This chapter explains how to select the stream transmission mode and saving options on the
local computer. When completed with the settings on this page, click Save on the page bottom
to enable the settings.
H.264 Media Options
Select to stream video or audio data or both. This is enabled only when the video mode is set to H.264.
H.264 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four options with the transmission protocols with
H.264 streaming:
UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network
packets may be lost due to network burst trafc and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection
when occasions require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less important. Note that each
unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the Network Camera allows up
to ten simultaneous accesses.
UDP multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all clients
requesting streaming media. This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the Network Camera
while serving multiple clients at the same time. Note that to utilize this feature, the Network Camera must
be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, please refer to
RTSP Streaming on page 63.
TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video
quality. The downside of this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of using the UDP
protocol.
HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol without needing to open specic ports for
streaming under some network environments. Users behind a rewall can utilize this protocol to allow
camera’s streaming data to pass through.
Two way audio
The half and Full-duplex modes determine the operation mode between the camera and the operator. In
Full-duplex mode, the client PC must have an audio codec capable of full-duplex functionality.

Security > IEEE 802.1x Advanced Mode
Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 802.1x, which is a port-based network
access control. The network devices, intermediary switch/access point/hub, and RADIUS server must
support and enable 802.1x settings.
The 802.1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area networks, which provides
authentication to network devices (clients) attached to a network port (wired or wireless). If all certicates
between client and server are veried, a point-to-point connection will be enabled; if authentication fails,
access on that port will be prohibited. 802.1x utilizes an existing protocol, the Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP), to facilitate communication.
■ The components of a protected network with 802.1x authentication:
1. Supplicant: A client end user (camera), which requests authentication.
2. Authenticator (an access point or a switch): A “go between” which restricts unauthorized end users
from communicating with the authentication server.
3. Authentication server (usually a RADIUS server): Checks the client certicate and decides whether to
accept the end user’s access request.
■ Network Cameras support two types of EAP methods to perform authentication: EAP-PEAP and EAP-
TLS.
Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x settings:
1. Before connecting the Network Camera to the protected network with 802.1x, please apply a digital
certicate from a Certicate Authority (ie. MIS of your company) which can be validated by a RADIUS
server.
2. Connect the Network Camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN. Open the
conguration page of the Network Camera as shown below. Select EAP-PEAP or EAP-TLS as the
EAP method. In the following blanks, enter your ID and password issued by the CA, then upload
related certicate(s).
Supplicant
(Network Camera)
Authenticator
(Network Switch)
Authentication Server
(RADIUS Server)
53
3. When all settings are complete, move the Network Camera to the protected LAN by connecting it to
an 802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the authentication automatically.
● The maximum length of password is 200 symbols.
● The authentication process for 802.1x:
1. The Certicate Authority (CA) provides the required signed certicates to the Network Camera
(the supplicant) and the RADIUS Server (the authentication server).
2. A Network Camera requests access to the protected LAN using 802.1X via a switch (the
authenticator). The client offers its identity and client certificate, which is then forwarded
by the switch to the RADIUS Server, which uses an algorithm to authenticate the Network
Camera and returns an acceptance or rejection back to the switch.
3. The switch also forwards the RADIUS Server’s certicate to the Network Camera.
4. Assuming all certicates are validated, the switch then changes the Network Camera’s state
to authorized and is allowed access to the protected network via a pre-congured port.

4. In the Networking Services dialog box, select Universal Plug and Play and click OK.
5. Click Next in the following window.
6. Click Finish. UPnPTM is enabled.
● How does UPnPTM work?
UPnPTM networking technology provides automatic IP conguration and dynamic discovery of
devices added to a network. Services and capabilities offered by networked devices, such as
printing and le sharing, are available among each other without the need for cumbersome
network configuration. In the case of Network Cameras, you will see Network Camera
shortcuts under My Network Places.
● Enabling UPnP port forwarding allows the Network Camera to open a secondary HTTP port
on the router-not HTTP port-meaning that you have to add the secondary HTTP port number
to the Network Camera’s public address in order to access the Network Camera from the
Internet. For example, when the HTTP port is set to 80 and the secondary HTTP port is set to
8080, refer to the list below for the Network Camera’s IP address.
From the Internet In LAN
http://203.67.124.123:8080 http://192.168.4.160 or
http://192.168.4.160:8080
● If the PPPoE settings are incorrectly congured or the Internet access is not working, restore
the Network Camera to factory default; please refer to Restore on page 40 for details. After
the Network Camera is reset to factory default, it will be accessible on the LAN.

