This section allows you to configure Video stream settings, On screen display and Snapshot settings.

4.5.1 Video Settings

There are two ways to set the stream video settings. They are main stream video settings and sub stream video settings.

text_image Setup Wizard Status Basic Settings Network Video Video Settings On Screen Display Privacy Zone Snapshot Settings IR LED Schedule Alarm Record Firewall System Video Settings Main stream video settings Enhanced Night Vision Definition Stream Type HD Mode Resolution 720P Bit Rate 2M Frame Rate 30 Key Frame Interval 30 Variable bitrate Yes Sub stream video settings Stream Type HD Mode Resolution 720P Bit Rate 512K Frame Rate 10 Key Frame Interval 30

Enhanced Night video Definition: The camera will automatically drop the frame to extend the recording time in the night.

Stream Type: There are four types to identify different streams you have set. If select the HD Mode, the clearer video will become, and it will take up more bandwidth; If select the Smooth Mode, the bandwidth is very narrow, and bit rate is large, that will lead to video can not play well. The Equilibrium Model is a value between HD Mode and Smooth Mode.

Resolution: The camera supports multiple types, For example: 1080P, 960P, 720P, VGA. The higher the resolution is, the clearer video will become. But the code flux will become larger too, and it will take up more bandwidth. (Different models support different specific types.)

Bit Rate: Generally speaking, the larger the bit rate is, the clearer video will become. But the bit rate configuration should combine well with the network bandwidth. When the bandwidth is very narrow, and bit rate is large, that will lead to video can not play well.

Frame Rate: Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. You should lower frame rate when the bandwidth is limited. Normally, when the frame rate above 15, you can achieve fluently video. The maximum frame rate for each model is different, please see the 6.3 Specification.

Key Frame Interval: The time between last key frame and next key frame. The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get a better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption.

Rate Control Mode: There are three rate control modes.

CBR: Constant Bit Rate, it means that the Bit Rate is constant.

VBR: Variable Bit Rate, the camera will change the video bit rate according to the situation, but will not more than the maximum parameter "Bit Rate".

LBR: Low Bit Rate. If you can select the LBR, then you can slide the scroll bar to choose percentage of the bit rate. By reducing the bit rate, so that the camera can obtain a better image at low bandwidth.

6.1.3 Unable to connect to router wirelessly

After setup wireless configuration, and input the wireless password correctly, save the settings. Normally, after you disconnect the Ethernet cable, wait for few minutes camera will show up again in Equipment Search Tool (or show up in router's DHCP client list/LAN list) with a new IP address. That indicates your camera's connected wirelessly.

If not, please follow below steps to help camera connect wirelessly.

Step1: Please make sure wireless signal is strong enough to connect with.

(1) Make sure the camera antenna is fixed well;
(2) Best to keep the distance between the camera and router in 2\~3 meters while setup;
(3) There's no interference or obstacles from house appliance or walls;

Step2: Please check if the frequency band of the wireless signal is 2.4GHz.

Our cameras only support connecting to 2.4GHz frequency wireless band. If your wireless router is dual band, that supports two frequency band 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

Please set the 2.4GHz and 5GHz with different SSIDs, and make sure configure camera to connect with the 2.4GHz SSID.

Step3: Please check if your wireless password contains special characters.

Remove special character in SSID and wireless password to have a try.

Step 4: Reboot camera and router to have a check.

If above are all confirmed, power off and on the camera and router may help camera to connect.

Step 5: Please log-in the router and check if the MAC filter feature is enabled.

Camera has wired and wireless MAC, they are different. If your router has wireless MAC filtering turned on, it'll block camera to connect. Please turn it off, or add camera's MACs in the allow list.

Step 6: Please change the wireless channel, and the wireless encryption of router to have a try.

Change channel helps reduce influence from nearby WiFi networks, you can try 3,6, or 11 for example. As for encryption, suggest use WPA2/PSK AES.

Step7: At last reset camera to default, and please try re-configure the wireless settings again.

6.1.4 Forgot camera's user name and password

Camera can be hard reset to default settings, when you forgot camera's login user name and password. Below are the steps:
