Figure 15. Basic Configuration / Audio

Audio Setting:

Click the Enable audio checkbox to enable audio. This page describes how to configure the basic audio settings for the camera. This camera supports bi-directional full duplex audio.

Compression type:

G.711 is the international standard for encoding wired-telephone audio on

64kBit/s channel. It is a PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) scheme operating at 8 kHz sample rate. The default setting is G.711 µ-law.

Sample rate:

Indicates the number of times per second the sound is sampled. The default setting is 8 kHz.

NOTE

G.711, also known as Pulse Code Modulation (PCM), is a very commonly used waveform codec.

G.711 uses a sampling rate of 8,000 samples per second, with the tolerance on that rate 50 parts per million (ppm). Non-uniform quantization (logarithmic) with 8 bits is used to represent each sample, resulting in a 64 kbit/s bit rate. There are two slightly different versions; μ-law, which is used primarily in North America, and A-law, which is in use in most other countries outside North

America. G.711 μ-law tends to give more resolution to higher range signals while G.711 A-law provides more quantization levels at lower signal levels.

Video & Image

Use the Video & Image tab to select a preset camera stream configuration or configure custom video stream settings. The camera features multiple video streams with selectable settings for

Profile, Resolution, Bit rate control, Compression, and Frame rate. The default names for the streams are Stream1, Stream2, Stream3, and Stream4. Although each stream can be programmed


34

independently, the settings of one stream can limit the options available for the other stream depending on the processing power used.

NOTES

- H.264 is the new generation compression standard for digital video, also known as MPEG4 Part 10.

This function offers higher video resolution than Motion JPEG or MPEG4 at the same bit rate and bandwidth, or the same quality video at a lower bit rate.

- MJPEG (Motion Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a simple compression technique for networked video. Latency is low and image quality is guaranteed, regardless of movement or complexity of the image. Image quality is controlled by adjusting the compression level, which in turn provides control over the file size, and thereby the bit rate.

Stream1

The Stream1 features the H.264 compression standard for primary stream.

Figure 23. Video & Image / Stream1

H.264 Setting:

Configures the H.264 setting value for stream1.

Profile:

Selects the stream profile that is to be used for transmissions. The default setting is High.

-- High: The primary profile for broadcast and disc storage applications, particularly for

HDTV (High-Definition television) or Blu-ray Disc applications.

-- Main: Originally intended as the mainstream consumer profile for broadcast and storage applications. Additional tools over baseline profile include: B slice type.

-- Baseline: Primarily for low-cost applications that requires additional error robustness such as video conferencing, video over-IP and mobile applications. Tools used by baseline profile include: I and P slice types.

Resolution:

Specified as the number of pixel-columns (width) by the number of pixel-rows

(height). The Resolution can be adjusted in the range from 320x240 to 1920x1080. The default setting is 1920x1080.

NOTE

The maximum resolution setting might not be obtainable due to programmed compression standard and processor power.

47

Bit rate control:

The bit rate can be set as VBR (Variable Bit Rate) or CBR (Constant Bit Rate).

-- VBR: Automatically 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.

-- CBR: Allows you to set a fixed target bit rate that consumes a predictable amount of bandwidth. As the bit rate would usually need to increase for increased image activity, but in this case can not, the frame rate and image quality are affected negatively.

Bit rate:

Indicates the quality of the video stream (rendered in kilobits per second). The higher value means the higher video quality and bandwidth required. The Compression can be adjusted in the range from 100 to 6000 kbps. The default setting is 4000 kbps.

Quality:

Automatically adjusts the compression rate to guarantee the image quality at only VBR mode. The default setting is Middle.

Frame rate:

Indicates the number of fps (frame per second) available for the video stream configuration. The Frame rate can be adjusted in the range from 1 to 30 fps. The default setting is

30 fps.

NOTES

- The maximum frame rate setting might not be obtainable due to programmed compression standard, resolution of the stream, and processor power.

- A higher frame rate is advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image quality throughput.

GOP structure:

Describes the composition of the video stream. This GOP (Group of Picture) setting configures the number of partial frames that occur between full frames in the video stream.

For example, in a scene where a door opens and a person walks through, only the movements of the door and the person are stored by the video encoder. The stationary background that occurs in the previous partial frames is not encoded because no changes occurred in that part of the scene; the stationary background is only encoded in the full frames. Partial frames improve video compression rates by reducing the size of the video. As the GOP increases, the number of partial frames increases between full frames. This setting is only available with H.264 compression standards. The default setting is IP. Please consult with your network administrator before changing.

GOP size:

The higher value saves considerably on bandwidth but may have an adverse effect on image quality. Higher values are only recommended on networks with high reliability. The GOP size can be adjusted in the range from 1 to 60. The default setting is 30. Please consult with your network administrator before changing.

Figure 31. Audio / Basic

Audio Setting:

Click the Enable audio checkbox to enable audio. This page describes how to configure the basic audio settings for the camera.

