Type
General & Event are available only for Primary Stream.
General refers to continuous record video, while Event
includes events that can trigger alarms, such as Motion,
Exception, and so on.
This item can separately set different bit rate and frame rate
for different Recording Stream Types. If user chooses Event,
video will be recorded according to the configuration of video
stream type when an event happens, thereby greatly reducing
the recording storage space.
Enable Event
Stream
This item is optional only if you selected the Event.
Video Codec
H.265/H.264/MJPEG are available.
Frame Size
Primary Stream includes 3840 x 2160, 3456 x 1936, 3200 x

8.2.2 Advanced
8.2.2.1 VLAN
A virtual LAN (VLAN) is any broadcast domain that is partitioned and isolated in a
computer network at the data link layer (OSI layer 2). LAN is an abbreviation of local area
network. VLANs allow network administrators to group hosts together even if the hosts
are not on the same network switch. This can greatly simplify network design and
deployment, because VLAN membership can be configured through software. Without
VLANs, grouping hosts according to their resource needs necessitates the labor of
relocating nodes or rewiring data links.
Note: About how to set up VLAN in switches, please refers to your switches user manual.
53
8.2.2.2 PPPoE
This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function. The camera gets a public IP
address by ADSL dial-up after the camera is connected to a modem. You need to configure
the PPPoE parameters of the network camera.
Note:
• The obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE, so the IP address always
changes after rebooting the camera. To solve the inconvenience of the dynamic IP, you
need to get a domain name from the DDNS provider.
• The user name and password should be assigned by your ISP.
8.2.2.3 SNMP
You can set the SNMP function to get camera status, parameters and alarm related
information and manage the camera remotely when it is connected to the network.
Before setting the SNMP, please download the SNMP software and manage to receive
the camera information via SNMP port.
54

8.2.2.4 802.1x
The IEEE 802.1X standard is supported by the network cameras, and when the feature is
enabled, the camera data is secured and user authentication is needed when connecting
the camera to the network protected by the IEEE 802.1X.
8.2.2.5 Bonjour
Bonjour is based on Apple's multicast DNS service. Bonjour devices can automatically
broadcast their service information and listen to the service information of other devices.
If you don't know the camera information, you can use the Bonjour service on the
same LAN to search for network camera devices and then to access the devices.
56
8.2.2.6 RTMP
Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) was initially a proprietary protocol for streaming
audio, video and data over the Internet, between a Flash player and a server. RTMP is a
TCP-based protocol which maintains persistent connections and allows low-latency
communication. It can realize the function of live broadcast so that customers can log in to
the camera wherever there is a network.
Note:
• For YouTube live broadcast, if you use a newly created account to live broadcast,
you need to wait for 24hrs to activate the account for using live function.
• When using RTMP for YouTube live broadcast, make sure to select H.264 codec.
Note that audio is not applicable.
• Server Address in Network Camera RTMP interface needs to be filled with the format:
rtmp://<Server URL>/<Stream key>. Remember it needs “/” to connect between
<Server URL> and <Stream key>.
8.2.2.7 SIP
The Session Initiation Protocol(SIP) is a signaling communications protocol, widely used
for controlling multimedia communication sessions such as voice and video calls over
Internet Protocol (IP) networks. This page allows user to configure SIP related parameters.
The cameras can be configured as SIP endpoint to call out when alarm triggered; or allow
permitted number to call in to check the video if the video IP phone is used.
To use this function, the settings in SIP page must be configured properly. There are two
ways to get video through SIP, one is to dial the IP address directly, the other is account
registration mode. the details are as follows:
57
Method 1: IP Direct mode
Dial on the camera’s IP address directly through SIP phone, so you can see the video.
Note: SIP phone and the camera should in the same network segment.
Method 2: Account registration mode
• Before using the SIP, you need to register an account for the camera from the SIP server;
• Register another user account for the SIP device from the same SIP server;
• Call the camera User ID from the SIP device, you will get the video on the SIP device.
