 Chapter 3-4-6 DDNS Settings  DNS stands for domain name server, it provides domain name translation service for a device’s IP. Basically, domain name is easier to remember than numeric values (IP). DNS service requires service registration and subscription. DynDNS (DDNS) provides domain name service without subscription. 
 
 
  
 
  
 
  
 Note: DDNS feature requires Internet connection. 
 To use  www.ddnsipcam.com, you can use the last 6 digits of the MAC address as the host  name  with  default  account,  the  last  6  digits  of  the  MAC  address,  and  the  default password, pass, if the AiP camera is on Internet with global IP address.  The AiP camera tries to automatically register to  www.ddnsipcam.com without further registering. For example, type “24094f.ddnsipcam.com” in a browser with login name “24094f” and password “pass” for login into the AiP camera, if the AiP camera is on Internet.  22  
						

							Chapter 3-5 Video Settings  This section describes the details in setting the H.264 FULL HD video’s attributes. Bit rate control, video input, and video resolution, settings can be configured. 
 Chapter 3-5-1 Video General  For transmitting H.264 FULL HD video over low bandwidth network such as Internet, please set the bit rate close to network upload bandwidth. H.264 FULL HD can encode frames based on the bit rate setting. 
 
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  Profiles: Selections of streaming combination  Profile Name: Description of the profile  Compression: compression type of the profile  Resolution: the resolution of the compression  VBR/CBR:  VBR:  Video  quality  encoding  mode/constant  bit  rate  encoding mode.  23  
						

							 Bit Rate: Maximum bit rate available for a network connection  Output Frame Rate: the frame rate of the profile  GOP: I frame period per second  Video Output: NTSC/PAL video system  Power line frequency: 60Hz/50Hz lighting power frequency 
 Chapter 3-5-2 Weighted Streaming Mode  W eighted streaming mode is activated when an alarm went off. The streaming goes to the maximum speed, for example 30 FPS. If there is no alarm activity, the streaming stays one frame per second for saving bandwidth and storage.

 Chapter 3-5-3 Video Quality  To  setup  video  quality,  please  adjust  brightness,  contrast,  hue, saturation,  and sharpness  accordingly.  The  AiP  camera  can  be  set  for  day  and/or  night  video quality for best video quality. 
 Day or Night Video Quality Mode  Day or night video quality can be fine tuned separately; the quality setting is scheduled based on the IR Cut scheduling table.

							To setup Exposure Control, Automatic Gain Control, W hite Balance Control, please adjust the value accordingly.  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 To increase, the sensitivity at nights, please adjust Sense Up feature.  Exposure Va lue: Adjust the va lue of the  image e xposure  WDR: Enable or disable wide dynamic range feature.  Black-light Compensation: Increase the exposure to the darker object.  Shutter limited: Min and max shutter range  W hite  Balance  Control:  Automatically  adjust  itself  depending  on  the ambient light including tungsten, indoor, fluorescents, or outdoor.  Mirror: Video mirroring  Flip: Video flipping 
 MoonLight function   Auto Gain Control, AGC (MoonLight function): Increase the gain of the video signal. If AGC can not still gain enough light, please set the Sense-Up feature. However, Sense-Up feature might cause motion blur at night.  3D Noise Reduction: Reduce noise at night.  Sense-Up:  Slow  shutter  feature  for  increasing  CMOS  sensitivity  at night. 

 Chapter 3-5-4 MoonLight function  MoonLight function feature is for low-light and high sensitivity DSP control enabling outstanding video quality at difficult environment. MoonLight function technology can be used for both black-n-white and/or color video mode. To do so, please first enable Auto Gain Control (AGC) setting. However, the combinational use of 3D noise reduction (3D DNR) can even reduce noise at low light environment. AGC and 3D DNR do not cause motion blur. If the sensitivity is still not good for the environment, Sense-Up feature can then be used. However, the drawback can cause motion blur at low light condition.  Chapter 3-5-5 Privacy Mask  Each  AiP  camera  has  four  privacy  masks.  A  user can  define the  privacy  mask  for security  reason.  To  use  it, simply  select  the  mask  number and  drag  the  mask  on video area.

							Chapter 3-5-6 Region of Interest (ROI)  Region  of  interest  (ROI)  feature  is  for  sub-stream  (D1  or  CIF)  video  buffer  to scale  and  to  crop  on  main  video  buffer  (1080P)  to  meet  best-fit  video  area.  The major purpose is to use sub-stream for saving storage or bandwidth.

							Chapter 3-6 IR Cut Removable  IR Cut removable allows to schedule IR activation by (1) auto, (2) day, (3) night, or (4) schedule. W hen the setting is set to "Auto", IR activation is determined by the light sensor. "Night" setting means that the IR cut filter is removed. "Day" setting means that the IR cut filter is forced to be always on. W hen activation schedule is enabled, IR cut filter can be scheduled based on a specific time frame. For example, a user can set the IR cut activation time starting from 19:00 pm (day to night time) until 6:00 am (night to day time).
