4.1 Assigning IP Address

To access the Network IP Camera, you need to assign an appropriate network IP address.

Important
• Please use the newly assigned IP address, do NOT use any occupied IP address or the
default or example IP address.
• It is highly recommended that you assign an IP address before placing the Network IP
Camera in a remote place or remote network.

• Network IP Address:
A network IP address is an identification code for computers or devices on a TCP/IP network.
Networks using TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destinations
within a closed
Network. IP addresses can be assigned at random as long as each one is unique. However,
connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered, public IP address to avoid
duplicates.
IP address can be acquired from a network administrator or an Internet service provider.

• MAC (Ethernet) Address (Media Access Control Address)

MAC address is a hardware identification code that uniquely identifies each device of a
network.
The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network media. Consequently, each type of network
media requires a different MAC layer. The MAC address of Network IP Camera is a 12-digit
number. A unique MAC address can be found on the label at the bottom of each Network IP
Camera.

6.2 Image Configuration

Rate Control
Select the Rate control by selecting the VBR [Variable Bit Rate] or CBR [Constant Bit Rate] control.
In VBR mode, the picture quality is fixed with fixed quantization value and the bit rate varies
automatically in reaction to the complexity of video to maintain the set quality. Thus using the more
bandwidth for complex video and less bandwidth for lower activity video. VBR is appropriate for storage
applications. VBR can be used where video needs to be streamed over a fixed-bandwidth link.
In CBR Mode, the bit rate is fixed irrespective of image complexity, and the picture quality is
automatically adjusted by the MPEG4 encoder on a frame-by-frame basis to maintain the pre-set average
bit rate. Thus the network bandwidth consumption is always fixed & predictable. CBR is of particular
benefit where video needs to be streamed over a fixed-bandwidth link.

Quality: Set the quality of encoding images. Lower is the number higher is the quality. This option is
available when user selects the VBR rate control. Note that to achieve the set quality, the maximum bit
rate can be used in VBR mode. Thus, the higher the set quality is, the more bandwidth usage on network.

Bit rate: Set the target bit rate of encoding video. This option is available in CBR mode only. You can set
the bit rate values from 30 kbps up to 5100 kbps at the interval of 30 kbps. The higher bit rate assures
higher quality of live video but on the expense of the more network bandwidth usage. Controlling the
maximum bit rate is the good idea for controlling the bandwidth used by Mpeg4 video stream.
As the bit rate is fixed, the frame rate and image quality can be affected adversely. That is, the frame rate
and image quality are traded off when the bit rate is fixed.

Resolution
Select the resolution for output video. Mpeg4 network IP camera support two type of image resolution,
D1[720x480] & CIF[352x240].

Frame rate:
Select frame rate according to the choice. The higher value of frame rate assures smoother video. But the
more fps needs the more network-bandwidth.

GOP
Set the size of GOP (Group of Pictures). MPEG4 video stream consist continuous GOP and one GOP
consists of one I frame and P frames. This value equals to the period of I frame. The more GOP size is
given the little network-bandwidth will be occupied. Setting high value of GOP will save considerable
network bandwidth.

Display Name/Location Stamp:


Select ‘On’ if you want to display camera name & location on the top of the transmitted images.

IP Camera generates, by default, interlaced video (a sequence of fields) which produces horizontal lines
on the screen for moving objects. Users are recommended to select ‘de-interlace enabled’ in case their
camera watches over moving objects.

In interlaced video, there appear horizontal lines when there are fast moving objects as below.

De-interlaced video gets rid of these lines from your screen. (See below de-interlaced video)

Contrast
Set the image contrast. The higher number in contrast setting makes brighter image. (Input digits from 0
to 200)

Hue
Set hue of the images. As a number is lower, color becomes pink. On the contrary, as a number is higher,
color becomes green. (Possible to input digit from 0 to 15)

36

Saturation
Set the saturation value of images. The higher number in saturation makes deeper color (Possible input
digits from 0 to 255)

Color Killer:
Enabling this will switch image into gray (monochrome) format.
Disabling this option set the images into original color.
