Camera Configuration Menu
Video
The dome allows the configuration of two independent video streams, Stream 1 and Stream 2.
These streams can be configured via the Web GUI, as detailed here or via the Illustra API or
Network Video Recorder.
Web GUI Video
Video displayed on the live web video pane will use the settings configured in Stream 1.
Alarm Video
It is possible to use either Stream 1 or Stream 2 for the on-board recording of alarm video.
Integration with American Dynamics Network Video Recorders
Stream 1 and Stream 2 can be configured via the Web GUI, as detailed here or via the Network
Video Recorder interface. Changes made to the streams via either method will be applied and the
video will be displayed according to the configuration.
Opening the Web GUI live view while the Network Video Recorder is recording video will allow the
stream to be shared and will minimise the impact on camera resources.
Integration with other Illustra API Clients
Stream 1 and Stream 2 can be configured via the Web GUI, as detailed here or via the Illustra API
interface. Changes made to the streams via either method will be applied and the video will be
displayed according to the configuration.
Opening the Web GUI live video will allow the stream to be shared with the Illustra API and will
minimise the impact on camera resources.
MJPEG Usage Consideration
MJPEG has a higher bandwidth requirement than H264, the following provides a recommendation
for quality settings when using MJPEG:
• Maximum possible Quality setting: 100
• Recommended Maximum setting: 90
• Recommended High Quality setting: 75
• Recommended Medium Quality setting: 55
For high resolution we recommend the following reduced limits:
