H.264 / MPEG-4 Media Options

Select to stream video or audio data or both� This is enabled only when the video mode is set to H�264 or

MPEG-4�

H.264 / MPEG-4 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of H�264 or MPEG-4

streaming:

UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network

packets may be lost due to network burst trafc and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection

when occasions require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less important� Note that each

unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the Network Camera allows up

to ten simultaneous accesses�

UDP multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all clients

requesting streaming media� This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the Network Camera

while serving multiple clients at the same time� Note that to utilize this feature, the Network Camera must

be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time� For more information, please refer to

RTSP Streaming on page 59�

TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video

quality� The downside of this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol�

HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol without needing to open specic ports for

Security > IEEE 802.1x

Advanced Mode

Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 802�1x, which is a port-based network

access control� The network devices, intermediary switch/access point/hub, and RADIUS server must

support and have their 802�1x settings enabled�

The 802�1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area networks, which provides

authentication to network devices (clients) attached to a network port (wired or wireless). If all certicates

between client and server are veried, a point-to-point connection will be enabled; if authentication fails,

access on that port will be prohibited� 802�1x utilizes an existing protocol, the Extensible Authentication

Protocol (EAP), to facilitate communication�

■

The components of a protected network with 802.1x authentication:

1�

Supplicant: A client end user (camera), which requests authentication�

2�

Authenticator (an access point or a switch): A “go between” which restricts unauthorized end users

from communicating with the authentication server�

3�

Authentication server (usually a RADIUS server): Checks the client certicate and decides whether to

accept the end user’s access request�

■

VIVOTEK Network Cameras support two types of EAP methods to perform authentication: EAP-PEAP

and EAP-TLS�

Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x settings:

1� Before connecting the Network Camera to the protected network with 802�1x, please apply a digital

certificate from a Certificate Authority (i�e�, network administrator of your company) which can be

validated by a RADIUS server�

2� Connect the Network Camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN� Open the

conguration page of the Network Camera as shown below. Select EAP-PEAP or EAP-TLS as the

EAP method� In the following blanks, enter your ID and password issued by the CA, then upload

related certicate(s).

Supplicant

(Network Camera)

VIVOTEK

50 - User's Manual

3� When all settings are complete, move the Network Camera to the protected LAN by connecting it to an

802�1x enabled switch� The devices will then start the authentication automatically�

► Below is the authentication process for 802.1x:

1� The Certicate Authority (CA) provides the required signed certicates to the Network

Camera (the supplicant) and the RADIUS Server (the authentication server)�

2� A Network Camera requests access to the protected LAN using 802�1X via a switch (the

authenticator). The client offers its identity and client certicate, which is then forwarded

by the switch to the RADIUS Server, which uses an algorithm to authenticate the Network

Camera and returns an acceptance or rejection back to the switch�

3. The switch also forwards the RADIUS Server’s certicate to the Network Camera.

4� Assuming all certicates are validated, the switch then changes the Network Camera’s state

to authorized and is allowed access to the protected network via a pre-congured port.

Network > QoS (Quality of Service)

Advanced Mode

Quality of Service refers to a resource reservation control mechanism, which guarantees a certain quality

to different services on the network� Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity

is insufcient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be dened as, for

instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc�

The following are the main benets of a QoS-aware network:

■

The ability to prioritize trafc and guarantee a certain level of performance to the data ow.

■

The ability to control the amount of bandwidth each application may use, and thus provide higher

reliability and stability on the network�

Requirements for QoS

To utilize QoS in a network environment, the following requirements must be met:

■

All network switches and routers in the network must include support for QoS�

■

The network video devices used in the network must be QoS-enabled�

QoS models

CoS (the VLAN 802�1p model)

IEEE802�1p defines a QoS model at OSI Layer 2 (Data Link Layer), which is called CoS, Class of

Service� It adds a 3-bit value to the VLAN MAC header, which indicates the frame priority level from 0

(lowest) to 7 (highest)� The priority is set up on the network switches, which then use different queuing

disciplines to forward the packets�

Below is the setting column for CoS� Enter the VLAN ID of your switch (0~4095) and choose the priority

for each application (0~7).