Compression type:

G.711 is the international standard for encoding wired-telephone audio on

64kBit/s channel. It is a PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) scheme operating at 8 kHz sample rate. The default setting is G.711 µ-law.

Sample rate:

Indicates the number of times per second the sound is sampled. The default setting is 8 kHz.

NOTES

- G.711, also known as Pulse Code Modulation (PCM), is a very commonly used waveform codec.

G.711 uses a sampling rate of 8,000 samples per second, with the tolerance on that rate 50 parts per million (ppm). Non-uniform quantization (logarithmic) with 8 bits is used to represent each sample, resulting in a 64 kbit/s bit rate.


58

- There are two slightly different versions; μ-law, which is used primarily in North America, and Alaw, which is in use in most other countries outside North America. G.711 μ-law tends to give more resolution to higher range signals while G.711 A-law provides more quantization levels at lower signal levels.

100

Network – QoS

Quality of Service (QoS) provides the means to guarantee a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on an IP network. Quality can be defined as e.g. a maintained level of bandwidth, low latency, no packet losses, etc.

Figure 60. System / Network – QoS

DSCP Setting

For each of the supported types of network traffic, enter a value for the DSCP (Differentiated

Services Code Point) field in the data packet's IP header. This value marks the network traffic so that network routers know which service(s) to apply to the packet, for example, the amount of bandwidth reserved for the type of traffic.

The QoS in the VK2-1080VRD Camera marks the data packets belonging to various types of network traffic originating from the unit. QoS-enabled network routers and switches then use these markings to apply particular treatment to these types of traffic, for example, to reserve a fixed amount of bandwidth.

The types of traffic that can be marked are video, audio, event/alarm traffic and management network traffic.

NOTES

The main benefits of a QoS-aware network can be summarized as:

101

- The ability to prioritize traffic and thus allow critical flows to be served before flows with lesser priority.

- Greater reliability in the network, thanks to the control of the amount of bandwidth an application may use, and thus control over bandwidth races between applications.

Troubleshooting

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you suspect a problem is being caused by incorrect configuration or some other minor problem, consult the troubleshooting guide below.

Upgrading the Firmware

Firmware is software that determines the functionality of the network camera. One of your first actions when troubleshooting a problem should be to check the current firmware. The latest version may contain a correction that fixes your particular problem. The current firmware version in your camera is displayed on the Basic Configuration or About menus screens. For the latest firmware of the camera, please contact your supplier.

Detailed instructions on how to perform the upgrade process are provided with each new release.

See also the Maintenance / Upgrade for more information.

General Troubleshooting

The following list covers some of the problems that may be encountered and suggests how to remedy them:

Symptom → possible causes and corrective actions

1. The camera cannot be accessed by some clients.

→ If using a proxy server, try disabling the proxy setting in your browser. Check all cabling and connectors.

2. The camera works locally, but not externally.

→ Check if there are firewall settings that need to be adjusted. Check if there are router settings that need to be configured.

3. Poor or intermittent network connection.

→ If using a network switch, check that the port on that device uses the same setting for the network connection type (speed/duplex).

4. The camera cannot be accessed via a host name.

→ Check that the host name and DNS server settings are correct.

5. Not possible to log in.

→ When HTTPS is enabled, ensure that the correct protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) is used. When attempting to log in, you may need to manually type in http or https in the browser's address bar.

6. No image using Refresh and/or slow updating of images.

→ If images are very complex, try limiting the number of clients accessing the camera.

7. Images only shown in black & white.

→ Check the Video & Image setting.

8. Blurred images.

→ Refocus the camera.


110

9. Poor image quality.

→ Increased lighting can often improve image quality. Check that there is sufficient lighting at the monitored location. Check all image and lighting settings.

10. Rolling dark bands or flickering in image.

→ Try adjusting the Exposure Control setting under AE and AWB part.

11. H.264 not displayed in the client.

→ Check that the correct network interface is selected in the Video & Image/Stream.

12. Multicast H.264 not displayed in the client.

→ Check with your network administrator that the multicast addresses used by the camera are valid for your network. Check that the Enable multicast checkbox are enabled in the

System/Network/RTP tab. Checks with your network administrator to see if there is a firewall preventing viewing.

13. Multicast H.264 only accessible by local clients.

→ Check if your router supports multicasting, or if the router settings between the client and the server need to be configured. The TTL value may need to be increased.

14. Colour saturation is different in H.264 and Motion JPEG.

→ Modify the settings for your graphics adapter. Please see the adapter's documentation for more information.

15. Poor audio quality.

→ Too many users/clients connected to the camera may affect the sound quality adversely. Try limiting the number of clients allowed to connect.

16. Distorted audio.

→ Check that the correct Audio Input source is selected. Select Microphone for a connected external microphone. Select Line for a connected line in source.

NOTE

If you cannot find the help you require, please see the User's Manual, or contact with your network administrator.