access name is used to differentiate the streaming source.
If you want to use an RTSP player to access the Network Camera, you have to set the video mode to
H.264 and use the following RTSP URL command to request transmission of the streaming data.
rtsp://<ip address>:<rtsp port>/<access name for stream1 ~ 3>
For example, when the access name for stream 1 is set to live.sdp:
1. Launch an RTSP player.
2. Choose File > Open URL. A URL dialog box will pop up.
3. Type the above URL command in the address eld.
4. The live video will be displayed in your player.
RTSP port /RTP port for video, audio/ RTCP port for video, audio
■ RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) controls the delivery of streaming media. By default, the port
number is set to 554.
■ The RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is used to deliver video and audio data to the clients. By
default, the RTP port for video is set to 5556 and the RTP port for audio is set to 5558.
■ The RTCP (Real-time Transport Control Protocol) allows the Network Camera to transmit the data by
monitoring the Internet trafc volume. By default, the RTCP port for video is set to 5557 and the RTCP
port for audio is set to 5559.
The ports can be changed to values between 1025 and 65535. The RTP port must be an even number
and the RTCP port is the RTP port number plus one, and thus is always an odd number. When the RTP
port changes, the RTCP port will change accordingly.

Multicast settings for stream 1 ~ 3: Click the items to display the detailed configuration information.
Select the Always multicast option to enable multicast for stream 1 ~ 3.
Unicast video transmission delivers a stream through point-to-point transmission; multicast, on the other
hand, sends a stream to the multicast group address and allows multiple clients to acquire the stream at
the same time by requesting a copy from the multicast group address. Therefore, enabling multicast can
effectively save Internet bandwith.
The ports can be changed to values between 1025 and 65535. The multicast RTP port must be an even
number and the multicast RTCP port number is the multicast RTP port number plus one, and thus is

Network > QoS (Quality of Service) Advanced Mode
Quality of Service refers to a resource reservation control mechanism, which guarantees a certain quality
to different services on the network. Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity
is insufcient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be dened as, for
instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc.
The following are the main benets of a QoS-aware network:
■ The ability to prioritize trafc and guarantee a certain level of performance to the data ow.
■ The ability to control the amount of bandwidth each application may use, and thus provide higher
reliability and stability on the network.
Requirements for QoS
To utilize QoS in a network environment, the following requirements must be met:
■ All network switches and routers in the network must include support for QoS.
■ The network video devices used in the network must be QoS-enabled.
QoS models
CoS (the VLAN 802.1p model)
IEEE802.1p defines a QoS model at OSI Layer 2 (Data Link Layer), which is called CoS, Class of
Service. It adds a 3-bit value to the VLAN MAC header, which indicates the frame priority level from 0
(lowest) to 7 (highest). The priority is set up on the network switches, which then use different queuing
disciplines to forward the packets.
Below is the setting column for CoS. Enter the VLAN ID of your switch (0~4095) and choose the priority
for each application (0~7).
If you assign Video the highest priority level, your network switch will handle video packets rst.
● A VLAN Switch (802.1p) is required. Web browsing may fail if the CoS setting is incorrect.
● Class of Service technologies do not guarantee a level of service in terms of bandwidth and
delivery time; they offer a “best-effort.” Users can think of CoS as “coarsely-grained” traffic
control and QoS as “nely-grained” trafc control.
● Though CoS is simple to manage, it lacks scalability and does not offer end-to-end guarantees
since it is based on L2 protocol.
NOTE
68
QoS/DSCP (the DiffServ model)
DSCP-ECN defines QoS at Layer 3 (Network Layer). The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model is
based on packet marking and router queuing disciplines. The marking is done by adding a eld to the
IP header, called the DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint). This is a 6-bit field that provides 64
different class IDs. It gives an indication of how a given packet is to be forwarded, known as the Per Hop
Behavior (PHB). The PHB describes a particular service level in terms of bandwidth, queueing theory,
and dropping (discarding the packet) decisions. Routers at each network node classify packets according
to their DSCP value and give them a particular forwarding treatment; for example, how much bandwidth
to reserve for it.
Below are the setting options of DSCP (DiffServ Codepoint). Specify the DSCP value for each application
(0~63).
69
Network > SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
Advanced Mode
This section explains how to use the SNMP on the network camera. The Simple Network
Management Protocol is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of
management information between network devices. It helps network administrators to remotely
manage network devices and nd, solve network problems with ease.
■ The SNMP consists of the following three key components:
1. Manager: Network-management station (NMS), a server which executes applications that monitor and
control managed devices.
2. Agent: A network-management software module on a managed device which transfers the status of
managed devices to the NMS.
3. Managed device: A network node on a managed network. For example: routers, switches, bridges,
hubs, computer hosts, printers, IP telephones, network cameras, web server, and database.
Before conguring SNMP settings on the this page, please enable your NMS rst.

