DHCP. The device IP address is changed after enabling the function. You can use
SADP to get the device IP address.
Note
The network that the device is connected to should support DHCP (Dynamic Host
Conguration Protocol).
Manual
You can set the device IPv4 parameters manually. Input IPv4 Address, IPv4 Subnet
Mask, and IPv4 Default Gateway, and click Test to see if the IP address is available.

Chapter 5 Video and Audio
This part introduces the
conguration of video and audio related parameters.
5.1 Video Settings
This part introduces the settings of video parameters, such as, stream type, video
encoding, and resolution.
Go to setting page:
Conguration > Video/Audio > Video .
Note
For device with multiple camera channels, select a channel before other settings.
5.1.1 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
offers the best resolution and frame rate the device can do. But high resolution and
frame rate usually mean larger storage space and higher bandwidth requirements in
transmission.
Sub Stream
The stream usually offers comparatively low resolution options, which consumes less
bandwidth and storage space.
5.1.2 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.
Thermal TandemVu Camera User Manual
21
5.1.3 Resolution
Select video resolution according to actual needs. Higher resolution requires higher
bandwidth and storage.
5.1.4 Bitrate Type and Max. Bitrate
Constant Bitrate
It means that the stream is compressed and transmitted at a comparatively xed
bitrate. The compression speed is fast, but mosaic may occur on the image.
Variable Bitrate
It means that the device automatically 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.
5.1.5 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.
5.1.6 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.
5.1.7 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 ratio and reduces
the size of video
le than MJPEG or MPEG-4 Part 2.
Thermal TandemVu Camera User Manual
22
H.265
H.265, also known as High Efciency Video Coding (HEVC) and MPEG-H Part 2, is a
compression standard. In comparison to H.264, it offers better video compression at the
same resolution, frame rate and image quality.
Prole
This function 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.
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.
SVC
Scalable Video Coding (SVC) is the name for the Annex G extension of the H.264 or H.265
video compression standard.
The objective of the SVC standardization 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 reconstruction quality similar to that achieved using the
existing H.264 or H.265 design with the same quantity of data as in the subset bitstream.
The subset bitstream is derived by dropping packets from the larger bitstream.
SVC enables forward compatibility for older hardware: the same bitstream can be
consumed by basic hardware which can only decode a low-resolution subset, while more
advanced hardware will be able decode high quality video stream.
5.1.8 Smoothing
It refers to the smoothness of the stream. The higher value of the smoothing is, the better
uency 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
uent.

VCA information can be displayed by Player and Video.
Player
Player means the VCA info can be displayed by the dedicated player provided by the
manufacturer.

ltering.
Go to the audio settings page: Conguration > Video/Audio > Audio .
5.2.1 Audio Input
