Foreword
Thank you for using our IP camera products. This series of products are all-in-one IP
cameras designed for network video surveillance, including box IP camera, infrared box IP
camera, dome IP camera, speed dome IP camera, etc. The products adopt high performance
and powerful single SOC chip media processor to integrate audio and video capture,
compression and transmission. Standard H.264 Baseline and Main Profile coding algorithm
ensures clearer and smoother video transmission effect. Built-in Web Server allows users to
easily perform real-time monitoring and remote control over front-end cameras via IE browser.
This series of IP cameras is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, families,
and other environments that require remote network video transmission and monitoring. It is
easy to install and operate.

[Quality]:You can choose the right quality according to your need: Fine, Normal,
Basic,and the parameters can also be user-defined by choosing [advanced].
[Rate control]: CBR and VBR are optional. CBR adopts constant encoding bitrate, VBR
adopts variable encoding bitrate.
[Quality]: Under CBR setting: set the bitrate range via “Image Quality”, you can choose
self-adaption,it means the bitrate controlled by the software, and also can choose
±10%～±50%, ±10% means the bitrate range from -10% to +10% of the value of bitrate.
