Maintenance > System Service> Software to enable the function is required.
The main stream is usually for recording and live view with good bandwidth, and
the sub-stream can be used for live view when the bandwidth is limited.
You can customize the following parameters for the selected stream type.
Video Type:
Select the stream type to video stream, or video & audio composite stream. The audio
signal will be recorded only when the Video Type is Video & Audio.
Resolution:
Select the resolution of the video output.
Bitrate Type:
Select the bitrate type to constant or variable.
Video Quality:
When bitrate type is selected as Variable, 6 levels of video quality are selectable.
Frame Rate:
Set the frame rate. The frame rate is to describe the frequency at which the video
stream is updated and it is measured by frames per second (fps). A higher frame rate
is advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image
quality throughout.
Max. Bitrate:
Set the max. bitrate from 32 to 16384 Kbps. The higher value corresponds to the higher
video quality, but the better bandwidth is required.
The maximum limit of the max. bitrate value varies according to different camera
platforms. For certain cameras, the maximum limit is 8192 Kbps or 12288 Kbps.
Video Encoding:
The camera supports multiple video encodings types, such as H.264, H.265, and
MJPEG. Supported encoding type for different stream types may differ. H.265 is a new
encoding technology. Compared with H.264, it reduces the transmission bitrate under
the same resolution, frame rate and image quality.
Mobile Network Camera • User Manual
56
Selectable video encoding types may vary according to different camera modes.
H.264+ and H.265+:
− H.264+: If you set the main stream as the stream type, and H.264 as
the video encoding, you can see H.264+ available. H.264+ is an
improved compression coding technology based on H.264. By
enabling H.264+, users can estimate the HDD consumption by its
maximum average bitrate. Compared to H.264, H.264+ reduces
storage by up to 50% with the same maximum bitrate in most
scenes.
− H.265+: If you set the main stream as the stream type, and H.265 as
the video encoding, you can see H.265+ available. H.265+ is an
improved compression coding technology based on H.265. By
enabling H.265+, users can estimate the HDD consumption by its
maximum average bitrate. Compared to H.265, H.265+ reduces
storage by up to 50% with the same maximum bitrate in most
scenes.
You need to reboot the camera if you want to turn on or turn off the H.264+/H.265+.
If you switch from H.264+ to H.265+ directly, and vice versa, a reboot is not required
by the system.
Upgrade your video player to the latest version if live view or playback does not
work properly due to compatibility.
With H.264+/H.265+ enabled, the parameters such as profile, I frame interval,
video quality, and SVC are greyed out.
With H.264+/H.265+ enabled, some functions are not supported. For those
functions, corresponding interfaces will be hidden.
H.264+/H.265+ can spontaneously adjust the bitrate distribution according the
requirements of the actual scene in order to realize the set maximum average
bitrate in the long term. The camera needs at least 24 hours to adapt to a fixed
monitoring scene.
Max. Average Bitrate:
When you set a maximum bitrate, its corresponding recommended maximum average
bitrate will be shown in the Max. Average Bitrate box. You can also set the maximum
average bitrate manually from 32 Kbps to the value of the set maximum bitrate.
Profile:
When you select H.264 or H.265 as video encoding, you can set the profile. Selectable
profiles vary according to camera models.
Mobile Network Camera • User Manual
57
I Frame Interval:
Set I Frame Interval from 1 to 400.
SVC:
Scalable Video Coding is an extension of the H.264/AVC and H.265 standard. Select
OFF/ON to disable/enable the SVC function. Select Auto and the device will
automatically extract frames from the original video when the network bandwidth is
insufficient.
Smoothing:
It refers to the smoothness of the stream. The higher value of the smoothing is, the
better fluency of the stream will be, though, the video quality may not be so
satisfactory. The lower value of the smoothing is, the higher quality of the stream will
be, though it may appear not fluent.

ROI Encoding
Purpose:
ROI (Region of Interest) encoding helps to discriminate the ROI and background
information in video compression, which means, the technology assigns more
encoding resource to the region of interest, thus to increase the quality of the ROI
whereas the background information is less focused.
ROI function varies according to different camera models.

Some of these functions have the options of setting regions, threshold and sensitivity
for detection.
Region: A pre-defined vertexes area on the live view image. Targets, such as,
people, vehicle or other objects, who enter and loiter in the region will be detected
and trigger the set alarm.
Threshold: Range [0 s-10 s], the threshold for the time of the object loitering in
the region. If you set the value as 0, alarm is triggered immediately after the object
entering the region.
Sensitivity: Range [1-100]. Sensitivity stands for the percentage of the body part
of an acceptable target that enters the pre-defined region.
Sensitivity = 100 – S

Appendix 1 SADP Software Introduction
Description of SADP
SADP (Search Active Devices Protocol) is a kind of user-friendly and installation-free online device
search tool. It searches the active online devices within your subnet and displays the information of
the devices. You can also modify the basic network information of the devices using this software.
Search active devices online
Search online devices automatically
After launch the SADP software, it automatically searches the online devices every 15 seconds
from the subnet where your computer locates. It displays the total number and information
of the searched devices in the Online Devices interface. Device information including the
device type, IP address and port number, etc. will be displayed.
