This tab allows to modify the settings of camera streams.
In the Video Streaming settings menu you can change the parameters for each of the available video
streams. The stream to configure is selected using the buttons at the top of the page.
Resolution - the resolution of configured video stream. Each of the video streams available in the
camera can be individually configured. This allows e.g. to set a high-quality stream for archival video
and a second stream in lower quality, to displaying "live" video.
FPS (frames per second) - select the number of frames per second from the available range

Bitrate - parameter has a different function, depending on the option selected in position Bitrate
Control: when the VBR is selected, sets the maximum size of the data stream with a variable bit rates,
while the CBR is selected, sets the specific size of the data stream with a constant bit rates.
Audio - enables or disables audio stream encoding.
I Frame Interval - time interval between key frames. For higher bitrates, key frames interval should be
smaller. Smaller frame interval is recommended to increase position accuracy of return video and
advantageous to the network video. If frame interval become small, the video streaming will become
bigger, but the image quality will become better.

part of the image by setting the red rectangle of an appropriate size (this is done by dragging on the
preview window with the mouse with left button pressed). The next step is to set the sensitivity of
motion (option Sensitivity), and then set camera response to an event of motion detection, by selecting
Send Email, Send to the cloud*, Send to FTP, Deterrent**, Enable Record or Alarm Out. Also an
alarm duration (range 5 - 30 s) and the duration of the alarm recording (Post recording, range from 5 s
to 5 min) can be set.
To change the size or shape of the area of motion detection, again drag the mouse with left button
pressed. This disables motion detection in the "double" selected area. Clear button deleted all
previously set motion detection areas, and All button set whole the image as a area of motion detection.

Event response options may vary depending on the functionality available in your camera
model.
Detection of motion in a set area/areas is indicated by the green letter M. When the events of
motion detection are recorded on the SD card, the letter M is red.
* for the Send to Cloud response to work, you must first configure it, according to the
information in chapter 3.5.4 on page 24
** for the Deterrent response to work, you must first configure it, according to the information
in chapter 3.4.6 on page 21

3.4.4. „Audio events detection” menu
This menu allows to configure options for detecting exceeding the set sound levels.
This function, by using the built-in microphone (or connected to the camera's audio input), allows to
detect sudden changes in the sound level surrounding the camera and trigger an alarm. The function has
two options: "Noise detection", which allows detection of a sudden increase in sound level above the
level set by the "Detection threshold" slider, and "Silence detection" for detecting a level drop below
the level set by the "Detection threshold" slider. The "Sound Intensity" slider allows you to reduce the
impact of ambient noise on the detection efficiency.

3.4.5. „PIR” Menu
This menu allows to configure motion detection options using the built-in PIR detector.
PIR detector - introduction
Passive infrared detectors (PIR) are widely used, in the alarm systems for motion detection. Operation
of the sensor is based on precise measurement of the temperature of objects in a specific area, and each
change of this temperature is interpreted as motion by integrated electronics - and generates an alarm.
PIR detector in the IP camera
The task of the PIR detector in the IP camera is to limit the number of false motion detection alarms.
The PIR detector, working in conjunction with the motion detection function, detects moving objects
with a temperature higher than the ambient temperature. It is only the simultaneous detection of motion
by the PIR detector and the motion detection function that generates an alarm event. In this way, the
PIR sensor significantly reduces the number of false motion detection alarms related to light flashes,
snowfall or day/night switching.
Configuration and management of the PIR detection zones are carried out identically to the motion
detection options (chapter 3.4.1 "Motion" menu)
WWW INTERFACE - WORKING WITH CAMERA
Detection of motion in a set area/areas is indicated by the green letters PIR. When the events of
motion detection are recorded on the SD card, the letters PIR are red.
