Encoder ProfileProfiles are rather complex and include a number of parametersthat interact with one another, so it is generally best to use thepre-defined profiles. Only change a profile if completely familiarwith all the configuration options.

Pre-defined profilesEight definable profiles are available. The pre-defined profilesgive priority to different parameters.– Profile 1

High resolution for high bandwidth connections– Profile 2

High resolution with lower data rate– Profile 3

High resolution for low bandwidth connections– Profile 4

Standard resolution for high bandwidth connections– Profile 5

Standard resolution with lower data rate– Profile 6

Standard resolution for low bandwidth connections– Profile 7

Standard resolution for DSL connections– Profile 8

Low resolution for mobile phone connections

Changing a profileThe pre-defined profiles can be changed (a pre-defined profilecan always be recalled by using the Default button). To change a profile, select it by clicking its tab, then change theparameters within that profile.If a setting outside the permitted range for a parameter isentered, the nearest valid value is substituted when the settingsare saved.

Profile nameIf required, enter a new name for the profile.

Target bit rateTo optimize use of the bandwidth in the network, limit the datarate for the device. The target data rate should be set accordingto the desired picture quality for typical scenes with noexcessive motion.For complex images or frequent changes of image content dueto frequent movements, this limit can temporarily be exceededup to the value entered in the Maximum bit rate field.

Maximum bit rateThis maximum data rate is not exceeded under anycircumstances. Depending on the video quality settings for the I-frames and P-frames, this can result in individual images beingskipped.The value entered here must be at least 10% higher than thevalue entered in the Target bit rate field. If the value enteredhere is too low, it is automatically adjusted.

Encoding intervalThe Encoding interval slider determines the interval at whichimages are encoded and transmitted. This can be particularlyadvantageous with low bandwidths. The image rate in ips(images per second) is displayed next to the slider.

Expert SettingsIf necessary, use the expert settings to adapt the I-frame qualityand the P-frame quality to specific requirements. The setting isbased on the H.264 quantization parameter (QP).

GOP structureSelect the structure you require for the Group of Pictures(GOP). Depending on whether you place greater priority onhaving the lowest possible delay (IP frames only) or using aslittle bandwidth possible, you choose IP, IBP or IBBP. (GOP isnot available for megapixel cameras.)

Averaging periodSelect the appropriate averaging period as a means of stabilizingthe long term bit rate.

I-frame distanceUse the slider to set the distance between I-frames to Auto or tobetween 3 and 60. An entry of 3 means that every third image isan I-frame.The lower the number, the more I-frames aregenerated.

Min. P-frame QPIn the H.264-protocol, the Quantization Parameter (QP)specifies the degree of compression and thus the image qualityfor every frame. The lower the QP value, the higher the encodingquality. A higher quality produces a higher data load. Typical QPvalues are between 18 and 30. Define the lower limit for thequantization of the P-frames here, and thus the maximumachievable quality of the P-frames.

I/P-frame delta QPThis parameter sets the ratio of the I-frame QP to the P-frameQP. For example, you can set a lower value for I-frames bymoving the slide control to a negative value. Thus, the quality ofthe I-frames relative to the P-frames is improved. The total dataload will increase, but only by the portion of I-frames.

8.1.8




To obtain the highest quality at the lowest bandwidth, even inthe case of increased movement in the picture, configure thequality settings as follows:1. Observe the coverage area during normal movement in the

preview images.2. Set the value for Min. P-frame QP to the highest value at

which the image quality still meets your needs.3. Set the value for I/P-frame delta QP to the lowest possible

value. This is how to save bandwidth and memory in normalscenes. The image quality is retained even in the case ofincreased movement since the bandwidth is then filled upto the value that is entered under Maximum bit rate.

RecordingImages can be recorded to an appropriately configured iSCSIsystem or, for cameras with an SD slot, locally to an SD card. SD cards are the ideal solution for shorter storage times andtemporary recordings. They can be used for local alarmrecording or to improve the overall reliability of video recording.For long-term authoritative images use an appropriately sizediSCSI system. Two recording tracks are available (Recording 1 and Recording2). The encoder streams and profiles can be selected for each ofthese tracks for both standard and alarm recordings.Ten recording profiles are available where these recordingtracks can be defined differently. These profiles are then usedfor building schedules. A Video Recording Manager (VRM) can control all recordingwhen accessing an iSCSI system. The VRM is an externalprogram for configuring recording tasks for video servers. Forfurther information, contact your local customer service atBosch Security Systems.

Video Content Analyses (VCA)The camera has integrated Video Content Analyses (VCA) whichdetects and analyzes changes in the picture using imageprocessing algorithms. Such changes can be due to movementsin the camera's field of view. Detection of movement can beused to trigger an alarm and to transmit metadata. Various VCA configurations can be selected and adapted to yourapplication, as required. Refer to Setting up VCA, page 78 for more information onsetting up video content analyses.

Note:If there is not enough computing power, priority is given to liveimages and recordings. This can lead to impairment of the VCAsystem. Observe the processor load and optimize the encodersettings or the VCA settings if necessary, or turn off VCAcompletely.

and enter the new profile name in the field.2. Click the icon again. The new profile name is saved. The current alarm status is displayed for information purposes.

Aggregation time [s]Set an aggregation time of between 0 and 20 seconds. Theaggregation time always starts when an alarm event occurs. Itextends the alarm event by the value set. This prevents alarmevents that occur in quick succession from triggering severalalarms and successive events in a rapid sequence. No furtheralarm is triggered during the aggregation time.The post-alarm time set for alarm recordings only starts oncethe aggregation time has expired.

Analysis typeSelect the required analysis algorithm. Motion+ offers a motiondetector and essential recognition of tampering.Metadata is always created for a video content analysis, unlessthis is explicitly excluded. Depending on the analysis typeselected and the relevant configuration, additional informationoverlays the video image in the preview window next to theparameter settings.

Note:For suitable devices, additional analysis algorithms withcomprehensive functions, such as IVMD and IVA, are alsoavailable. Refer to the IVA documentation for more informationon using these.

Motion detectorMotion detection is available for the Motion+ analysis type. Forthe detector to function, the following conditions must be met:– Analysis must be activated.– At least one sensor field must be activated.– The individual parameters must be configured to suit the

operating environment and the desired responses.– The sensitivity must be set to a value greater than zero.

Note:Reflections of light (from glass surfaces, etc.), lights switchingon and off, or changes in the light level caused by cloudmovement on a sunny day can trigger unintended responsesfrom the motion detector and generate false alarms. Run aseries of tests at different times of the day and night to ensurethat the video sensor is operating as intended. For indoorsurveillance, ensure constant lighting of the areas during the dayand at night.

SensitivitySensitivity is available for the Motion+ analysis type. The basicsensitivity of the motion detector can be adjusted for theenvironmental conditions to which the camera is subject. Thesensor reacts to variations in the brightness of the video image.The darker the observation area, the higher the value that mustbe selected.
