z Off: Select Off, audio file won’t be transmitted by IP CAM.
¾ Audio Mode: You can select Full duplex or Half duplex.
z Full duplex: Select it for simultaneous communication in both direction between the
connected administrator and IP CAM. It means both parties can speak and be heard at the
same time.
z Half duplex: Select it for communication in both directions, but only one direction at a time
(not simultaneously). It means one party begins receiving a signal, it must wait for the
transmitter to stop transmitting, before replying. Therefore, once one party speak, he can’t
hear any voice from the other party, just like the communication by radio set.
¾ Video Clip Format: Select RECORDING compression format H.264 or MPEG-4.
z MPEG-4: MPEG-4 has the advantage of sending a lower volume of date per time unit
across the network (bit-rate) compared to Motion JPEG and therefore provides a relatively
high image quality at a lower bit-rate (bandwidth usage).
z H.264: H.264 provides higher compression rate than MPEG-4. Thus, H.264 can decrease
the bandwidth usage and further apply on 3G. However, H.264 will occupy more system
resources than MPEG-4. As long as the operating system appears operating difficulties
under H.264 format, please change to select MPEG-4.
¾ LED Indicator: The status of the LED indicatiors on the Camera. It’s turne on by default.
