For higher-quality pictures
For best video quality, set "Fix quality" to "Detailled" or "Excellent" and the "Maximum frame rate" so
that it corresponds to the bandwidth of your network. If your network is slow and you get "broken" images, go
to the HTTP protocol under "Protocol Options" and select a more suitable transmission mode. Pictures can
also be affected by a time delay due to a slower connection. The more users in the network, the greater this
time delay.
For high frame rates with high-quality pictures
If you have a broadband network, set "Fix bit rate" to "512Kbps" or higher and leave "Fix bit rate"
unchanged. You can also set the bandwidth according to the actual network speed or the frame rate. Start
with 25 frames per second and reduce this setting until you get the best performance. However, do not
reduce it to less than 15 frames per second. If the picture quality is not improved, select a lower setting for
"Fix bit rate".
Select Motion-JPEG (MJPEG) for video codec type
The network camera is a camera with dual video codec, MPEG4 and MJEPG. If MJEPG is selected the
camera will transmit video data in JPEG format. Therefore, it requires higher bandwidth to view smooth
video. General speaking, each normal sized JPEG image would be 3k~12k bytes, depending on the selected
video quality and contents. Together with the frame rate selected, the administrator can control the
bandwidth of each connection.
Protecting the IR dome network camera with a password
Root password
The DIGI-LAN IR dome network camera is delivered without password. In this case all users have access to
the IR dome network camera, including its configuration, as long as they know the IP address. If other users
are to have access to the IR dome network camera, you should therefore assign a password to the camera.
To activate protection, enter a new password. The administrator is identified with this password.
Opening accounts for new users
Under "Configuration", select "Security". Now go to the Add user section.
Add an account with user name and password for a second user. You can define up to twenty accounts for
other users of the IR dome network camera. The camera checks only the access permission of the
corresponding user name and password. This means that two or more users can use the same account at
different levels. An option for access to the relay "I/O access" is available for every account.
