Streaming Window

The Streaming window provides options for configuring video streams from the IP camera. You can configure settings for the primary and an optional secondary video stream.

Configuring a secondary stream is useful for providing a video stream that is at a lower resolution than the primary stream to third-party devices or software.

The primary stream supports H.264 for video. The secondary stream supports MJPEG for video.

When configuring video streams, be aware of the following guidelines:

• You cannot configure a secondary stream (channel 2) if you configure the resolution of the primary stream to 2560 x 1920, or 1920 x 1080 @ 20 FPS or higher

•

You cannot configure the resolution for the primary stream to 2560 x 1920, or 1920 x 1080 @ 20

FPS or higher if a secondary stream is enabled

The resolution of the primary stream must be higher than the resolution of the secondary stream

•

You cannot configure a maximum frame rate of 30 for the primary stream if the secondary stream is enabled.

Multiple secondary frame rates are supported.

Table 4-1 shows the frame rate combinations of

primary and secondary streams with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and

Table 4-2 shows the frame rate

combinations of primary and secondary streams with a 4:3 aspect ratio. If a secondary frame rate that is not shown in this table is selected in Cisco Video Surveillance Manager, the IP camera uses the closest available frame rate.

Video Quality

Description

Choose an option for the video quality of the video stream from the IP camera:

•

Constant Bit Rate —Available for the primary stream only. Specifies that the video stream is output at or close to the constant bit rate that you choose. The default value is 4 Mbps. A higher bit rate provides better video quality but consumes more bandwidth.

Fixed Quality —Specifies that video is output at a fixed quality, which ranges from Very High to Low. The bit rate may vary to maintain this quality. The default fixed quality is Normal. A higher fixed quality provides better video quality but consumes more bandwidth.

You can use these options to help manage bandwidth use in your network.

For example, if the IP camera is focused on an area with little movement, such as an emergency exit, you can configure it with a low fixed quality.

Analog Video Area

Note This option applies to the primary stream only.

Enable Analog Video

Port

Check this check box if you if you want the IP camera to enable analog video for installation purposes. To enable analog video, the following settings are required:

• The primary video stream frame rate must be set to 15 fps or lower.

• The secondary video stream must be disabled.

Camera Window

The Camera window provides options for making certain video adjustments, exposure control, and configuring the operation of the IP camera day and night filters.

The IP camera day and night filters allow the IP camera to optimize its video image for various lighting conditions. When the IP camera uses its day filter, it is operating in day mode . In this mode, the camera displays video images in color. When the IP camera uses its night filter, it is in night mode . In this mode, the camera displays video images in black and white.
