of computers concurrently accessing the camera, the transmission interval may be longer than the set
value.
• If images are not delivered in the specified transmission interval, you can make the images be delivered
closer to the specified time by lowering the resolution or image quality.

							H.264(1)/H.264(2)[H.264 transmission]
Select “On” or “Off” to determine whether or not to transmit H.264 images.
When “Quad stream” is selected for “Image capture mode”, “H.264 transmission” is always set to “On” and
these selections cannot be selected.
• On:  Transmits H.264 images.
• Off:  Does not transmit H.264 images.
• Default:  On
Note
•When the “Image capture mode” type is “2 Monitor”,“H.264(1)” displays the Fisheye image, and “H.
264(2)” displays either the Panorama, Double Panorama, or Quad PTZ image.
• When  “On” is selected for  “H.264 transmission ” in  “H.264(1)”  or “H.264(2)” , displaying of H.264 images
or JPEG images on the “Live” page will become available.
• When “On” is selected for “H.264 transmission” in “H.264(1)” or “H.264(2)”, the transmission interval
of JPEG images may sometimes become longer.
[Internet mode (over HTTP)]
Select “On” when transmitting H.264 images via the Internet. It is possible to transmit H.264 images without
changing the broadband router settings configured for JPEG image transmission.
• On:  H.264 images and audio will be transmitted using the HTTP port. Refer to page 161 for further
information about the HTTP port number settings.
• Off:  H.264 images and audio will be transmitted using the UDP port.
• Default:  Off
Note
•When “On” is selected, only “Unicast port (AUTO)” will be available for “Transmission type”.
• When “On” is selected, it may take time to start displaying H.264 images.
• When  “On” is selected, H.264 images may not be displayed depending on the number of the concurrent
access user and audio data availability, etc.
• When “On” is selected, only IPv4 access is available.
[Image capture size]
Select the image capture size. The image capture sizes that can be selected depend on “Image capture
mode”. For information on the image capture sizes that can be selected, refer to page 10.
• Default:
– H.264(1): Fisheye/2992x2992
– H.264(2): Fisheye/640x640
[Transmission priority]
Select a transmission priority for H.264 images from the following.
• Constant bit rate:  H.264 images will be transmitted with the bit rate selected for “Max bit rate (per
client) *”.
• VBR:  H.264 images will be transmitted with the frame rate selected for  “Frame rate* ” while maintaining the
image quality level selected in  “Image quality ”. H.264 images will be transmitted with the bit rate kept within
the maximum bit rate that is set for  “Max bit rate  (per client)* ”. The image quality is fixed, and the recording
capacity changes according to the  “Image quality” setting and conditions of the subject. When calculation
of recording capacity is needed in advance, use “Advanced VBR”.
• Frame rate:  H.264 images will be transmitted with the frame rate selected for “Frame rate*”.
• Best effort:  In accordance with the network bandwidth, H.264 images will be transmitted with the bit rate
varying between the maximum and minimum bit rates that are set for “Max bit rate (per client)*”.
Operating Instructions99

							•Advanced VBR : H.264 images are transmitted at the frame rate specified for  “Frame rate* ” while the image
quality is controlled so that the average transmission rate during the period specified for “Control time
period” becomes the bit rate selected for “Max bit rate (per client)*”.
• Default:  Frame rate
Note
•When “Frame rate” or “Advanced VBR” is selected for “Transmission priority”, number of users who
can access the camera may be limited more (may become less than 10).
[Frame rate*]
Select a frame rate for H.264 images from the following.
1fps/ 3fps/ 5fps*/ 7.5fps*/ 10fps*/ 12fps*/ 15fps*/ 20fps*/ 30fps*
• Default:  15fps*
Note
•When “Frame rate”, “Advanced VBR”, or “VBR” is selected for “Transmission priority”, this setting is
available.
• “Frame rate*” is restricted by “Max bit rate (per client)*”. For this reason, the frame rate may be lower
than the specified value when any value marked with an asterisk  (*) is selected. When  “VBR” is selected
for “Transmission priority”, depending on the settings of “Max bit rate (per client)*” and “Image
quality”, transmission of images may periodically be paused. Check the transmission of images after
changing settings.
[Burst tolerance level]
Select how much the bit rate can exceed “Max bit rate (per client)*” by from the following.
High/Middle/Low
• Default:  Low
Note
•This setting is only available when “Advanced VBR” is selected for “Transmission priority”.
[Control time period]
Select the time period that the bit rate will be controlled for from the following. Images are transmitted so that
the average transmission rate during the selected period becomes the bit rate selected for “Max bit rate (per
client)*”.
1h/6h/24h/1week
• Default:  24h
Note
•This setting is only available when “Advanced VBR” is selected for “Transmission priority”.
[Max bit rate (per client)*]
Select a H.264 bit rate per a client from the following. When “Best effort” is selected for “Transmission
priority”, set the maximum and minimum bit rates.
64kbps/ 128kbps*/ 256kbps*/ 384kbps*/ 512kbps*/ 768kbps*/ 1024kbps*/ 1536kbps*/  2048kbps*/ 3072kbps*/

• Default:
– H.264(1): 8192kbps*
– H.264(2): 1536kbps*
* The range of bit rates that can be configured for H.264 bit rates differs depending on the “Transmission
priority” and “Image capture size”.
