Video Setting Video Stream This tab provides detailed stream configurations. These settings can affect video size, quality. The maximum transmission performance can be expected under the condition of full network bandwidth. The camera supports up to 3 video streams. Each stream can be configured with following items. Video Format: H.264, MPEG4 and MJPEG are available for the selection.
Page 18
Frame Rate: configure the maximum frame rate in video streaming. Higher frame rate gives a better video in terms of smoothly moving objects/scenes. However, this would result in higher bandwidth and storage requirement. Intra Frame Period: is applied only in MPEG4 / H.264 which the video stream is composed of I- frames (full image information) and P-frames (motion-compensated difference information).

Join Video This function allows user to add other video sources. All added videos can be displayed concurrently on the live view page. Press “Add New” button to extend the panel for connection info. Input the IP address of the camera, the user name / password if it is authenticated, and then choose the video stream from this camera.
Network Configuration The IP Camera acts as one of the network devices. It allows “IP address” to be assigned, so certain network functionalities can be implementable within this device. This section describes these configurations. Fundamentally, for instance, the IP assignment of the device can be done via DHCP server, static IP option or PPPoE to obtain IP from the service provider.
Page 21
Network Connectivity This page provides the connectivity configuration, so that IP camera can be accessed without necessarily providing the numerical IP address. Enable UPnP Service: with UPnP enabled, IP camera device can be easily discovered in Windows Network (My Network Places). See “Discover devices in Windows Network” in previous section. Enable DDNS Service: By registering this sort of service, camera can be assigned and accessed over Internet with a hostname instead of IP address.
Page 22
Access IP Filter This setting also provides a basic security by filtering the accesses from other hosts. Enable this function and choose “Allow / Deny” of the listed IP addresses. Up to 15 IP address can be added in the list.
Event management Event management describes the handling of events with the corresponding actions. A common case can be exampled is storing a captured image to a local storage (Actions), when there is a Motion Event (Trigger Condition). This chapter gives the configurations of Triggers (what to detect?) and Actions (“what to send” and “where to send”).
