By selecting Night Efficientor function, you can intelligently constrain maximum frames of video to be recorded per second at night time.

3. Video Orientation. Either flip (180 degree) or mirror (mirroring).

Click [Default] if you would like to discard changes made this time or return to factory default values.

27

VI. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

This section allows you to specify how video streaming may be compressed and transmitted over network. This IP Camera supports dual streaming, allowing secondary viewing device to receive realtime IP steaming at substantially low frame rates per second, while at the same time, does not affect settings of primary viewing channel.

Streaming 1 Primary Viewer which usually will consume large bandwidth level (e.g., main monitoring station like IP Viewer and iNVR surveillance system software)

Streaming 2 Secondary Viewer which usually cannot enjoy large bandwidth level (e.g., mobile device like 3GPP, 3G Symbian, and Smartphone mobile and PDA phones)

Basic Mode.

Resolution. This refers to resolution of video and there are four sizes to choose from:

SXGA 1280 x 1024 (High Definition 1.3 Megapixels)

VGA 640 x 480

QVGA 320 x 240

QQVGA 160 x 120

Quality

.

This refers to quality of video streaming, and there are five levels to choose from. The higher the quality is, the bigger the files size will be.

Video Frame Rate. This refers to maximum frames can be transmitted per second (fps). Maximum rate for 1.3Megapixels is at 10fps for both NTSC and PAL. For rest of resolutions, maximum rate is at 30fps

for NTSC and 25fps for PAL. In general, the higher the rate is, the better the video quality will be. As well, when video quality is higher, compression size is bigger and will take more bandwidth, thus maximum rate can be received in remote site will be less.

Video Format. IP Camera supports dual codices: MPEG-4 Simple Profile and JPEG format. Choose one of them that is best for your network bandwidth and storage capacity.

Video System. Either 60 Hz (mainly NTSC) or 50 Hz (mainly PAL). This will affect maximum Video

Frame Rate may be transmitted.

RTSP Path. When using Smartphone device (3G Symbian, Windows Embedded, or Windows Mobile) for mobile surveillance, enter RTSP address here. Examples:

28

VI. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ Streaming 1 without incoming audio rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/v2 Streaming 2 without incoming audio

Please consult RTSP address with your telecom service provider.

Advanced Mode. Additional fine setting options include the followings:

Bitrate Control Mode. Either CBR (Constant Bit

Rate) or VBR

(

Variable Bit Rate). For both of them, the higher the rate is, the better the video quality will be. Please test carefully for each bit rate level.

GOP Size. It refers to Group of Pictures per transmission unit. The higher the GOP is, the better the video quality will be. modes. Settings of Basic and Advanced modes are identical to those of them in Streaming 1.

3GPP Mode.

3GPP Mode is designed for mobile surveillance using 3GPP protocol. Due to limitation of protocol itself, maximum video resolution is at QQVGA. If you would like to transmit larger resolution of video, please use Smartphone device (3G Symbian, Windows Embedded, or Windows Mobile) with RTSP setting in

Advanced Mode (both Streaming 1 and Streaming 2). Examples: rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/3g with incoming audio stream rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/3gx without incoming audio stream

Please note, not all countries and telecom companies support 3GPP features necessary for private content streaming. Please consult with your local telecom service provider prior to operation.

Finally, click [Apply] to effect the changes.

Please note, since total video frame rate of this IP Camera is 30/25fps by hardware, total frame rates of

Streaming 1 and Streaming 2 together CANNOT exceed 30/25fps.

Please note, primary viewing channel may be set as Streaming 2. That is, there is no restriction to say that

Streaming 2 shall always be the low-bandwidth channel. But if you are using 3GPP connection for remote surveillance, it will always connect to Streaming 2. If you are using Smartphone device via RTSP ports for remote surveillance, either streaming channel is acceptable.

29

VI. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

c. Audio.

This IP Camera provides one embedded microphone (audio in) and one audio out port for users to connect with speaker (audio out), as well it supports bi-directional audio, thus allowing direct and simultaneous voice communication between local and remote users.

To enable audio transmission from IP Camera (local) to IP Viewer (remote), click [Enabled] to activate.

To enable audio transmission from IP Viewer (remote) to IP Camera (local), click [Communication] on

IP Viewer real-time display window.

Please note, by enabling audio communication, it means portions of CPU resource and network bandwidth will be consumed by audio, thus maximum video (frames per second) may be transmitted may have to be decreased technically.

30

VI. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

D. Event

This section contain two main portions as follow:

a. Video Motion Detection a. Video Motion Detection.

1. Setup.

Video motion detection (VMD) is a video content analytics (VCA) which can detect motion occurred in video digitally. When VMD is being detected, a series of reactions may be taken automatically.

Area. Each IP Camera is eligible for three areas of

VMD. Each one is represented in different color. To activate, click [Area 1] button then use mouse to drag an area on preview window.

Sensitivity. This function enables sensitive level of

VMD. For instance, the size of a person is very small on a public square and the size is even smaller if camera is mounted far away. Thus, the movement of this person usually cannot be sensed sharply. If you encounter similar situations, you can increase sensitivity level of VMD. The higher the sensitivity level is, the more sensitive the detection result will be.

Area 1/2/3. Check box of [Area 1] in order to setup method of reactions (described below) when a motion is being detected. The same method also applies to [Area 2] and [Area 3].

E-Mail. When a motion is being detected, an Alert Message with video evidence as attachment will be sent to a pre-defined e-mail account.

FTP. When a motion is being detected, video evidence will be sent to a pre-defined FTP account.

Save to SD Card. When a motion is being detected, evidence will be recorded to local SD Card storage port (video only). At the same time, you may also Send a Text Log to e-mail or FTP, notifying users that there has been an event occurred locally.

Interval between two recordings is fixed at 30 second.

31

VI. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Subject. Title of Alert Message to be sent via e-mail.

Interval. This is referring to period between two VMD events. Thus IP Camera will not overreact to a longer-time event.

This section defines types and lengths of evidence to be sent to pre-defined e-mail account and FPT server.

As well, when network is disconnected, events may be recorded to local SD Card storage.

AVI File. IP Camera will send one clip of video evidence in AVI format (either MPEG-4 or JPEG), with respect to pre-alarm and post-alarm recording made in Recording Length section.

Series of JPEG File(s). IP Camera will send a series of still image evidence in JPEG format, with respect to pre-alarm and post-alarm recording made in Recording Length section. This feature is available only when Video Compression is set to JPEG mode.

Single JPEG File. IP Camera will send one piece still image evidence in JPEG format, with respect to frequency made in Interval section.

Because the size of still JPEG is the smallest, this option is recommended for e-mail alerts or those who use mobile device (mobile and PDA phones) to receive e-mails.

IP Camera is intelligent enough to process pre-alarm and post-alarm recording so that you will never miss any important events against your interests.

Pre Alarm: 0~5 second.

Post Alarm: 0~10 second.

32

VI. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

3. Network Disconnection Recording.
