Configuring Data Streams
The IP AutoDome encodes dual data streams simultaneously according to two individually
customized profiles. This feature creates two (2) data streams per camera that can serve
different purposes. For example, one (1) data stream for local recording and one (1) data
stream optimized for transmission over the Local Area Network (LAN). In addition, the camera
offers a Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) option. M-JPEG is a video format that uses JPEG picture
compression in each frame of the video.
Click either the
MPEG-4 Stream 1
, the
MPEG-4 Stream 2
or the
M-JPEG
tab to switch
between the different displays for the camera image (see
Figure 8.5
).

NOTICE!

maximum number of connections for the device or network configuration.
