Video

All video-related settings can be configured on the page below.

Dual Mode Streaming

When this is activated, the camera will send out MPEG4 video and Motion-JPEG video at the same time.

This can be useful if you want to utilize a third-party video surveillance solution which uses Motion-JPEG

and at the same time want to benefit of the MPEG4 compression for your Web browser based access.

When dual mode is activated, the camera slits the available video frame rate in two: 15 fps for MPEG4 video

and 15 fps for M-JPEG video.

Video Format

You can choose between MPEG4 compression (default) and JPEG compression. The MPEG4 compression

is the ideal choice if you want to view the live image of the camera over a remote network connection and

you want to get the best possible frame rate out of the camera. MPEG4 compression generates a smaller

video stream, which allows for higher frame rates.

With activated JPEG compression, the frame rate drops for connected users; however, depending on the

compression settings, the image quality is slightly better than with MPEG4 compression. JPEG compression

is also required by many third-party video surveillance applications which don't support MPEG4 cameras

(yet). Only if the JPEG compression mode is activated can you utilize the "Direct Image Access" feature

described below. The "Direct Image Access" feature is useful when integrating the live video of the High-

Speed Dome Camera in video surveillance applications, or to show the image on a Web site. This function

is only available in JPEG streaming mode.