If you assign Video the highest level, the switch will handle video packets rst.

► A VLAN Switch (802.1p) is required. Web browsing may fail if the CoS setting is incorrect.

► Class of Service technologies do not guarantee a level of service in terms of bandwidth and delivery

time; they offer a “best-effort.” Users can think of CoS as “coarsely-grained” trafc control and QoS as

“nely-grained” trafc control.

► Although CoS is simple to manage, it lacks scalability and does not offer end-to-end guarantees since

it is based on L2 protocol�

NOTE:

VIVOTEK

User's Manual - 63

QoS/DSCP (the DiffServ model)

DSCP-ECN defines QoS at Layer 3 (Network Layer)� The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model is

based on packet marking and router queuing disciplines. The marking is done by adding a eld to the

IP header, called the DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint)� This is a 6-bit field that provides 64

different class IDs� It gives an indication of how a given packet is to be forwarded, known as the Per Hop

Behavior (PHB)� The PHB describes a particular service level in terms of bandwidth, queueing theory,

and dropping (discarding the packet) decisions� Routers at each network node classify packets according

to their DSCP value and give them a particular forwarding treatment; for example, how much bandwidth

to reserve for it�

Below are the setting options of DSCP (DiffServ Codepoint)� Specify the DSCP value for each application

(0~63).

If H.264 / MPEG-4 mode is selected, the video is streamed via RTSP protocol� There are four parameters

for you to adjust the video performance:

■ Frame size

You can set up different video resolutions for different viewing devices� For example, set a smaller

frame size and lower bit rate for remote viewing on mobile phones and a larger video size and a higher

bit rate for live viewing on web browsers� Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth�

■ Maximum frame rate

This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second� Set the frame rate higher for smoother video

quality�

■ Intra frame period

Determine how often to plant an I frame� The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get better

video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption� Select the intra frame

period from the following durations: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and 4

seconds�

■ Video quality

A complex scene generally produces a larger le size, meaning that higher bandwidth will be needed

for data transmission. Therefore, if Constant bit rate is selected, the bandwidth utilization is xed at

a selected level, resulting in mutable video quality performance� The bit rates are selectable at the

following rates: 20Kbps, 30Kbps, 40Kbps, 50Kbps, 64Kbps, 128Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 768Kbps,

1Mbps, 2Mbps, 3Mbps, 4Mbps, 6Mbps, and 8Mbps� You can also select Customize and manually

On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are transmitted with the same quality;

If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends JPEG images to the client, producing

a moving effect similar to a filmstrip� Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same

image quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage� Because the media

contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the client� There are three

parameters provided in MJPEG mode to control the video performance:

■ Frame size

You can set up different video resolution for different viewing devices� For example, set a smaller

frame size and lower bit rate for remote viewing on mobile phones and a larger video size and a higher

bit rate for live viewing on web browsers� Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth�

■ Maximum frame rate

This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second� Set the frame rate higher for smoother video

quality�

If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps,

10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 50fps� If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the frame rates are

selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, 30fps, and 60fps� You can also

select Customize and manually enter a value� The frame rate will decrease if you select a higher

resolution�

■ Video quality

The video quality can be adjusted to the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed, and

Excellent� You can also select Customize and manually enter a value�

NOTE:

• Video quality and fixed quality refer to the compression rate, therefore, a lower value produces

higher quality�

• Converting high-quality video may significantly increase the CPU load, and you may encounter

streaming disconnections or video loss while capturing a complicated scene� In the event of

occurrence, we suggest you customize to a lower video resolution or reduce the frame rate to obtain

smooth video�

► How does motion detection work?