Adaptive IR
When enabled, the camera automatically adjust the IR projection to adjacent objects in order to avoid
over-exposure in the night mode.
The Adaptive IR function is more benecial when the spot of intrusions or an object of your interest is
close to the lens and the IR lights. For example, if an intruder has a chance of getting near the range
of 3 meters, Adaptive IR can effectively reduce the over-exposure. For a surveillance area at a greater
distance, e.g., 5 meters, the Adaptive IR function may not bring as signicant benets as in close range.
IR cut lter
With a removable IR-cut lter, this Network Camera can automatically remove the lter to let Infrared light
pass into the sensor during low light conditions.
■ Auto mode
The Network Camera automatically removes the lter by judging the level of ambient light.
■ Day mode
In day mode, the Network Camera switches on the IR cut lter at all times to block infrared light from
reaching the sensor so that the colors will not be distorted.
■ Night mode
In night mode, the Network Camera switches off the IR cut lter at all times for the sensor to accept
infrared light, thus helping to improve low light sensitivity.
■ Synchronize with digital input
The Network Camera automatically removes the IR cut lter when DI triggers.
■ Schedule mode
The Network Camera switches between day mode and night mode based on a specied schedule.

Click the stream item to display the detailed information. The maximum frame size will follow your
settings in the above Viewing window sections.
This Network Camera offers real-time H.264 and MJEPG compression standards (Dual Codec) for real-
time viewing.
If H.264 mode is selected, the video is streamed via RTSP protocol. There are several parameters for
you to adjust the video performance:
■ Frame size
You can set up different video resolution for different viewing devices. For example, set a smaller
frame size and lower bit rate for remote viewing on mobile phones and a larger video size and a higher
bit rate for live viewing on web browsers. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth.
■ Maximum frame rate
This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for smoother video
quality. Applied frame rate changes with congured FOV automatically.
For example, if the power line frequency is set to 50Hz at 1080P Full HD, the frame rates are
selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 12fps, 15fps, 20fps and 25fps. If the power line
frequency is set to 60Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 12fps,
15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 30fps. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value. The frame
rate will decrease if you select a higher resolution.
85
■ Intra frame period
Determine how often to plant an I frame. The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get better
video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption. Select the intra frame period
from the following durations: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and 4 seconds.
■ Video quality
• Constant bit rate: A complex scene generally produces a larger file size, meaning that higher
bandwidth will be needed for data transmission.The bandwidth utilization is congurable to match
a selected level, resulting in mutable video quality performance. The bit rates are selectable at
the following rates: 20Kbps, 30Kbps, 40Kbps, 50Kbps, 64Kbps, 128Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps,
768Kbps, 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 3Mbps, 4Mbps, 6Mbps, 8Mbps, 10Mbps, 12Mbps, 14Mbps, and
16Mbps.You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.
- Target bit rate: select a bit rate from the pull-down menu. The bit rate ranges from 20kbps to a
maximum of 8Mbps.The bit rate then becomes the Average or Upper bound bit rate number.The
Network Camera will strive to deliver video streams around or within the bit rate limitation you
impose.
- Policy: If Frame Rate Priority is selected, the Network Camera will try to maintain the frame rate
per second performance, while the image quality will be compromised.If Image quality priority is
selected, the Network Camera may drop some video frames in order to maintain image quality.
• Fixed quality: On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are transmitted with the
same quality; bandwidth utilization is therefore unpredictable.
• Quality: The video quality can be adjusted to the following settings: Acceptable, Satisfactory, Good,
Very Good, and Excellent. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.
- Maximum bit rate: With the guaranteed image quality, you might still want to place a bit
rate limitation to control the size of video streams for bandwidth and storage concerns. The
congurable bit rate starts from 1Mbps to 40Mbps.
The Maximum bit rate setting in the Fixed quality configuration can ensure a reasonable and
limited use of network bandwidth.For example, in low light conditions where a Fixed quality
setting is applied, video packet sizes can tremendously increase when noises are produced with
electrical gain.
