value to the VLAN MAC header, which indicates the frame priority level from 0  
(lowest) to 7 (highest). The priority is set up on the network switches, which then use different queuing  
disciplines to forward the packets.  
Below is the setting column for CoS. Enter the VLAN ID of your switch (0~4095) and choose the priority  
for each application (0~7).  
If you assign Video the highest level, the switch will handle video packets first.  
NOTE  
► The VLAN Switch (802.1p) is required. The web browsing may fail if the CoS setting is incorrect.  
► Class of Service technologies do not guarantee a level of service in terms of bandwidth and delivery  
time; they offer a "best-effort." Users can think of CoS as "coarsely-grained" traffic control and QoS as  
"finely-grained" traffic control.  
► Though CoS is simple to manage, it lacks scalability and does not offer end-to-end guarantees since it  
is based on L2 protocol.

QoS/DSCP (the DiffServ model)  
DSCP-ECN defines QoS at Layer 3 (Network Layer). The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model is  
based on packet marking and router queuing disciplines. The marking is done by adding a field to the  
IP header, called the DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint). This is a 6-bit field that provides 64  
different class IDs. It gives an indication of how a given packet is to be forwarded, known as the Per Hop  
Behavior (PHB). The PHB describes a particular service level in terms of bandwidth, queueing theory,  
and dropping (discarding the packet) decisions. Routers at each network node classify packets according  
to their DSCP value and give them a particular forwarding treatment; for example, how much bandwidth  
to reserve for it.  
Below are the setting options of DSCP (DiffServ Codepoint). Specify the DSCP value for each application  
(0~63).

Unicast video transmission delivers a stream through point-to-point transmission; multicast, on the other  
hand, sends a stream to the multicast group address and allows multiple clients to acquire the stream at  
the same time by requesting a copy from the multicast group address. Therefore, enabling multicast can  
effectively save Internet bandwith.

VIVOTEK  
If H.264 / MPEG-4 mode is selected, the video is streamed via RTSP protocol. There are four parameters  
for you to adjust the video performance:  
■ Frame size  
You can set up different video resolution 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. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth.  
■ Maximum frame rate  
This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for smoother video  
quality.  
For IP8332:  
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. The frame rate will decrease if you select a higher resolution.  
For IP8330:  
It supports up to 60 fps @ 640 x 480. If you want to view smooth and crystal-clear video with 60 fps,  
we sugguest you set up the IP8330 in an environment with sufficient ambient light source. In addition,  
please manually select maximum frame rate at 60fps and set the shutter time (maximum exposure  
time) at 1/60s.

VIVOTEK  
■ 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, 4Mbps, 6Mbps, and 8Mbps. 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  
You can set up different video resolution 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. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth.  
■ Maximum frame rate  
This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for smoother video  
quality.  
■ 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.  
Converting high-quality video may significantly increase the CPU loading, and you may encounter  
streaming disconnection or video loss while capturing a complicated scene. In the event of occurance,  
we suggest you customize a lower video resolution or reduce the frame rate to obtain smooth video.

► 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.

An event is an action initiated by a user-defined trigger source; it is the causal arrangement of the  
following three elements: Trigger, Event Schedule, and Action.  
Trigger  
This is the cause or stimulus which defines when to trigger the Network Camera. The trigger source can  
be configured to use the Network Camera’s built-in motion detection mechanism or external digital input  
devices.  
There are several choices of trigger sources as shown below. Select the item to display the detailed  
configuration options.  
■ Video motion detection  
This option makes use of the built-in motion detection mechanism as a trigger source. To enable this  
function, you need to configure a Motion Detection Window first. For more information, please refer to  
Motion Detection on page 63 for details.  
■ Periodically  
This option allows the Network Camera to trigger periodically for every other defined minute. Up to 999  
minutes are allowed.  
■ Digital input  
This option allows the Network Camera to use an external digital input device or sensor as a trigger  
source. Depending on your application, there are many choices of digital input devices on the market  
which helps to detect changes in temperature, vibration, sound, and light, etc.  
■ System boot  
This option triggers the Network Camera when the power to the Network Camera is disconnected.  
■ Recording notify  
This option allows the Network Camera to trigger when the recording disk is full or when recording  
starts to rewrite older data.

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

3. General CGI URL Syntax and Parameters  
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