There are two motion detection parameters: Sensitivity and Percentage. In the illustration above,

frame A and frame B are two sequential images� Pixel differences between the two frames are

detected and highlighted in gray (frame C) and will be compared with the sensitivity setting�

Sensitivity is a value that expresses the sensitivity to moving objects� Higher sensitivity settings

are expected to detect slight movements while smaller sensitivity settings will neglect them� When

the sensitivity is set to 70%, the Network Camera denes the pixels in the purple areas as “alerted

pixels” (frame D).

Percentage is a value that expresses the proportion of “alerted pixels” to all pixels in the motion

detection window. In this case, 50% of pixels are identied as “alerted pixels”. When the percentage

is set to 30%, the motions are judged to exceed the dened threshold; therefore, the motion window

will be outlined in red�

For applications that require a high level of security management, it is suggested to use higher

sensitivity settings and smaller percentage values�

Audio detection, along with video motion detection, is applicable in the following scenarios:

1� Detection of activities not covered by camea view, e�g�, a loud input by gunshots or breaking

a door or window�

2� A usually noisy environment, such as a factory, suddently becomes quiet due to a breakdown

of machines�

3� A PTZ camera can be directed to turn to a preset point by the occurrence of audio events�

4� Dark environments where video motion detection may not function well�

The red circles in the diagram above indicate where the audio alarms can be triggered when

breaching or falling below the preset threshold�

How to congure Audio detection:

1� Once the Audio detection window is opened, the current sound input will be interactively

indicated by a uctuating yellow wave diagram.

2� Use a mouse click to drag the Alarm level tab to a preferred location on the slide bar�

3. Select the "Enable audio detection" checkbox and click Save to enable the feature�

NOTE:

1. Note that the numbers (0~100) on the side of wave diagram do not represent decibel (dB).

A sound intensity level has already been mapped to preset values� You can, however, use

the real-world inputs at your installation site as they are shown on the wave diagram to

congure an alarm level.

2. To congure this feature, you must not mute the audio in Conguration -> Media -> Audio.

The default of the camera can be muted due to the lack of an internal microphone� An

external microphone is separately provided by users�

3� Refer to page 81 for Audio input adjustment such as Audio input gain� If audio settings

have been tuned, you should recongure the audio alarm setting.

Appendix

URL Commands for the Network Camera

1. Overview

For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, the Network

Camera/Video Server can be easily integrated through URL syntax� This section specifies the external

HTTP-based application programming interface� The HTTP-based camera interface provides the

functionality to request a single image, control camera functions (PTZ, output relay etc�), and get and set

internal parameter values� The image and CGI-requests are handled by the built-in Web server�

2. Style Convention

In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, text within angle brackets denotes content that

is to be replaced with either a value or a string� When replacing the text string, the angle brackets

should also be replaced� An example of this is the description of the name for the server, denoted with

<servername> in the URL syntax description below, that is replaced with the string myserver in the URL

syntax example further down in the page�

URL syntax is denoted with the word "Syntax:" written in bold face followed by a box with the referenced

syntax as shown below. For example, name of the server is written as <servername> and is intended to

be replaced with the name of the actual server. This can either be a name, e.g., "mywebcam" or "thecam.

adomain.net" or the associated IP number for the server, e.g., 192.168.0.220.

Syntax:

http://<servername>/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg

Description of returned data is written with "Return:" in bold face followed by the returned data in a box. All data is

returned in HTTP format, i.e., each line is separated with a Carriage Return and Line Feed (CRLF) printed as \r\n.

Return:

HTTP/1.0 <HTTP code> <HTTP text>\r\n

URL syntax examples are written with "Example:" in bold face followed by a short description and a light grey box

with the example�

Example: request a single snapshot image

http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg

VIVOTEK

112 - User's Manual

3. General CGI URL Syntax and Parameters

CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or other separators.

When the CGI request includes internal camera parameters, these parameters must be written exactly as

they are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs are organized in functionally-related directories

under the cgi-bin directory. The file extension .cgi is required.

Syntax:

http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext>

[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]

Example: Set digital output #1 to active

http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/dido/setdo.cgi?do1=1