You may also manually enter a bit rate number by selecting the Customized option.
86
• Smart codec:
Smart codec can effectively reduce the video packet size while maintaining good video
quality in the selected areas of your interest. When properly congured, Smart codec can
reduce the stream size to half or even lower.
Unfold the Smart codec conguration menu by selecting the Smart codec checkbox. You
can then congure the following parameters:
Background
Q= Acceptable or low
Foreground
Q= Good or better
• Foreground quality: Foreground is the area of your interest where you want to
maintain its video quality. The quality can be: Low, Acceptable, Satisfactory, Good, Very
Good, or Excellent.
• Background quality: Background is the area that is less important on the scene,
such as the building in the below drawing. You can congure the camera to produce
a lower-quality display for this area. The background quality can be: Low, Acceptable,
Satisfactory, Good, Very Good, or Excellent.
• Maximum bit rate: This is an upper threshold on the bit rate per second for producing
and transmitting the Smart stream video. It is congurable from 1Mbps to 40Mbps. You
can also manually enter a number (in kbps).
87
• Mode:
- Auto: When set to Auto, only the moving objects and the areas around them will be
displayed with the Foreground quality. The rest of the screen will be displayed with the
Background (lower) quality.
- Manual: When selected, the Manual window setting option will be displayed. Click on it
to display the setting window. You can then manually allocate the regions of your interest
on the current eld of view. Click New, drag, and pull the window to cover the regions
of your interest. Note that the title bar on each window is not taken into account when
setting the Foreground areas.
You can create up to 3 ROI windows. Click Save to preserve your setting and click
Close to nish the conguration.
ROI_0
ROI_1
Background
Q= Acceptable or low
Foreground
Q= Very Good
Foreground
Q= Very Good
88
- Hybrid: When enabled, moving objects in the Background areas will also be displayed
using the Foreground (better) quality.
Note the following with the Smart codec setting:
1. When using the “Auto” or “Hybrid” modes, up to 30 moving objects can be displayed
using the Foreground quality.
2. The Smart codec will not be so effective in terms of bandwidth saving when applied in
a complex scene where there are objects moving constantly all over the screen.
3. Smart codec is only congurable with H.264 and streams #1 and #2.
89
►
Video quality and xed quality refers to the compression rate, so a lower value will produce higher
quality.
►
Converting high-quality video may signicantly increase the CPU loading, and you may encounter
streaming disconnection or video loss while capturing a complicated scene. In the event of
occurance, we suggest you customize a lower video resolution or reduce the frame rate to obtain
smooth video.
If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera sends consecutive JPEG images to the client, producing
a moving effect similar to a filmstrip. Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same
image quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage. Because the media
contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the client. There are three
parameters provided in MJPEG mode to control the video performance:
■ Frame size
You can set up different video resolution for different viewing devices. For example, set a smaller
frame size and lower bit rate for remote viewing on mobile phones and a larger video size and a higher
bit rate for live viewing on web browsers. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth.
■ Maximum frame rate
This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for smoother video
quality. Applied frame rate changes with congured FOV automatically.
For example, if the power line frequency is set to 50Hz at 1080P full HD, the frame rates are selectable
at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 12fps, 15fps, 20fps, and 25fps. If the power line frequency is
set to 60Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 12fps, 15fps, 20fps,
25fps, and 30fps. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value. The frame rate will
decrease if you select a higher resolution.
■ Video quality
The video quality can be adjusted to the following settings: Acceptable, Satisfactory, Good, Very Good,
and Excellent. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.

Internal microphone input gain: Select the gain of the internal audio input according to ambient
conditions. Adjust the gain from 100% (most sensitive) to 0% (least sensitive).
External microphone input gain: Select the gain of the external audio input according to ambient
conditions. Adjust the gain from 100% (most sensitive) to 0% (least sensitive).
Audio type: Select audio codec AAC or GSM-AMR and the bit rate.
■ AAC provides good sound quality at the cost of higher bandwidth consumption. The bit rates are
selectable from: 16Kbps, 32Kbps, 48Kbps, 64Kbps, 96Kbps, and 128Kbps.
■ G.711 also provides good sound quality and requires about 64Kbps. Select pcmu (μ-Law) or pcma
(A-Law) mode.

