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 oers the best resoluon and frame rate the device can do. But high resoluon and frame rate usually means larger storage space and higher bandwidth requirements in transmission.

Sub Stream

The stream usually oers comparatively low resolution opons, which consumes less bandwidth and storage space.

Other Streams

Steams other than the main stream and sub stream may also be oered 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 funcon is only supported by certain camera models.

• Aer restoring the device (not restore to default sengs), quantity 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 leers and symbols (except &, <, >, ', or " ) are allowed for the stream name.

1. Customize the stream parameters (resoluon, frame rate, max. bitrate, video encoding).
2. Oponal: Add stream descripon as needed.
3. Oponal: 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 Resoluon

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

4.1.4 Bitrate Type and Max. Bitrate

Constant Bitrate

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

Variable Bitrate

It means that the device automacally 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 congorable. 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.

iNote

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 rao 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 esmate the HDD consumpon 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 congorable. 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 sasfactory. Max. average bitrate should not be higher than max. bitrate.

iNote

When H.264+ is enabled, Video Quality, I Frame Interval, Prole and SVC are not congorable.

H.265

H.265, also known as High Eciency Video Coding (HEVC) and MPEG-H Part 2, is a compression standard. In comparison to H.264, it oers beer video compression at the same resolution, 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 esmate the HDD consumpon 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 congorable. 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 sasfactory. Max. average bitrate should not be higher than max. bitrate.

iNote

When H.265+ is enabled, Video Quality, I Frame Interval, Prole and SVC are not congorable.

I-Frame Interval

I-frame interval denes 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 objecve of the SVC standardizaon 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 reconstrucon quality similar to that achieved using the exisng H.264 or H.265 design with the same quantity of data as in the subset bitstream. The subset bitstream is derived by dropping packets from the larger bitstream.

SVC enables forward compatibility for older hardware: the same bitstream can be consumed by basic hardware which can only decode a low-resolution subset, while more advanced hardware will be able to 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

Moon 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.

Prole

This funcon means that under the same bitrate, the more complex the prole 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 beer uency

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

4.2 ROI

ROI (Region of Interest) encoding helps to discriminate the ROI and background informaon 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 informaon is less focused.
