2) Network The network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled. When using IPv4, the IP address for the video encoder can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually.
3) Video & Image • Stream1 Setting: - Codec: The codec settings are separated into MPEG-4 and H.264. H.264 is also known as MPEG-4 Part 10. This is the new generation compression standard for digital video. This function offers higher video resolution than Motion JPEG or MPEG-4 at the same bit rate and bandwidth, or the same quality video at a lower bit rate.
Page 43
- Bitrate control: Limiting the maximum bit rate helps control the bandwidth used by the H.264 or MPEG-4 video stream. Leaving the Maximum bit rate as unlimited maintains consistently good image quality but increases bandwidth usage when there is more activity in the image.
4) Audio The network camera can transmit audio to other clients using an external microphone and can play audio received from other clients by attaching a speaker. The Setup page has an additional menu item called Audio, which allows different audio configurations, such as full duplex, and simplex.
- Output volume: If the sound from the speaker is too low or high it is possible to adjust the output gain for the active speaker attached to the network camera. When satisfied with the settings, click Save, or click Reset to revert to previously saved settings.
4.5.2 Video & Image 1) Basic Refer to “4.5.1 Basic Configuration > 3) Video & Image” for more details. 2) Image This page provides access to the advanced image settings for the network camera. - Brightness: The image brightness can be adjusted in the range 1-10, where a higher value produces a brighter image.
- Contrast: Adjust the image's contrast by raising or lowering the value in this field. - Saturation: Select an appropriate level by entering a value in the range 1-10. Lower values mean less color saturation. - Sharpness: Controls the amount of sharpening applied to the image. A sharper image might increase image noise especially in low light conditions.
