Context
Before connecting cameras to a surveillance platform, ensure that the surveillance platform
supports coding protocols on cameras to properly play live video and record video. If the
surveillance platform does not support coding protocols on cameras, change the coding
protocols on the cameras to that supported by the surveillance platform by referring to Setting
Video Stream Parameters.
NOTE
Some camera models use the H.265 coding protocol by default. If these cameras are connected to surveillance
platforms of outdated versions, the surveillance platforms may fail to play live video or record video. Before
connecting cameras to a surveillance platform, check whether the surveillance platform supports H.265. If no,
change the coding protocols on the cameras.
Procedure

High quality The high-quality package provides video images of the best
quality but consumes more network resources.
This package applies to the dedicated video surveillance
network with sufficient bandwidth (at least 20 Mbit/s bandwidth
for each IPC).
Balanced The balanced package reduces the number of data streams for
transmission and ensures image quality.
This package conserves the bandwidth and applies to most
surveillance scenarios (at least 6 Mbit/s bandwidth for each
IPC).
Low bandwidth The low-bandwidth package reduces the number of data streams
for transmission and ensures that the image quality is acceptable.
This package conserves the bandwidth and applies to
surveillance scenarios with insufficient bandwidth
(approximately 3 Mbit/s bandwidth for each IPC).
Mobile devices The mobile-service package reduces the number of data streams
for encoding by lowering the image resolution and frame rate.
This package applies to mobile surveillance scenarios, because
mobile devices have small screens, low bandwidth, and weak
decoding capabilities.

Parameter Description
Dynamic bit rate You can set the dynamic bit rate only when you set Coding
protocol to H.264 or H.265.
After you set the dynamic bit rate, the camera will automatically use
the dynamic bit rate to deliver more clear live video or recordings
when an alarm is generated. After that alarm is cleared, the camera
restores the bit rate you set for the data stream.
NOTE
l It is recommended that you set the dynamic bit rate to a value greater
than the bit rate you set for the data stream.
l The dynamic bit rate is valid only for primary streams.
Water mark You can select it to enable the watermark function to protect
information security, trace the anti-counterfeit, and protect the
copyright.
Full frame rate The full frame rate is a frame rate that the IPC collects using a
sensor or chip.

High Profile. Of them, H.264 Base Profile has the lowest encoding
compression performance and lowest requirements on hardware
decoding performance, while H.264 High Profile has the highest.
The coding complexity of H.265 is H.265 Main. When the coding
protocol is changed from MJPEG and H.265 back to H.264, H.264
High Profile is used by default.
Resolution Increasing the resolution improves the video quality but consumes
more bandwidth.
NOTE
l The PAL standard primarily applies to China and Europe.
l The NTSC standard primarily applies to America and Japan.
Bit rate type The Bit rate type parameter is available only when you set Coding
protocol to H.264 or H.265.
The bit rate is the number of data bits transmitted in a unit of time.
Parameter Description
Bit rate value The Bit rate value parameter is available only when you set Bit
rate type to Constant bit rate.
Increasing the bit rate value improves the video quality but
consumes more bandwidth.
l To ensure the video quality, you must set a proper bit rate value
based on the site requirements.
l To ensure video smoothness, the actual bandwidth is greater than
the bit rate value. When the bit rate is low, the required
bandwidth is generally 1.2 times of the bit rate.
l When the total bit rate of enabled live video streams exceeds 40
Mbit/s, you are advised to reduce the bit rate or the number of
enabled video streams to prevent image freeze or artifacts caused
by large bit streams.
Bit rate control The parameter is available only when you set Bit rate type to
mode Constant bit rate. The options are as follows:
l Frame rate priority: The frame rate stability is preferentially
ensured. However, if the scenario is complex or if the object
moves quickly in an image, the actual bit rate can be greater than
the preset value.
l Image quality priority: The image quality is preferentially
ensured. However, if the scenario is complex or if the object
moves quickly in an image, frame loss may occur or live video
may not be played smoothly.
Bit rate upper limit The Bit rate upper limit parameter is available only when you set
Bit rate type to Variable bit rate.
The bit rate range is associated with the resolution.
Frame rate The frame rate is the number of frames displayed in a second.
Increasing the frame rate improves the video quality but consumes
more bandwidth.
Image quality The Image quality parameter is available only when you set
Coding protocol to H.264 and H.265 and Bit rate type to Variable
bit rate.
NOTICE
Better image quality indicates that more network bandwidth is consumed.
Configure a proper image quality value based on the site requirements.
I-frame interval The I-frame interval parameter is available only when you set
Coding protocol to H.264 or H.265.
I-frame is an intra-coded frame that represents a fixed image
independent of other picture types. Each group of pictures (GOP)
begins with this type of frame.Decreasing the I-frame interval
improves the video quality but consumes more bandwidth.
NOTE
The I-frame interval ranges from 1 to 500. It is recommended that the I-
frame interval be set to two times of the frame rate.
Parameter Description
JPEG quality The JPEG quality parameter is available only when you set
Coding protocol to MJPEG.
Increasing the JPEG quality improves the video quality but
consumes more bandwidth.

