3.1.10 Video Stream Parameter
Select “Stream” label at the right of the video display area to set up the parameters like video definition rate, and
the size of stream, etc. Users can select the video stream type built in the system as well as select the combination
of multi-bit stream types. The default stream 0 is the main stream and the stream 1 is the slave stream. The stream
2 can be CVBS analog output or HDMI HD digital output.
Stream types: The video coding types built-in the system include dual-stream, triple-stream, dual-stream+CVBS
analog output, and dual-stream HDMI HD digital output, etc. If it is required to be tested via CVBS(That is, BNC
interface), please select the video code type with CVBS output. For different video camera models, the highest
definition combination supported by main stream is different. Please refer to Appendix D.
Frame rate: There are many types of frame rate. Full frame rate represents the real-time level with the highest
of 25 frames (PAL mode) or 30 frames (NTSC mode), and the 1/10 level with the lowest of 2 frames (PAL mode)
or 3 frames (NTSC mode).
Coding types: There are two options: video stream and composite stream. The video stream contains no audio.
However, the composite stream includes video and audio.
Bit rate mode: It includes two types: fixed bit rate and limited bit rate. Users can select the size of the bit rate,
and also can self-define the upper bound of the bit rate.
Image quality: It sets up 6 grades from normal to the best. Normally if the image quality is prior without

considering the bandwidth occupation, it can set up to be the best; if the image quality and the bandwidth (bit
rate) are both under consideration, it can set up to be better or even better.
Bit rate upper bound: 32Kbps~2048Kbps. User can self-define the higher bit rate.
Custom bit rate: When the bit rate type is limited bit rate, users can self-define the upper bound of the bit
rate. For Full HD (1920x1080P), the bit rate is recommended to be 4~6Mbps (4096~6144Kbps); for HD (1280x720)
to be 2~4Mbps (2048~4096Kbps); and for Full D1(720x576) or 960H(960x576) to be 1~3Mbps(1024~3072Kbps).
The highest bit rate can be 8Mbps. The set bit rate cannot exceed the highest upper bound of the bit rate under
each individual definition.
3.1.11 OSD
Select “OSD” label at the right to overlap the information of videos, like channel name, week, and time etc.
Note:
1) Compression format: The main stream is default to use H.264 compression format. The
slave stream can select H.264 and MJPEG. When the slave stream is H.264 compression
format, the highest definition supported is Full D1(720x576); when the slave stream is in
MJPEG compression format, the highest definition supported is HD(1280x720). The slave
stream in MJPEG compression format is commonly used for the camera to capture images
with higher definition.
2) It is required to save parameters in “Detailed settings -> System parameters -> Advanced
settings” and restart settings after the video stream type is modified.
3) Three mega-pixel and five mega-pixel cameras only have Stream 0 when it is in its highest
definition. Application

3.1.12 Motion Detection
Select “VMD” label on the right for users to start the camera’s video motion detection. If the camera is installed
at the places like corridor, door or windows, the image pictures are normally static relatively. Once the camera
detects any object in movement in the video, it shall start recording or generate alarm linkage or output.
The video area on the left is the video motion detection area. Users can use their mouse to draw up at most five
areas in the video area to be the targeted motion detection areas. When detecting any element in motion in the
video, the corresponding associated alarm linkage shall be triggered. If it is required to redraw the areas for
detection, users can click “Clear areas” button on the right.
On the right are the settings for the motion detection for defending and the alarm linkage.
Motion threshold: The default value is 1 (The range of the value is 0 - 100). The motion threshold value is for
measuring the ratio of objects in motion in the selected areas. Smaller the value is, smaller the ratio of objects
in motion is.
Sensitivity: The default value is 3 (The range of the value is 0-5). The sensitivity is used for evaluating the level
of sensitivity of motion detection. Larger the value is, higher the sensitivity is. Even small motions can be detected.
Note:
A very low sensitivity may cause failure to report (No alarm when there is any object in
motion in the video). A very high sensitivity may cause false alarms (Any subtle motion like
leaf or mice may trigger alarm.) The motion threshold and sensitivity need to be adjusted
in an actual application according to user environment. If the values cannot be ensured,
please keep the default values or increase the sensitivity.
