2.1.2. Network
The network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled simultaneously, and
at least one version must always be enabled. When using IPv4, the IP address for the network camera can be set
automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the network camera receives
an IP address accordingto theconfigurationin the network router. There is also anoption of using theInternet Dynamic
DNS Service. For more information on setting the network, please see “System > Network > Basic”.
Obtain IP address via DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that lets network
administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by
default. Although a DHCP server is mostly used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a
static, known IP address for a particular MAC address.
Use the following IP address: To use a static IP address for the network camera, check the radio button and then
make the following settings:
•IP address: Specify a unique IP address for your network camera.
•Subnet mask: Specify the mask for the subnet the network camera is located on.
•Default router: Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for connecting devices attached
to different networks and network segments.
NOTES: DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if your DHCP server can update a
DNS server, which then allows you to access the network camera by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you
cannot access the unit, you may have to reset it to the factory default settings and then perform the installation
again.
The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabledtwo minutes after the unit is started, or as soon as an IP address is
set. Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled. Please refer to “System > Network > Basic” for
more details about Network setup.

Please refer to “System > Date & Time” for more details about Date & Time setup.

16
2.2. Video & Image
2.2.1. Basic
Sensor Setting:
•Capture mode: User can select sensor capture mode between 30 fps and 60 fps in full-HD resolution. If 60fps
is selected, Stream 3 is disabled and hidden from the window. In other words, the camera provides triple
stream at 30 fps and dual stream at 60 fps.
•Stream 1 Setting:
Codec: The codec supported in Stream 1 is H.264 and H.265. There are 3 pre-programmed stream profiles
available for quick set-up. Choose the form of video encoding you wish to use from the drop-down list:
- H.264 HP (High Profile): Primary profile for broadcast and disc storage applications, particularly for
high-definition television applications (for example, this is the profile adopted by the Blu-ray Disc
storage format and the DVB HDTV broadcast service).
- H.264/H265 MP (Main Profile): Primary profile for low-cost applications that require additional error
robustness, this profile is used rarely in videoconferencing and mobile applications; it does add
additional error resilience tools to the Constrained Baseline Profile. The importance of this profile is
fading after the Constrained Baseline Profile has been defined.
- H.264 BP (Baseline Profile): Originally intended as the mainstream consumer profile for broadcast
and storage applications, the importance of this profile faded when the High Profile was developed
for those applications.
•Resolution: This enables users to determine a basic screen size when having an access through the Web
Browser or PC program. The screen size control comes in seven modes like 1920x1080, 1280x1024,
1280x960, 1280x720, 1024x768, 704x576, 704x480, 640x480, 640x360 and 320x240. Users can change the
selected screen size anytime while monitoring the screen on a real-time basis.
•Bitrate control: The bit rate can be set as Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constrained Variable Bit Rate (CVBR).

17
VBR adjusts the bit rate according to the image complexity, using up bandwidth for increased activity in the
image, and less for lower activity in the monitored area. Limiting the maximum bit rate helps control the
bandwidth used by the H.264 video stream. Leaving the Maximum bit rate as unlimited maintains consistently
good image quality but increases bandwidth usage when there is more activity in the image. Limiting the bit
rate to a defined value prevents excessive bandwidth usage, but images are degraded when the limit is
exceeded.
- VBR:unlimited maximum bitrate.
- CVBR:VBR with maximum bitrate which is set in Bitrate.
•Bitrate:Maximum bitrate for CVBR in the range of 100kbps ~ 8Mbps. This is disabled if Bitrate control is set
to VBR.
•Frame rate: Upon the real-time play, users should select a frame refresh rate per second. If the rate is high,
the image will become smooth. On the other hand, if the rate is low, the image will not be natural but it can
reduce a network load.
•GOP size: Select the GOP (Group of Picture) size. If users want to have a high quality of fast image one by
one, please decrease the value. For the purpose of generalmonitoring, please do not change a basic value.
Such act may cause a problem to the system performance. For the details of GOP setting, please contact the
service center.
Stream 2 Setting:
•Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the frame rate and quality
helps to control the bandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG video stream in these situations.
Limiting the frame rate and quality optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality.
To prevent increased bandwidth and storage usage, the Resolution, Frame rate, and Frame Quality should
be set to an optimal value.
- MJPEG Resolution: Same as the stream 1 settings.
- MJPEG Frame rate: Same as the stream 1 settings.
- MJPEG Quality:Select the picture quality. If users want to have a high quality of fast image one by
one, please decrease the value. For the purpose of generalmonitoring, please do not change a
basic value. Such act may cause a problem to the system performance.
Stream 3 and Stream 4 Setting:
•Same as the Stream 1 Setting.
Important: When the settings are complete, click Save button to save the settings, or click Reset button to clear all
of the information you entered without saving it.