l Line-in: line input. It is recommended that the audio input port be
connected to a device with higher audio output power, such as an
MP3 player, synthesizer, and active audio monitoring unit, to
prevent no sound or low sound volume.
Audio rate The parameter is available only when you set Audio format to G.
726 and OPUS.
Increasing the audio rate improves the audio quality but consumes
more bandwidth.
Audio sampling The parameter is available only when you set Audio format to
rate OPUS.
Audio sampling rate is the frequency of sampling audio signals per
second. A larger value indicates more natural voice.

ISP parameters are associated with each other. Set the ISP parameters strictly based on the site
requirements to prevent poor image quality or overexposure.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Settings > Channel Configuration > ISP Parameters.
The page for setting ISP parameters is displayed, as shown in Figure 5-5.
Step 2 Set ISP parameters. For detailed parameter description, see Table 5-4.
Parameter Description
Day/Night mode The day/night mode helps the IPC to adapt to low
illumination conditions. The options are as follows:
l Auto (default): The IPC automatically switches between
day and night modes based on illumination conditions.
l Color: The IPC captures color images.
l B/W: The IPC captures black and white images.
Day/Night sensitivity This parameter is available only when you set Day/Night
mode to Auto and Day/Night Trigger to Internal trigger.
The day/night sensitivity refers to sensitivity for switching
between color mode and B/W mode. A higher sensitivity
indicates higher flexibility to switch from B/W mode to
color mode. The default value is High.
Exposure compensation This parameter is available only when you set Exposure
coefficient mode to Auto exposure or Shutter priority.
Exposure compensation is a technique for adjusting the
exposure indicated by a photographic exposure meter, in
consideration of factors that may cause the indicated
exposure to result in a less-than-optimal image.
Focus mode You can select a focus mode based on the site requirements.
The options are as follows:
l Auto (default) : The IPC automatically detects the
surveillance scenario. If out of focus due to a scenario
change, the IPC automatically re-focuses to obtain clear
images. You can set Sensitivity in this mode. The default
value is Medium.
l Manual: Use the focus buttons on the PTZ control panel
to focus manually. In this mode, the IPC locks the focus
for the current scenario.
l Semi-Automatic: The speed dome focuses
automatically only once after panning, tilting and
zooming.
NOTE
l If you click a zoom button on the PTZ control panel, the
scenario changes and the IPC automatically re-focuses.
l If you click a focus button on the PTZ control panel, the IPC
locks the focus for the current scenario and does not re-focus
when the scenario changes.
Parameter Description
Exposure mode You can select an exposure mode based on the site
requirements. The options are as follows:
l Auto exposure (default): The camera automatically sets
the shutter speed, the aperture value and gain based on
an object's exposure value measured by the metering
system.
l Shutter priority: Users manually choose a specific
shutter speed, while the camera then automatically
selects an aperture value and gain to match. This mode is
used to shoot moving objects.
l Manual exposure: Users manually set the shutter speed,
and gain when the Auto exposure cannot meet the site
requirements.
Auto aperture l If you select the check box, the aperture is automatically
adjusted. The default value is selected.
l If you deselect the check box, the fixed aperture is the
maximum aperture.
NOTE
When the auto aperture function is enabled but the aperture cannot
be fixed (resulting in flashing video image), you can disable the
auto aperture function.
Background frequency This parameter is available only when you set Exposure
mode to Auto exposure.
A flashing background environment influences the image
quality. To obtain high-resolution images, you can set the
background frequency to suit lighting conditions. Select a
proper background frequency based on the standard
frequency of the power grid. The default value is Disable.
NOTE
Disable the background frequency in natural light.
Full frame rate The camera collects the full frame rate through the sensor or
chip. The full frame rate is read-only.
Shutter speed This parameter is available only when you set Exposure
mode to Shutter priority or Manual exposure.
A larger value of this parameter indicates a longer exposure
time.
Parameter Description
Auto slow shutter This parameter is available only when you set Exposure
mode to Auto exposure.
Slow shutter extends the duration from the moment the
shutter opens to the moment it closes. More time is
available for movement in the subject to be recorded by the
camera. The default value is Disable.
Shutter limit This parameter is available only when you set Exposure
mode to Auto exposure.
This function is mainly used to ensure that the shutter speed
is greater than or equal to the minimum value.
Gain limit This parameter is available only when you set Exposure
mode to Auto exposure or Shutter priority.
The gain limit function is used to restrict the upper limit of
the Automatic Gain Control (AGC).
l In the case of low illumination conditions, the AGC can
be enhanced to improve image brightness. However, a
high level of AGC will increase the image noise and
degrade the image quality. Set this parameter based on
the site requirements.
l When Metering mode is set to Auto metering in
infrared light conditions, over-exposure will occur on the
area with light in the foreground. By setting this
parameter, this phenomenon can be eased.
Parameter Description
Defog mode This function is used to increase the image visibility in poor
weather conditions such as rain, fog, and smog. A higher
defogging level indicates clearer images. However, a too
high level will lead to image distortion. You can set the
defogging level based on the site requirements. The default
value is Off.
Parameter Description
White balance mode White balance adjusts the color circuit within a camera to
remove color cast and ensure accurate color reproduction in
various lighting conditions. The options are as follows:
l Auto (default): The camera automatically adjusts the red
and blue offsets in environments where the color
temperature ranges from 2500 K to 10,000 K. Video
images may slant blue in the morning or at dusk.
l Manual: The red and blue offsets must be adjusted
manually.

