5. Set the Input Level. Input sensitivity is measured on a scale from 0 to 100 (low to high).
Note: If the camera is installed in a noisy environment or the connected microphone has a
built-in line amplifier, you should lower audio sensitivity.
6. Click Save.
Managing RTP Settings
The RTP Settings page provides access to advanced multicast and MTU (TCP/IP) settings.
Setting Static Multicast Addresses
A multicast stream sends video data to multiple users from the same transmission. Each multicast user
connecting to the camera consumes no additional processing power.
You can set static multicast addresses and ports for all of your camera’s multicast streams (primary,
secondary, tertiary, audio).
Default, automatically-assigned multicast addresses are confined to the to the 239.x.x.x block in a scheme
matching your IP address and network settings; you can determine the automatically-assigned multicast
address(es) for your camera from the RTP page.
1. Go to the RTP Settings page from the A/V Streams menu.
2. Enter static multicast addresses and ports for your streams as necessary.
3. Set the Time to Live (TTL) for each stream; this is the number of routers the stream can pass
through before it expires.
4. Determine whether or not to Always Multicast this stream. This setting eliminates the need for a
client to connect to the camera to initiate a stream; when enabled, the camera begins sending the
multicast stream when it starts up, without requiring initiation from a client.
5. Click Save.
Setting the Maximum Transfer Unit Size (TCP/IP)
You can adjust the maximum transfer unit size to adjust to your network’s constraints. Changing the MTU
setting will require your camera to restart. This could take several minutes.
1. Set the Max Transfer Unit size.
2. Click Save, or Save and Reboot Camera, depending on your camera.
Configuring Smart Compression
Pelco Smart Compression Technology lowers bandwidth and storage requirements while retaining image
quality and critical information for forensic purposes. Benefits include reduced storage capacity
requirements and high resolution.
To work correctly, gathering bitrate statistics requires the date and time to be set correctly. If you have not
set your time zone, you will receive an “Inaccurate Date and Time” message. Date and time can be set in
General Settings.
Prior to establishing settings for Pelco Smart Compression, use A/V Streams to configure the video and
audio streams for the camera.
1. Select Settings and Short-Term Graph.
2. Indicate theSmart Compression Level.
