Video Settings
Preferred Video Codec
– The P2DV supports the H.264 video codec.
Resolution
– The higher the resolution is, the better the video quality is, and higher
band idth is required.
Bit Rate
– The number of bits that are conveyed or processed per unit of time.
Maximum Frame Rate
– The video frame rate is adjustable based on net ork conditions.
Increasing the frame rate ill increase the amount of data significantly
therefore consuming more band idth. Video ill be impaired due to packet
loss hen there is insufficient band idth.
Bit Rate Control
– Variable Bit rate (VBR) and Constant Bit Rate (CBR).
Variable Bit Rate - If VBR is selected, the codec varies the amount of output
data per time segment. VBR produces a better quality-to-space ratio. The
bits available are used to enable more flexibly and encode sound or video
data more accurately, ith fe er bits used in less demanding passages and
more bits used in difficult-to-encode passages.
Constant Bit Rate - If CBR is selected, the codec’s output data is constant
regardless of the input data. The output bit rate is defined in “Bit rate”. CBR
is useful for streaming multimedia content on limited capacity channels. It is
easier to calculate required band idth as ell as the required storage space
using CBR.
Image Quality
If ‘Bit Rate Control’ is set to “VBR”, “Image quality” needs to be configured.
The better the video quality is, the higher the bit rate ill be.
I-frame Interval – While streaming video over a network, compression technologies are
used to show the incremental difference between each frame. I-frames
are used to help keep the video looking normal. When intervals are

NOTE: The users might need to configure the Primary Stream and Secondary Stream properly.
Sometimes, the user might like to atch the live video stream from the eb GUI in lo resolution mode
hile recording a copy via “Surveillance System” soft are in high resolution due to the limitation of
internet band idth. In this case, for example, primary stream can be configured to have better
resolution, and then the users can use primary stream to record hile atching secondary video
streams.
Audio Settings
Preferred Audio Codec – The P2DV supports up to 3 different Vocoder types, a-la
(PCMA), u-la (PCMU) and G.726. The audio can also be turned off by s itching the setting
to “Disabled”
Po er Frequency - this setting should match the po er frequency used in the country to avoid flickering

Networking Page – Assign an IP to P2DV
P2DV supports IP version 4. The IP address can set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be
set manually. To make P2DV ork properly, the user needs to set the DNS configuration properly. For
security purposes, the user can also assign the P2DV an HTTP Port other than 80
IP Address Configuration
The P2DV operates in t o modes:
Dynamically Assigned via DHCP – all the field values for the Static IP mode are not used. The P2DV
acquires its IP address from the first DHCP server it discovers on its LAN.
Statically Configured as – configures all of the follo ing fields: IP address, Subnet Mask, Default
Gate ay IP address, DNS Server 1 (primary), DNS Server 2 (secondary). These fields are set to zero by
default. Static IP addresses are recommended for the P2DV
DNS Configuration
There are t o methods of DNS configuration on the P2DV:
1. The P2DV can obtain the DNS server automatically
2. Users can configure their o n preferred DNS server

HTTP Port
The P2DV supports user configured http ports. If the HTTP port is changed, the port number is needed to
access the eb GUI, for instance: http://192.168.1.168:8080.
NOTE: If the HTTP Port is 80, hen you add this device to Surveillance Soft are, the RTSP port is 554. If
the HTTP Port is changed, hen you add this device to Surveillance Soft are, please make sure the RTSP
port number equals HTTP Port plus 2000.
DDNS Page
Dynamic DNS provides devices that have a variable, often changing IP address ith a ell kno n
hostname resolvable by net ork applications through standard DNS queries.
