1) Video Settings
720p120
Allows camera to output 720p at 120fps via the IP Streaming output only. Set to ‘On’ or ‘Off’. (Note: Setting
to ‘On’ will override and lockout other video settings).
Video format
Supports 50HZ(PAL) and 60HZ(NTSC) and Dial Priority (see rotary dial on camera) formats.
60Hz is used for North America.
Video Coding
You must select both Encode Protocol and Encode Level for H.264. Camera streaming supports either H.264 -
with choice of “baseline”, “mainprofile” and “highprofile” formats or H.265 video encoding (Note H.265 will
override and lockout some other video settings).
2) First Stream
Resolution
Set the desired video stream resolution. The first stream allows 1920x1080 (1080p), 1280x720 (720p) or
1024x576. The second stream allows 720x576 or 320x240. Higher resolutions will consume more bandwidth.
Bit Rate
Users can assign the bit rate of the stream (from 32 – 8192 kbps for 1
st
stream and 32-6144 kbps for 2
nd
stream). Higher bit rates will provide for a higher quality image, if your network bandwidth is sufficient to
support the rate.
Maximum frame rate:
Users can specify the maximum frame rate (fps or frames per second). Higher frame rates provide smoother
video but require higher bit rate settings.
I key frame interval:
Affects the quality of the video compression. This setting defines how many predicted frames will be used for
each actual frame (from 2-150). Shorter intervals increase video quality at the cost of requiring higher bit
rates in order to look good.
Bit Rate Control method:
Constant bit rate: video encoder will encode at a constant rate as set in bitrate setting
Variable bit rate: video encoder will encode at a variable rate with maximum as set in bit rate setting, allowing
for low motion scenes to use less bandwidth.
Fluctuate level
This setting affects how aggressive variable bit rate adjustments will be (1-6). Spikes that are too large may
affect video quality. Low levels will not save on as much bandwidth.
3) Second Stream (See parameters above for first stream).
