Client Settings
This chapter explains how to select the stream transmission mode and saving options on the
local computer. When finished with the settings on this page, click Save on the bottom of the
page to enable the settings�
MPEG-4 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes for MPEG-4 streaming:
UDP unicast: This protocol allows for better real-time audio and video streams� However, network
packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be broken. Activate the 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 36�
TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video
quality. However, the real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol.
HTTP: This protocol allows for the same transmission quality as the TCP protocol without needing to
open specific ports for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a firewall can utilize
this protocol to allow streaming data through�

Video quality settings for stream 1 / stream 2
The Network Camera offers two choices of video compression standards for real-time viewing: MPEG-4
and MJPEG.
Click the items to display the detailed configuration settings. You can set up two seperate streams for the
Network Camera 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�
If MPEG-4 mode is selected, it is streamed in RTSP protocol� There are four parameters provided in
MPEG-4 mode which allow you to adjust the video performance:
■ Frame size
Select the video size. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. The frame sizes are
selectable in the following resolutions: 176 x 144, 320 x 240 and 640 x 480.
■ 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, and 25fps. If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the frame rates are
selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 30fps. You can also select
Customize and manually enter a value.

VIVOTEK
■ 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 file size, meaning that higher bandwidth will be needed
for data transmission� Therefore, if Constant bit rate is selected, the bandwidth utilization is fixed 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, and 4Mbps. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value�
On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are transmitted with the same quality;
bandwidth utilization is therefore unpredictable. 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�
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
Select the video size. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. The frame sizes are
selectable in the following resolutions: 176 x 144, 320 x 240 and 640 x 480.
■ Maximum frame rate
This limits the maximal refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for a smoother video
quality.
If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at the following rates: 1fps,
2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps and 25fps. If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the
frame rates are selectable at the following rates: 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps
and 30fps. You can also select Customize, and manually enter a value�
■ Video quality
The video qualities are selectable at the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed and
Excellent. You can also select Customize, and manually enter a value�
NOTE
►
The value of video quality and fixed quality refers to the compression rate, so the lower value will
produce the higher quality.

NOTE
► How does motion detection work?
C
A
B
D
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 defines 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 identified as “alerted pixels”. When the percentage is
set to 30%, the motions are judged to exceed the defined 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�

Application
This section explains how to configure the Network Camera to react in response to particular
situations (event)� A typical application is that when a motion is detected, the Network Camera
sends buffered images to a FTP server or e-mail address as notifications.
In the illustration on the right, an event can be
triggered by many sources, such as motion
detection or external digital input devices.
When an event is triggered, you can specify
what type of action that will be performed. You
can configure the Network Camera to send
snapshots or videos to your email address or
FTP site�

URL Commands for the Network Camera
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.
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
returned as HTTP formatted, i�e�, starting with the string HTTP is line 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
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, the internal parameters must be written exactly
as they are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs are organized in function related directories
under the cgi-bin directory. The file extension of the CGI is required.
Syntax:
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext>
[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]
Example: Setting digital output #1 to active
