For example, video products are capable of recording real, complete and clear images. This provides a high value in retrospect and preserving real- me facts. However, it may also result in the infringement of a third party's legi mate rights and interests if improper distribu on, use and/or processing of video data takes place. With the philosophy of "Technology for the Good", Hikvision requests that every end user of video technology and video products shall comply with all the applicable laws and regula ons, as well as ethical customs, aiming to jointly create a be er community.

- During the use of video products, video image data derived from real scenes will con nue to be generated, including a large amount of biological data (such as facial images), and the data could be further applied or reprocessed. Video products themselves could not dis nguish good from bad regarding how to use the data based solely on the images captured by the video products. The result of data usage depends on the method and purpose of use of the data controllers. Therefore, data controllers shall not only comply with all the applicable laws and regula ons and other norma ve requirements, but also respect interna onal norms, social morality, good morals, common prac ces and other non-mandatory requirements, and respect individual privacy, portrait and other rights and interests.

- The rights, values and other demands of various stakeholders should always be considered when processing video data that is con nuously generated by video products. In this regard, product security and data security are extremely crucial. Therefore, every end user and data controller, shall undertake all reasonable and necessary measures to ensure data security and avoid data leakage, improper disclosure and improper use, including but not limited to, se ng up access control, selec ng a suitable network environment (the Internet or Intranet) where video products are connected, establishing and constantly op mizing network security.

- Video products have made great contributions to the improvement of social security around the world, and we believe that these products will also play an ac ve role in more aspects of social life. Any abuse of video products in viola on of human rights or leading to criminal ac vi es are contrary to the original intent of technological innova on and product development. Therefore, each user shall establish an evalua on and tracking mechanism of their product applica on to ensure that every product is used in a proper and reasonable manner and with good faith.

Chapter 4 Video and Audio

This part introduces the con gura on of video and audio related parameters.

4.1 Video Se ngs

This part introduces the segments of video parameters, such as, stream type, video encoding, and resolution.

Go to se ng page: Con gura on → Video/Audio → Video.

4.1.1 Stream Type

For device supports more than one stream, you can specify parameters for each stream type.

Main Stream

The stream stands for the best stream performance the device supports. It usually o ers the best resolu on and frame rate the device can do. But high resolu on and frame rate usually means larger storage space and higher bandwidth requirements in transmission.

Sub Stream

The stream usually o ers compara vely low resolu on op ons, which consumes less bandwidth and storage space.

Other Streams

Steams other than the main stream and sub stream may also be o ered for customized usage.

Set Custom Video

You can set up additional video streams if required. For custom video streams, you can preview them, but cannot record or play back them.

Steps

iNote

• The func on is only supported by certain camera models.

• A er restoring the device (not restore to default se ngs), quan ty of custom video streams and their names are kept, but the related parameters are restored.

• Click to add a stream.

• Change the stream name as needed.

iNote

Up to 32 le ers and symbols (except &, <, >, ', or '') are allowed for the stream name.

1. Customize the stream parameters (resolu on, frame rate, max. bitrate, video encoding).
2. Op onal: Add stream descrip on as needed.
3. Op onal: If a custom stream is not needed, click to delete it.
4. Click Save.

4.1.2 Video Type

Select the content (video and audio) that should be contained in the stream.

Video

Only video content is contained in the stream.

Video & Audio

Video content and audio content are contained in the composite stream.

4.1.3 Resolu on

Select video resolu on according to actual needs. Higher resolu on requires higher bandwidth and storage.

4.1.4 Bitrate Type and Max. Bitrate

Constant Bitrate

It means that the stream is compressed and transmi ed at a compara vely xed bitrate. The compression speed is fast, but mosaic may occur on the image.

Variable Bitrate

It means that the device automa cally adjust the bitrate under the set Max. Bitrate. The compression speed is slower than that of the constant bitrate. But it guarantees the image quality of complex scenes.

4.1.5 Video Quality

When Bitrate Type is set as Variable, video quality is con gurable. Select a video quality according to actual needs. Note that higher video quality requires higher bandwidth.