Event > Event settings Advanced Mode
This section explains how to congure the Network Camera to respond to particular situations
(event). A typical application is that when a motion is detected, the Network Camera sends
buffered images to an FTP server or e-mail address as notifications. Click on Help, there is
an illustration shown in the pop-up window explaining that an event can be triggered by many
sources, such as motion detection or external digital input devices. When an event is triggered,
you can specify what type of action that will be performed. You can configure the Network
Camera to send snapshots or videos to your email address or FTP site.
Event
To set an event with recorded video or snapshots, it is necessary to configure the server and media
settings so that the Network Camera will know what action to take (such as which server to send the
media les to) when a trigger is activated. An event is an action initiated by a user-dened trigger source.
In the Event column, click Add to open the event settings window.
95
■ Event name: Enter a name for the event setting.
■ Enable this event: Select this option to enable the event setting.
■ Priority: Select the relative importance of this event (High, Normal, or Low). Events with a higher
priority setting will be executed rst.
■ Detect next event after seconds: Enter the duration in seconds to pause motion detection after a
motion is detected. This can prevent event-related actions to be too frequently performed.
Follow the steps 1~3 to arrange the three elements -- Schedule, Trigger, and Action to set an event. A
total of 3 event settings can be congured.
1. Schedule
Specify the period for the event. Please select the days of the week and the time in a day (in 24-hr time
format) to specify when will the event-triggering conditions take effect.
2. Trigger
This is the cause or stimulus which denes what will trigger the event. The trigger source can be cong-
ured to use the Network Camera’s built-in motion detection mechanism or external digital inputs.
There are several choices of trigger sources as shown on next page.
Select each item to display its
related options.
■ Video motion detection
This option makes use of the built-in motion detection mechanism as a trigger source. To enable this
function, you need to congure a Motion Detection Window rst. For more information, please refer to

■ Periodically
This option allows the Network Camera to trigger periodically for every other dened minute. Up to 999
minutes are allowed.
■ Digital input
This option allows the Network Camera to use an external digital input device or sensor as a trigger
source. Depending on your application, there are many choices with digital input devices on the market
which help detect changes in temperature, vibration, sound, light, etc.
■ System boot
This option triggers the Network Camera when the power to the Network Camera is disconnected.
■ Recording notify
This option allows the Network Camera to trigger when the recording disk is full or when recording
starts to overwrite older data.
96
■ Audio detection
A preset threshold can be congured with an external microphone as the trigger to system event. The
triggering condition can be an input exceeding or falling below a threshold. Audio detection can take
place as a complement to motion detection or as a method to detect activities not covered by the
camera's view.
Once you have a preset audio alarm level, you can dene the triggering condition either as an audio
input rises above or falls below the alarm level.
■ Camera tampering detection

Motion Detection Setting 1:
For normal situations
109
A green bar indicates that even though motions have been detected, the event has not been triggered
because the image variations still fall under the dened threshold.
If you want to congure specic motion detection settings individually for day/night/schedule operations,
please click Prole to open the Motion Detection Prole Settings page as shown below. A total of three
motion detection windows can be congured on this page as well.
Please follow the steps beolw to set up a prole:
1. Create a new motion detection window.
2. Check Enable this prole.
3. Select the applicable mode: Day mode, Night mode, or Schedule mode. Please manually enter a time
range if you prefer the Schedule mode.
4. Click Save to enable the settings and click Close to exit the page.
This motion detection window will also be displayed on the Event settings page. You can go to Event
> Event settings > Trigger to choose it as a trigger source. Please refer to page 108 for detailed
information.

● How does motion detection work?
There are two motion detection parameters: Sensitivity and Percentage. In the illustration
above, frame A and frame B are two sequential images. Pixel differences between the
two frames are detected and highlighted in gray (frame C) and will be compared with the
sensitivity setting. Sensitivity is a value that expresses the sensitivity to moving objects.
Higher sensitivity settings are expected to detect slight movements while smaller sensitivity
settings will neglect them. When the sensitivity is set to 70%, the Network Camera denes
the pixels in the purple areas as “alerted pixels” (frame D).
Percentage is a value that expresses the proportion of “alerted pixels” to all pixels in the
motion detection window. In this case, 50% of pixels are identied as “alerted pixels”. When
the percentage is set to 30%, the motions are judged to exceed the defined threshold;
therefore, the motion window will be outlined in red.
For applications that require a high level of security management, it is suggested to use
higher sensitivity settings and smaller percentage values.

