FIGURE 2-40: H.264 PELCO SMART COMPRESSION
Smart Compression Level
Smart Compression swiftly identifies dynamic motions occurred within a scene and retains its details with clear quality, whereas
the rest areas, e.g. static background, will be imposed on higher compression level, thus economically decreasing bandwidth
wielding on less important things and still keeping the dynamic motions details for future forensic purpose. The intensity for
Smart Compression can be defined by the different levels options. Select Off will simply disable this function.
Advanced Settings
Enable Dynamic GOP Length: Smart Compression allows user to enable Dynamic GOP Length, which results in a significant bit
rate reduction while keeping essentially the same video quality. Dynamic GOP achieves this feat by dynamically adjusting the
interval between I-frames according to amount of motion in the scene. Hence, when in a scene there is limited or no motion;
fewer I-frames will be used.
2.2.5 Event Source
Use the Events tab to configure camera events detections and the following handlers. Events detections are activated by
user-defined event sources that tell the device how to react when a specific event occurs. Event handlers are the actions that
the device takes when an event occurs. For example, an event source can be configured to alarm an operator via sending email
notification if a motion occurs within the predefined camera’s coverage.
2.2.5.1 Alarm Source
This page allows user to configure the settings of the connected alarm input source, which is the external alarm signaling
device, such as a door contact or motion detector. Both normally open and normally closed devices are supported.
