SETUP > Audio and Video
This Audio and Video option allows you to set up your IP camera's video quality, resolution, and frame rate.
Video Sensor
Sensor Output: You can set the camera's sensor output to VGA quality (640x480), XGA
quality (1024x768), or SXGA quality (1280x1024).
Note: When using SXGA mode, please note that motion detection and motion triggered
snapshots will be disabled and that recordings will be done at a maximum of Medium resolution.
Video Profile
You can set up 4 different video profiles, which allow you customize how you view your
camera's video stream.
Encode Type: This sets the video codec used for the video stream. You can choose MPEG-4
or MJPEG(JPEG). IE browsers can view both MPEG-4 and MJPEG video streams, and
non-IE browsers can only view MJPEG video streams.
Resolution: This sets the display resolution of the video stream. If the Resolution is different
than the Sensor Output size, the video will be shrunk or enlarged to the Resolution size you
set here.
FPS: This sets the target number of frames per second (FPS) for the video stream. Higher
framerates will provide smoother video.
bps: This sets the target bitrate of the video stream. Higher bitrates will provide better quality
video. When the Encode Type is set to MJPEG, you cannot change the bps setting. Also,
available bps settings may change depending on what the Encode Type, Sensor Output,
Resolution, and FPS settings are set to.
JPEG Quality: This sets the JPEG quality of any manual snapshots you take when this video
profile is selected.
RTSP URL: This setting allows you to set a suffix for your camera's RTSP URL, so you can
view your camera's video with this video profile's settings. For example, if you enter "mpeg4"
as your RTSP URL setting and your camera's IP is 192.160.0.30, you can view your camera's
video with these settings through 192.160.0.20/mpeg4 .
Note: Video Profile 3 is always set to MJPEG as the Encode Type to ensure that at least one of
the Video Profiles are viewable by non-IE browsers. Video Profile 4 is for mobile devices only,
and always uses MPEG-4 as the Encode Type.