4.1.6 Frame Rate

The frame rate is to describe the frequency at which the video stream is updated and it is

measured by frames per second (fps).

A higher frame rate is advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image quality throughout. Note that higher frame rate requires higher bandwidth and larger storage space.

4.1.7 Video Encoding

It stands for the compression standard the device adopts for video encoding.

Available compression standards vary according to device models.

H.264

H.264, also known as MPEG-4 Part 10, Advanced Video Coding, is a compression standard.

Without compressing image quality, it increases compression ra o and reduces the size of video le than MJPEG or MPEG-4 Part 2.

H.264+

H.264+ is an improved compression coding technology based on H.264. By enabling H.264+, you can es mate the HDD consump on by its maximum average bitrate. Compared to H.264, H.264+ reduces storage by up to 50% with the same maximum bitrate in most scenes.

When H.264+ is enabled, Max. Average Bitrate is con gurable. The device gives a recommended max. average bitrate by default. You can adjust the parameter to a higher value if the video quality is less sa sfactory. Max. average bitrate should not be higher than max. bitrate.

When H.264+ is enabled, Video Quality, I Frame Interval, Pro le and SVC are not con gurable.

H.265

H.265, also known as High E ciency Video Coding (HEVC) and MPEG-H Part 2, is a compression standard. In comparison to H.264, it o ers be er video compression at the same resolu on, frame rate and image quality.

H.265+

H.265+ is an improved compression coding technology based on H.265. By enabling H.265+, you can es mate the HDD consump on by its maximum average bitrate. Compared to H.265, H.265+ reduces storage by up to 50% with the same maximum bitrate in most scenes.

When H.265+ is enabled, Max. Average Bitrate is con gurable. The device gives a recommended max. average bitrate by default. You can adjust the parameter to a higher value if the video quality

is less sa sfactory. Max. average bitrate should not be higher than max. bitrate.

iNote

When H.265+ is enabled, Video Quality, I Frame Interval, Pro le and SVC are not con gurable.

I-Frame Interval

I-frame interval de nes the number of frames between 2 I-frames.

In H.264 and H.265, an I-frame, or intra frame, is a self-contained frame that can be independently decoded without any reference to other images. An I-frame consumes more bits than other frames. Thus, video with more I-frames, in other words, smaller I-frame interval, generates more steady and reliable data bits while requiring more storage space.

SVC

Scalable Video Coding (SVC) is the name for the Annex G extension of the H.264 or H.265 video compression standard.

The objec ve of the SVC standardiza on has been to enable the encoding of a high-quality video bitstream that contains one or more subset bitstreams that can themselves be decoded with a complexity and reconstruct on quality similar to that achieved using the exis ng H.264 or H.265 design with the same quan ty of data as in the subset bitstream. The subset bitstream is derived by dropping packets from the larger bitstream.

SVC enables forward compa bility for older hardware: the same bitstream can be consumed by basic hardware which can only decode a low-resolu on subset, while more advanced hardware will be able decode high quality video stream.

MPEG4

MPEG4, referring to MPEG-4 Part 2, is a video compression format developed by Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG).

MJPEG

Mo on JPEG (M-JPEG or MJPEG) is a video compression format in which intraframe coding technology is used. Images in a MJPEG format is compressed as individual JPEG images.

Pro le

This func on means that under the same bitrate, the more complex the pro le is, the higher the quality of the image is, and the requirement for network bandwidth is also higher.

4.1.8 Smoothing

It refers to the smoothness of the stream. The higher value of the smoothing is, the be er uency

of the stream will be, though, the video quality may not be so sa factory. The lower value of the smoothing is, the higher quality of the stream will be, though it may appear not uent.

4.2 ROI

ROI (Region of Interest) encoding helps to discriminate the ROI and background informa on in video compression. The technology assigns more encoding resource to the region of interest, thus to increase the quality of the ROI whereas the background informa on is less focused.

4.2.1 Set ROI
