Chapter 4 Video and Audio
This part introduces the conguraon of video and audio related parameters.
4.1 Video Sengs
This part introduces the sengs of video parameters, such as, stream type, video encoding, and
resoluon.
Go to seng page: Conguraon → Video/Audio → Video .
4.1.1 Stream Type
For device supports more than one stream, you can specify parameters for each stream type.
Main Stream
The stream stands for the best stream performance the device supports. It usually oers the
best resoluon and frame rate the device can do. But high resoluon and frame rate usually
means larger storage space and higher bandwidth requirements in transmission.
Sub Stream
The stream usually oers comparavely low resoluon opons, which consumes less bandwidth
and storage space.
Other Streams
Steams other than the main stream and sub stream may also be oered for customized usage.
4.1.2 Video Type
Select the content (video and audio) that should be contained in the stream.
Video
Only video content is contained in the stream.
Video & Audio
Video content and audio content are contained in the composite stream.
4.1.3 Resoluon
Select video resoluon according to actual needs. Higher resoluon requires higher bandwidth and
storage.
Network Camera User Manual
11
4.1.4 Bitrate Type and Max. Bitrate
Constant Bitrate
It means that the stream is compressed and transmied at a comparavely xed bitrate. The
compression speed is fast, but mosaic may occur on the image.
Variable Bitrate
It means that the device automacally adjust the bitrate under the set Max. Bitrate. The
compression speed is slower than that of the constant bitrate. But it guarantees the image
quality of complex scenes.
4.1.5 Video Quality
When Bitrate Type is set as Variable, video quality is congurable. Select a video quality according
to actual needs. Note that higher video quality requires higher bandwidth.
4.1.6 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. Note that higher frame rate requires higher bandwidth and larger
storage space.
4.1.7 Video Encoding
It stands for the compression standard the device adopts for video encoding.
Note
Available compression standards vary according to device models.
H.264
H.264, also known as MPEG-4 Part 10, Advanced Video Coding, is a compression standard. Without
compressing image quality, it increases compression rao and reduces the size of video le than
MJPEG or MPEG-4 Part 2.
Network Camera User Manual
12
H.264+
H.264+ is an improved compression coding technology based on H.264. By enabling H.264+, you
can esmate the HDD consumpon 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.
When H.264+ is enabled, Max. Average Bitrate is congurable. The device gives a recommended
max. average bitrate by default. You can adjust the parameter to a higher value if the video quality
is less sasfactory. Max. average bitrate should not be higher than max. bitrate.
Note
When H.264+ is enabled, Video Quality, I Frame Interval, Prole and SVC are not congurable.
H.265
H.265, also known as High Eciency Video Coding (HEVC) and MPEG-H Part 2, is a compression
standard. In comparison to H.264, it oers beer video compression at the same resoluon, frame
rate and image quality.
H.265+
H.265+ is an improved compression coding technology based on H.265. By enabling H.265+, you
can esmate the HDD consumpon 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.
When H.265+ is enabled, Max. Average Bitrate is congurable. The device gives a recommended
max. average bitrate by default. You can adjust the parameter to a higher value if the video quality
is less sasfactory. Max. average bitrate should not be higher than max. bitrate.
Note
When H.265+ is enabled, Video Quality, I Frame Interval, Prole and SVC are not congurable.
I-Frame Interval
I-frame interval denes the number of frames between 2 I-frames.
In H.264 and H.265, an I-frame, or intra frame, is a self-contained frame that can be independently
decoded without any reference to other images. An I-frame consumes more bits than other
frames. Thus, video with more I-frames, in other words, smaller I-frame interval, generates more
steady and reliable data bits while requiring more storage space.
Network Camera User Manual
13
SVC
Scalable Video Coding (SVC) is the name for the Annex G extension of the H.264 or H.265 video
compression standard.
The objecve of the SVC standardizaon has been to enable the encoding of a high-quality video
bitstream that contains one or more subset bitstreams that can themselves be decoded with a
complexity and reconstrucon quality similar to that achieved using the exisng H.264 or H.265
design with the same quanty of data as in the subset bitstream. The subset bitstream is derived
by dropping packets from the larger bitstream.
SVC enables forward compability for older hardware: the same bitstream can be consumed by
basic hardware which can only decode a low-resoluon subset, while more advanced hardware
will be able decode high quality video stream.
MPEG4
MPEG4, referring to MPEG-4 Part 2, is a video compression format developed by Moving Picture
Experts Group (MPEG).
MJPEG
Moon JPEG (M-JPEG or MJPEG) is a video compression format in which intraframe coding
technology is used. Images in a MJPEG format is compressed as individual JPEG images.
Prole
This funcon means that under the same bitrate, the more complex the prole is, the higher the
quality of the image is, and the requirement for network bandwidth is also higher.
4.1.8 Smoothing
It refers to the smoothness of the stream. The higher value of the smoothing is, the beer uency
of the stream will be, though, the video quality may not be so sasfactory. The lower value of the
smoothing is, the higher quality of the stream will be, though it may appear not uent.
4.2 ROI
ROI (Region of Interest) encoding helps to discriminate the ROI and background informaon in
video compression. The technology assigns more encoding resource to the region of interest, thus
to increase the quality of the ROI whereas the background informaon is less focused.
Network Camera User Manual
14
4.2.1 Set ROI

Go to Conguraon → System → Security → Authencaon to choose authencaon protocol
and method according to your needs.
RTSP Authencaon
Digest and digest/basic are supported, which means authencaon informaon is needed when
RTSP request is sent to the device. If you select digest/basic, it means the device supports
digest or basic authencaon. If you select digest, the device only supports digest
authencaon.
RTSP Digest Algorithm
MD5, SHA256 and MD5/SHA256 encrypted algorithm in RTSP authencaon. If you enable the
digest algorithm except for MD5, the third-party plaorm might not be able to log in to the
device or enable live view because of compability. The encrypted algorithm with high strength
is recommended.
WEB Authencaon
Digest and digest/basic are supported, which means authencaon informaon is needed when
WEB request is sent to the device. If you select digest/basic, it means the device supports digest
or basic authencaon. If you select digest, the device only supports digest authencaon.
Network Camera User Manual

Go to Conguraon → Network → Advanced Conguraon → QoS .
2.
Set Video/Audio DSCP, Alarm DSCP and Management DSCP.
Note
Network can idenfy the priority of data transmission. The bigger the DSCP value is, the higher
the priority is. You need to set the same value in router while conguraon.
3.
Click Save.
9.17.5 Set IEEE 802.1X
IEEE 802.1x is a port-based network access control. It enhances the security level of the LAN/
WLAN. When devices connect to the network with IEEE 802.1x standard, the authencaon is
needed.
Go to Conguraon → Network → Advanced Sengs → 802.1X , and enable the funcon.
Set Protocol and EAPOL Version according to router informaon.
Protocol
EAP-LEAP, EAP-TLS, and EAP-MD5 are selectable
EAP-LEAP and EAP-MD5
If you use EAP-LEAP or EAP-MD5, the authencaon server must be congured. Register a
user name and password for 802.1X in the server in advance. Input the user name and
password for authencaon.
EAP-TLS
If you use EAP-TLS, input Idenfy, Private Key Password, and upload CA Cercate, User
