Page 34: Scheduler
MicroStreamer-PoE Interval The interval option is helpful to reduce the number of FTP image uploads if lots of alarm/ events are triggered within a short time. The less the Duration (sec.) between two FTP image uploads is set, the more the network utilization rate (traffic level, bandwidth con- sumption) may increase. - Page 35 MicroStreamer-PoE Fig. 9-7 Dark gray areas in the week timer represent inactive periods. During inactive periods the messaging function is disabled. In the example shown (Fig. 9-7) the period on Monday from 02:00 to 07:15 am is inactive. During this period no messages are sent out.

Page 41: Video Streaming
The video streaming function provides the streaming of audio and video data to the net- work without requesting the data actively with a RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) or DaVid Protocol capable client (e.g. Dallmeier recorder or PView). Note that the format of the RTP payload to be transported must correspond with the encod- ing method. -
Page 42: Transfer Method
MicroStreamer-PoE MPEG The audio and video data is packetized for a MPEG-2 Program Stream. The data must be encoded in MPEG2 format. RTP/MPV The video data is packetized for a MPEG-2 Video Stream by the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP). Audio data is not transferred. -
Page 43: Ttl
MicroStreamer-PoE A member of the group only receives the data packets if it is aware of the multicast IP address and the appropriate application service is available with the specified port number. IP multicast uses the address range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 (Class D). -

MicroStreamer-PoE Note the explanations below. Adjust all necessary settings. Confirm with OK. Check the image in the live video frame in the bottom left of the configuration user inter- face (if active). If necessary, readjust the settings and confirm with OK again. - Page 47 MicroStreamer-PoE Select the Bitrate mode. Select the GOP-size (only with MPEG). If required, activate the B-Frames checkbox (only possible at a GOP-size > 6). Frames/Second The frame rate (value in fps) defines the number of consecutive frames produced per se- cond.
-
Page 48: Encoder 2
MicroStreamer-PoE Reverse playback has limited quality (frame drops) with extended GOPs (> 15). Deinterlacing The aim of this function is to enhance the image quality by computationally eliminating the so-called interlace effect, which may occur after merging two fields into a frame, from the frame. -
Page 49: Audio
MicroStreamer-PoE 10.4 Audio The audio bit rate setting allows you not only to control the audio quality, but also the amount of required hard disk space to a certain extent. The higher the audio bit rate, the better the audio quality. A higher bit rate, however, requires more hard disk space than a lower bit rate. -

Page 52: Active Areas
MicroStreamer-PoE This setting allows reducing the number of events triggered by the repeated motion of the same object. Example: Every object is a new event Very large number of events Sensitivity This function checks the extent to which an old (still valid) object and a new object overlap. - Page 53 MicroStreamer-PoE To define inactive (green) areas, proceed as follows: Click the Eraser button. Move the mouse pointer over the image area, click and hold the left mouse button and draw a rectangle over the relevant area. Release the mouse button.
