Configuring Data Streams

The IP AutoDome encodes dual data streams simultaneously according to two individually cus-
tomized profiles. This feature creates two (2) data streams per camera that can serve differ-
ent purposes. For example, one (1) data stream for local recording and one (1) data stream
optimized for transmission over the Local Area Network (LAN). In addition, the camera offers
a Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) option. M-JPEG is a video format that uses JPEG picture compres-
sion in each frame of the video.
Click either the MPEG-4 Stream 1, MPEG-4 Stream 2 or M-JPEG tab to switch between the
different displays for the camera image.