Context
l Ensure that the camera lens is not blocked by objects, for example, leaves and columns,
to effectively and continuously track the object. Do not directly place the camera lens
opposite to a light source, water surface, or reflection plane, to prevent interference or
false alarms.
l Before configuring the intelligent analysis function, ensure that the camera lens is
focused accurately, video images are clear, and light conditions are proper. If the
illuminance is lower than 20 lux, or video images are not clear with much noise, set
artificial light sources for light compensation to ensure even and proper light.
l During the intelligent analysis test, the angle between the horizontal view angle of the
camera (that is, the optic normal of the camera lens) and the level ground or plane of the
monitoring object (for example, wall), must be greater than 15 degrees (reference: 30
degrees to 45 degrees) to ensure that the top of the monitoring object is covered.
l The camera installation height must be determined based on the site requirements
(reference: 5 m to 6 m for tilted installation and 3 m to 5 m for vertical installation). A
proper installation height can ensure that the object size displayed in video images is
greater than the minimum object size and less than the maximum object size. It is
recommended that the object size be 1/8 to 1/3 of the image size.
l It is recommended that Frame rate be set to 10 or higher on Settings > Channel
Configuration > Video&Stream Parameters to prevent impact on the behavior
analysis effect, for example, the object box is lost, the object box does not match the
object size, or all object boxes are displayed with delay.

Time
Symptom
The screen is frozen and the web client does not respond when the user logs in to the web
client using Internet Explorer in the 11.0.9600.16428IS version for the first time.
Cause Analysis
On Internet Explorer in the 11.0.9600.16428IS version, Only allow approved domains to
use ActiveX without prompt is set to Enable and Allow previously unused ActiveX
controls to run without prompt is set to Disable by default.
Procedure
1. Choose Internet options > Security > Custom level, as shown in Figure 14-1.
2. Set Only allow approved domains to use ActiveX without prompt to Disable, as
shown in Figure 14-2.
3. Set Allow previously unused ActiveX controls to run without prompt to Disable, as

14.1.30 Live Video Image Artifacts Occur and the CPU Usage
Reaches 100%
Symptom
Live video image artifacts occur and the CPU usage reaches 100%.
Possible Cause
With a high bit rate value (for example, 8 Mbit/s), and a small MTU value (for example,
1200), multiple or all of the following functions are used at the same time: video recording,
video capturing, super error concealment (SEC), and behavior Analysis . This increases the
system load and occupies much CPU performance.
Solution
Modify the bit rte value or MTU value. Alternatively, you can disable some of the following
functions: video recording, video capturing, SEC, or behavior Analysis .
Possible Cause
When you log in to an IPC using a non-Internet Explorer browser, transmission of sensitive
information is processed in an HTTPS pop-up window. This window is implemented based on
browser compatibility. The Firefox browser block pop-up windows by default.
Solution
1. Enter about:preferences#content in the address box.
2. Deselect Block pop-up windows.
Symptom
When Full frame rate is set to 25 and Frame rate is set to 20, the frame rate displayed on
the web live video preview page is unstable and fluctuates around 20, for example, 18, 19, 20,
or 21.
Possible Cause
The frame rate displayed on the web live video preview page is the frame rate of rendering
video instead of the actual encoding frame rate. This frame rate is counted every 2 seconds. In
non-full frame rate mode (20 or lower), the frame rate of the video play control may slightly
fluctuate due to the network delay or jitter in the rendering period. However, this fluctuation
does not affect the actual video frame rate.
Symptom
During live video viewing using a Firefox browser, if the live video image aspect ratio is 1:1
or its resolution is 1440 x 900, the image border slightly blinks.
Possible Cause
The compatibility between the Firefox browser border and the DDraw rendering mode may
cause slight blinking of the border. This symptom does not affect the live video image effect.
It occurs only when the live video image exceeds the Firefox browser border and the DDraw
rendering mode is used.
14.1.34 When You Log In To The Device In HTTP Mode, Set The
Password, And Click Save, The Page Does Not Respond Or Keeps
Displays The "Setting" Message
