  • Obtain IP address via DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a pro-tocol 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 1920x1080(2MP)/2592x1520(4MP) and NTSC/PAL (Some models are fixed to NTSC or PAL).

- Stream 1 Setting:

- Codec: The codec supported in Stream 1 is H.264 and H.265

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 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/H.265 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 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 several modes. 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 Constrained Bit Rate (CBR) or Constrained Variable Bit Rate (CVBR). Limiting the maximum bit rate helps control the bandwidth used by the H.264 or H.265 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.

  • CBR: Constrained bitrate.
  • CVBR: VBR with maximum bitrate which is set in Bitrate.

- Bitrate: Maximum bitrate for CBR in the range of 100kbps \~ 10Mbps.

- 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 setting.
  • MJPEG Frame rate: Same as the stream 1 setting.
  • 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, Stream4 Setting: Same as the Stream 1 settings.

Quality of Service (QoS) provides the means to guarantee a certain level of a specified re-source to selected traffic on a network. Quality can be defined as a maintained level of bandwidth, low latency, and no packet losses.

The main benefits of a QoS-aware network are:

  1. The ability to prioritize traffic and thus allow critical flows to be served before flows with lesser priority.
  2. Greater reliability in the network, due to the control of the amount of bandwidth an application may use, and thus control over bandwidth races between applications.

- DSCP Settings

For each type of network traffic supported by your network video product, enter a DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) value. This value is used to mark the traffics IP header. When the marked traffic reaches a network router or switch, the DSCP value in the IP header tells the router or switch which type of treatment to apply to this type of traffic, for example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it. Note that DSCP values can be entered in decimal or hex form, but saved values are always shown in decimal. The following types of traffic are marked; enter a value for each type of traffic used:

  • Live Stream DSCP
  • Event/Alarm DSCP
  • Management DSCP

• Automatic Traffic Control

Check the box to enable automatic traffic control. Set a limitation on user network resources by designating the maximum bandwidth. Select either the Maximum band-width or Automatic framerate radiobutton.

- Maximum bandwidth: When sharing other network programs or equipment, it is possible to set a limitation on the maximum bandwidth in the unit of Mbit/s.

Zero configuration networking (zeroconf) is a set of techniques that automatically creates a usable Internet Protocol (IP) network without manual operator intervention or special configuration servers.

Zero configuration networking allows devices such as computers and printers to connect ta network automatically. Without zeroconf, a network administrator must set up services, such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS), or configure each computer's network settings manually, which may be difficult and time-consuming.

Zeroconf is built on three core technologies:

  • Assignment of numeric network addresses for networked devices (link-local address auto configuration)
    • Automatic resolution and distribution of computer hostnames (multicast DNS)
    • Automatic location of network services, such as printing devices through DNS service discovery.

A.5 General Performance Considerations

When setting up your system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations will affect performance. Some factors affect the amount of bandwidth (the bit rate) required, others can affect the frame rate, and some affect both. If the load on the CPU reaches its maximum, this will also affect the frame rate.

The following factors are among the most important to consider:

  • High image resolutions and/or lower compression levels (or high bitrates) result in larger images. Frame rate and Bandwidth affected.
  • Accessing both Motion JPEG and H.264 video streams simultaneously. Frame rate and bandwidth affected.
  • Heavy network utilization due to poor infrastructure. Frame rate and Bandwidth affected.
  • Heavy network utilization via wireless router due to poor infrastructure. Frame rate and bandwidth affected.
  • Viewing on poorly performing client PCs lowers perceived performance. Frame rate affected.
