watermarks are intended to ensure that a video generated by the camera is not altered. The watermark
text can be up to 126 characters long.
Attention:
the watermark is not shown on the video. It can be used to check if the video has been altered using a
specific software.

Extra Stream
Lower resolution stream used to transmit at a lower bitrate. It comes enabled from the factory, but can be disabled by
un-checking the checkbox next to the
Extra Stream column.
»
Compression type:
there are four options:
H.264B, H.264, MJPEG, and H265. H.264B uses a lower compression
level compared to H.264.
H.264 is more efficient than MJPEG because it requires fewer bits for a sharper image.
H.265 is more efficient than H.264 because, in scale, it needs fewer bits for a sharper image. If the
MJPEG encoder is
used, the user must increase the bitrate to a higher value than the one used by H.264.

Resolution:
it has lower resolutions compared to the main Stream.
Extra stream resolution
Note:
the other settings are similar to those of the main Stream.
4.3. Network
Under
Network you will find all the network settings that the camera has. From IP address configuration to port
configuration. In this menu IP settings are performed on the camera.
TCP/IP - version 4

Mode:
in
Mode there are two options:
»
Static:
when
Static is selected, you need to set the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway manually. These settings
will be static and if you move the network camera, you may need to access it to reconfigure these options.
»
DHCP:
When in DHCP, the camera receives the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway automatically from a server
connected to the network. If the camera is moved to another network that also has a
DHCP server, it will receive these
settings from this new server without the need to access it for reconfiguration.
»
MAC address:
field where the camera’s MAC address is displayed.
