A/V Streams Menu
The A/V Streams menu contains settings for your camera’s video and audio streams.
Selecting Preset Video Configurations
The Video Presets page contains fully-configured video configurations for both your primary and secondary video streams, offering a
balance between video performance and bandwidth. These presets can also be used as a starting point for a custom video configuration.
1. Select Video Presets from A/V Streams menu.
2. Select your desired video preset stream configuration.
3. Click Save.
Configuring Custom Video Streams
The Video Configuration page contains settings for customizing your camera’s primary and secondary video streams. Although each
stream can be configured independently, the settings for one stream can limit the options available to the other stream, depending on
the processing demands of your stream settings.
The compression standard, resolution, image rate, bit rate, and I-frame interval settings are dependent on each other. You must first
decide the setting you want to take priority before you configure a stream. For example, if you want an image rate of 30 ips, set the
image rate before you configure the other settings.
By default, all fields on the Video Configuration page are populated with settings from your Video Presets. You can clear all fields, or
use the default settings as a starting point for your custom stream. Configure the primary stream before the secondary stream. The
primary stream should be the most resource-intensive video stream.
1. Select Video Configuration from the A/V Streams menu.
2. Select the aspect ratio (e.g. 16:9 or 4:3) and the maximum frame rate (e.g. 60 fps, 50 fps, 30 fps, or 25 fps). These settings affect
both the primary and secondary stream configurations.
3. (Optional) Provide a user-friendly name for your custom stream in the Name box (2 to 64 characters).
4. Set the Compression Standard, Resolution, Image Rate, Bit Rate, and I-frame Interval settings for the primary stream.
5. Configure QoS (DSCP) Codepoint, Endura Signing, Profile, and GOP Structure.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for the Secondary stream.
7. Click Save.
Video Configuration Settings
Compression Standards: Available compression standards depend upon the model of the camera that you are using.
MJPEG: Has the same characteristics as JPEG but differs in its mode of transfer (RTP).
H.264: The most processor-intensive compression standard but requires the least amount of bandwidth.
Image Rate: The number of images per second (ips) available for the video stream configuration. Available image rates depend upon
the model of the camera that you are using.
NOTE: The maximum image rate setting might not be obtainable due to the compression standard and the resolution of the stream.
Bit Rate: The quality of the video stream, rendered in kilobits per second. Higher values result in greater video quality but consume more
bandwidth.
