2) Network

The network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled. When using IPv4, the IP address for the network camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the network camera receives an IP address according to the configuration in the network router. There is also an option of using the Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the network, please see "System > Network > Basic".

Basic Configuration Basic Configuration Users Network Video & Image Audio Date & Time Live View Video & Image Audio Event System About Network IP Address Configuration Obtain IP address via DHCP Use the following IP address ; - IP address 192 , 168 , 30 , 252 - Subnet mask 255 , 255 , 255 , 0 - Default router 192 , 168 , 30 , 1 Save Reset

• Obtain IP address via DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP server is mostly used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP address for a particular MAC address.

• Use the following IP address: To use a static IP address for the network camera, check the radio button and then make the following settings:

• IP address: Specify a unique IP address for your network camera.

• Subnet mask: Specify the mask for the subnet the network camera is located on.
• Default router: Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for connecting devices attached to different networks and network segments.

NOTES:

1. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the network camera by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, you may have to reset it to the factory default settings and then perform the installation again.
2. The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started, or as soon as an IP address is set.
3. Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.

- Sensor Setting:

- Capture mode: User can select sensor capture mode between 30 fps and 60 fps in full-HD resolution. If 60fps is selected, Stream 3 is disabled and hidden from the window. In other words, the camera provides triple stream at 30 fps and dual stream at 60 fps.

- Stream 1 Setting:

- Codec: The codec supported in Stream 1 is H.264. There are 3 pre-programmed stream profiles available for quick set-up. Choose the form of video encoding you wish to use from the drop-down list:

* H.264 HP (High Profile): Primary profile for broadcast and disc storage applications, particularly for high-definition television applications (for example, this is the profile adopted by the Blu-ray Disc storage format and the DVB HDTV broadcast service).

* H.264 MP (Main Profile): Primary profile for low-cost applications that require additional error robustness, this profile is used rarely in videoconferencing and mobile applications; it does add additional error resilience tools to the Constrained Baseline Profile. The importance of this profile is fading after the Constrained Baseline Profile has been defined.

* H.264 BP (Baseline Profile): Originally intended as the mainstream consumer profile for broadcast and storage applications, the importance of this profile faded when the High Profile was developed for those applications.

- Resolution: This enables users to determine a basic screen size when having an access through the Web Browser or PC program. The screen size control comes in seven modes like 1920x1080, 1280x1024, 1280x960, 1280x720, 1024x768, 704x576, 704x480, 640x480, 640x360 and 320x240. Users can change the selected screen size anytime while monitoring the screen on a real-time basis.

- Bitrate control: The bit rate can be set as Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constrained Variable Bit Rate (CVBR). VBR adjusts the bit rate according to the image complexity, using up bandwidth for increased activity in the image, and less for lower activity in the monitored area. Limiting the maximum bit rate helps control the bandwidth used by the H.264 video stream. Leaving the Maximum bit rate as unlimited maintains consistently good image quality but increases bandwidth usage when there is more activity in the image. Limiting the bit rate to a defined value prevents excessive bandwidth usage, but images are degraded when the limit is exceeded.

* VBR: unlimited maximum bitrate.

* CVBR: VBR with maximum bitrate which is set in Bitrate.

- Bitrate: Maximum bitrate for CVBR in the range of 100kbps \~ 8Mbps. This is disabled if Bitrate control is set to VBR.

- Frame rate: Upon the real-time play, users should select a frame refresh rate per second. If the rate is high, the image will become smooth. On the other hand, if the rate is low, the image will not be natural but it can reduce a network load.

- GOP size: Select the GOP (Group of Picture) size. If users want to have a high quality of fast image one by one, please decrease the value. For the purpose of general monitoring, please do not change a basic value. Such act may cause a problem to the system performance. For the details of GOP setting, please contact the service center.

- Stream 2 Setting:

Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the frame rate and quality helps to control the bandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG video stream in these situations. Limiting the frame rate and quality optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality. To prevent increased bandwidth and storage usage, the Resolution, Frame rate, and Frame Quality should be set to an optimal value.

- MJPEG Resolution: Same as the stream 1 settings.

- MJPEG Frame rate: Same as the stream 1 settings.

- MJPEG Quality: Select the picture quality. If users want to have a high quality of fast image one by one, please decrease the value. For the purpose of general monitoring, please do not change a basic value. Such act may cause a problem to the system performance.

- Stream 3 Setting: Same as the Stream 1 Setting.