Applications > DI and DO
Connect DI or DO devices to the camera's terminal block, the camera will automatically detect
the current connection state as pulled-high or pulled-low. You may then define the triggering
condition.
Digital input: Select High or Low to dene the "Normal status" for the digital input. The Network
Camera will report the current status.
Digital output: Select Grounded or Open to dene the "Normal status" for the digital output. The
Network Camera will show whether the trigger is activated or not.
Applications > Tampering detection
This section explains how to set up camera tamper detection. With tamper detection, the
camera is capable of detecting incidents such as redirection, blocking or defocusing, or even
spray paint.
Please follow the steps below to set up the camera tamper detection function:
1. Check Enable camera tampering detection.
2. Enter the tamper trigger duration. (10 sec. ~ 10 min.) The tamper alarm will be triggered only
when the tampering factor (the difference between current frame and pre-saved background)
exceeds the trigger threshold.
3. Set up the event source as Camera Tampering Detection on Event > Event settings >
Trigger. Please refer to page 94 for detailed information.
112
Applications > Audio detection
Audio detection, along with video motion detection, is applicable in the following scenarios:
1. Detection of activities not covered by camera view, e.g., a loud input by gun shots or breaking a
door/window.
2. A usually noisy environment, such as a factory, suddenly becomes quiet due to a breakdown of
machines.
3. A PTZ camera can be directed to turn to a preset point by the occurrence of audio events.
4. Dark environments where video motion detection may not function well.
The red circles indicate where the audio alarms can be triggered when breaching or falling below
the preset threshold.
How to congure Audio detection:
1. Once the Audio detection window is opened, the current sound input will be interactively
indicated by a uctuating yellow wave diagram.
2. Use a mouse click to drag the Alarm level tab to a preferred location on the slide bar.
3. Select the “Enable audio detection“ checkbox and click Save to enable the feature.

• If the Alarm level and the received volume are set within a range of 20% on the wave
diagram, frequent alarms will be triggered. It is recommended to set the Alarm level
farther apart from the detected sound level.
• To configure and enable this feature, you must not configure video stream #1 into
Motion JPEG. If an external microphone input is connected and recording of audio
stream is preferred, audio stream is transmitted between camera and viewer/recording
station along with stream #1.
• Refer to page 90 for Audio settings, and page 81 for video streaming settings.
You can use the Prole window to congure a different Audio detection setting. For example, a
place can be noisy in the day time and become very quiet in the night.
1. Click on the Enable this prole checkbox. Once the Audio detection window is opened, the
current sound input will be interactively indicated by a uctuating yellow wave diagram.
2. Use a mouse click to drag the Alarm level tab to a preferred location on the slide bar.
3. Select the Day, Night, or Schedule mode check circles. You may also manually congure a
period of time during which this prole will take effect.
4. Click Save and then click Close to complete your conguration.
NOTE

If you enable adaptive recording and enable time-shift cache stream on Camera A, only when an event
is triggered on Camera A will the server record the streaming data in full frame rate; otherwise, it will only
request the I frame data during normal monitoring, thus effectively save lots of bandwidths and storage.
■ Pre-event recording and post-event recording
The Network Camera has a buffer area; it temporarily holds data up to a certain limit. Enter a number
to decide the duration of recording before and after a trigger is activated.
■ Priority: Select the relative importance of this recording (High, Normal, or Low). Recording with a higher
priority setting will be executed rst.

TOSHIBA Network Camera
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but
changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change
it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public
License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program
whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered
by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public
Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if
you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these
rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities
for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must
give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can
get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license
which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone
understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by
someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the
original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'
reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the
danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect
making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be
licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modication follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the
copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.
The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modications and/or translated
into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term
"modication".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modication are not covered by this License; they
are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the
Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of
129
130
having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program
does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive
it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to
this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a
copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option
offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a
work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modications or work under the terms
of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modied les to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the
les and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or
is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to
all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must
cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print
or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that
there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy
of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print
such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an
announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modied work as a whole. If identiable sections of that work
are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate
works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you
distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole
which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this
License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and
every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written
entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or
with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not
bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy an d distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in
object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you
also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must
be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used
for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for
a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;
or,
131
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding
source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modications to
it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules
it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code
distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form)
with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the
executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated
place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source
along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the
Program is void,and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties
who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing
else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of
this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the
Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient
automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the
Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions
on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any
other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court
order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse
you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously
your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence
you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit
royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly
through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain
entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance,
the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in
other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right
claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting
the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license
practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the
author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and
132
a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the
rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by
patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under
this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this
License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General
Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present
version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version
number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the
Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License,
you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution
conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving
the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH
YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR
LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO
OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public,
the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and
change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of
each source le to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each le should have
at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the
GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2
of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY;
without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program;
if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA
02110-1301 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive
mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type
`show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the
General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than
`show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign
a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision' (which
makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
Ty Coon, President of Vice
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary
programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit
linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU
Lesser General Public License instead of this License.
