ACC 6 Enterprise Datasheet

NOTE: The dialog box may appear differently depending on the device. Options that are not supported by the
device will be disabled or hidden.
1. In the camera Setup tab, click .
The Compression and Image Rate dialog box is displayed.
The Bandwidth: area gives an estimate of the bandwidth used by the camera with the current settings.
Adjust the settings as required.
NOTE: For cameras capable of maintaining multiple streams, the settings in this dialog box only affect the
primary stream.
2. In the Format: drop down list, select the preferred streaming format.
3. In the Image Rate: bar, move the slider to select the number of images per second (ips) you want the
camera to stream over the network.
For H.264 cameras and encoders, the image rate setting must be divisible by the maximum image rate. If
you set the slider between two image rate settings, the application will round to the closest whole
number.
4. In the Image Quality: drop down list, select an image quality setting. An image quality setting of 1 will
produce the highest quality video and require the most bandwidth. The default setting is 6.
5. In the Max Bit Rate: field, select the maximum bandwidth the camera can use in kilobits per second
(kbps).
6. In the Resolution: drop down list, select the preferred image resolution.
7. In the Keyframe Interval: drop down list, enter the preferred number of frames between each keyframe.
To help you determine how frequently keyframes are recorded, the Keyframe Period: area tells you the
amount of time that passes between each recorded keyframe.
It is recommended that you have at least one keyframe per second.
8. If your camera supports multiple video streams, you can select the Enable Low Bandwidth Stream check
box. Depending on your version of the software, the check box may also be called "Enable secondary
stream".
When enabled, the lower resolution video stream is used by the Avigilon HDSM feature to maximize
bandwidth and storage efficiencies.
9. Click Apply to Cameras... to apply the same settings to other cameras of the same model.
10. Click OK.
Enabling Idle Scene Mode
If you are configuring an Avigilon self-learning video analytics camera, the Compression and Image Rate dialog
box offers the option to record video at a different frame rate and quality if there are no motion events detected
in the scene.
A motion event is when the camera uses its Pixel Motion Detection or Classified Object Motion Detection ability
to identify significant events in the scene. For more information, see Motion Detection on page 63.
