Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 32 IPC6112-D Configuration Guide 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.

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.

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.
