6 Setting Video Parameters
Parameter
Description
Dynamic bit rate
You can set the dynamic bit rate only when you set Coding
protocol to H.264.
After you set the dynamic bit rate, the camera will automatically
use the dynamic bit rate to deliver more clear live video or
recordings when an alarm is generated. After that alarm is
cleared, the camera restores the bit rate you set for the data
stream.
NOTE
l It is recommended that you set the dynamic bit rate to a value greater
than the bit rate you set for the data stream.
l The dynamic bit rate is valid only for primary streams.
Full frame rate
The full frame rate is a frame rate that the IPC collects using a
sensor or chip.
NOTE
The full frame rate must be greater than or equal to the frame rate you set
for the data stream.
Coding protocol
Set the coding protocol based on the site requirements. The
options are as follows:
l H.264: The H.264 protocol requires relatively small
bandwidth to ensure the video quality.
l MJPEG: The MJPEG protocol decodes and displays each
frame independently without referring to the previous and
next frames. This protocol has a small compression ratio and
requires large bandwidth to ensure the video quality. This
protocol is suitable for video editing.
NOTE
l Before connecting cameras to a surveillance platform, ensure that the
surveillance platform supports coding protocols on cameras to
properly play live video and record video. If the surveillance platform
does not support coding protocols on cameras, change the coding
protocols on the cameras to that supported by the surveillance
platform.
l Local recordings support the H.264 protocol only.
Encoding complexity
The parameter is available only when you set Coding protocol
to H.264.
Two options are available: H.264 Base Profile and H.264 Main
Profile. Compared with H.264 Base Profile, H.264 Main Profile
demonstrates a better performance in encoding and compression,
and has higher requirements for the decoding performance of the
hardware device.
Resolution
Increasing the resolution improves the video quality but
consumes more bandwidth.
NOTE
l The PAL standard primarily applies to China and Europe.
l The NTSC standard primarily applies to America and Japan.

6 Setting Video Parameters
Parameter
Description
Bit rate type
The parameter is available only when you set Coding protocol
to H.264.
The bit rate is the number of data bits transmitted in a unit of
time.
Bit rate value
The parameter is available only when you set Bit rate type to
Constant bit rate.
Increasing the bit rate value improves the video quality but
consumes more bandwidth.
NOTE
l To ensure the video quality, you must set a proper bit rate value based
on the site requirements.
l To ensure video smoothness, the actual bandwidth is greater than the
bit rate value. When the bit rate is low, the required bandwidth is
generally 1.2 times of the bit rate.
Bit rate control mode
The parameter is available only when you set Bit rate type to
Constant bit rate. The options are as follows:
l Frame rate priority: The frame rate stability is preferentially
ensured. However, if the scenario is complex or if the object
moves quickly in an image, the actual bit rate can be greater
than the preset value.
l Image quality priority: The image quality is preferentially
ensured. However, if the scenario is complex or if the object
moves quickly in an image, frame loss may occur or live
video may not be played smoothly.
Bit rate upper limit
The parameter is available only when you set Bit rate type to
Variable bit rate.
The bit rate range is associated with the resolution.
Frame rate
The frame rate is the number of frames displayed in a second.
Increasing the frame rate improves the video quality but
consumes more bandwidth.
Image quality
The parameter is available only when you set Coding protocol
to H.264 and Bit rate type to Variable bit rate.
NOTICE
Better image quality indicates that more network bandwidth is consumed.
Configure a proper image quality value based on the site requirements.
I-frame interval
The parameter is available only when you set Coding protocol
to H.264.
I-frame is an intra-coded frame that represents a fixed image
independent of other picture types. Each group of pictures (GOP)
begins with this type of frame.Decreasing the I-frame interval
improves the video quality but consumes more bandwidth.
NOTE
It is recommended that the I-frame interval be set to two times of the
frame rate.

Step 2 Set ISP parameters. For detailed parameter description, see Table 6-4.
Table 6-4 ISP Parameter description
Parameter
Description
Day/Night mode
The day/night mode helps the IPC to adapt to low
illumination conditions. The options are as follows:
l Auto (default): The IPC automatically switches between
day and night modes based on illumination conditions.
l Color: The IPC captures color images.
l B/W: The IPC captures black and white images.
Day/Night sensitivity
This parameter is available only when you set Day/Night
mode to Auto.
The day/night sensitivity refers to sensitivity for switching
between color mode and B/W mode. A higher sensitivity
indicates higher flexibility to switch from B/W mode to
color mode. The default value is High.
Gain limit
This parameter is available when you set Day/Night mode
to Color or B/W.
The gain limit function is used to restrict the upper limit of
the Automatic Gain Control (AGC).
l In the case of low illumination conditions, the AGC can
be enhanced to improve image brightness. However, a
high level of AGC will increase the image noise and
degrade the image quality. Set this parameter based on
the site requirements.
l When Metering mode is set to Average metering in
infrared light conditions, over-exposure will occur on
the area with light in the foreground. By setting this
parameter, this phenomenon can be eased.
Exposure compensation
coefficient
Exposure compensation is a technique for adjusting the
exposure indicated by a photographic exposure meter, in
consideration of factors that may cause the indicated
exposure to result in a less-than-optimal image.
Auto aperture
l If you select the check box, the aperture is automatically
adjusted. The default value is selected.
l If you deselect the check box, the fixed aperture is the
maximum aperture.
NOTE
When the auto aperture function is enabled but the aperture cannot
be fixed (resulting in flashing video image), you can disable the
auto aperture function.

quality. To obtain high-resolution images, you can set the
background frequency to suit lighting conditions. Select a
proper background frequency based on the standard
frequency of the power grid. The default value is Disable.
NOTE
Disable the background frequency in natural light.
Dynamic range compressor
This function is used to compress the dynamic range based
on the human vision and increase brightness of dark areas to
retain more image details and ensure clear images.
NOTE
When Dynamic range compressor is set to Manual, you can drag
the Coefficient slider or enter a value in the spin box to adjust the
coefficient. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 255. A larger
value indicates a greater increase of the image brightness.
Backlight compensation
This parameter is available only when you set Dynamic
range compressor to Disable.
This parameter is available only when you set
Backlight/WDR/light suppression to Backlight
compensation
Metering mode
Various metering modes are provided to allow users to
select the most appropriate one for use in a variety of
lighting conditions. The options are as follows:
l Center-weighted average metering: In this metering
mode, the camera averages the exposure for the entire
metering area, but with greater emphasis on the center
metering zones.
l Average metering: In this metering mode, the camera
uses the light information coming from the entire scene
and averages for the final exposure setting, giving no
weighting to any particular portion of the metered area.
Shutter speed
This parameter is available only when you set Background
frequency to Disable.
A higher shutter speed indicates a longer exposure time.
