NOTE
Registration type The following describes the principles for connecting to the platform
in dual-server mode:
The IPC preferentially connects to the platform of the first IP address.
When the connection fails or interrupts, the IPC connects to the
platform of the second IP address. When the connection to the first
platform recovers, the IPC will connect to the first platform only after
disconnecting from the second platform.
If the third-party platform supports dual-server mode, the IPC can be
connected to the third-party platform.

Increasing the bit rate value improves the video quality but
consumes more bandwidth.
l To ensure the video quality, you must set a proper bit rate
value based on the site requirements.
l To ensure video smoothness, the actual bandwidth is greater
than the bit rate value. When the bit rate is low, the required
bandwidth is generally 1.2 times of the bit rate.
l When the total bit rate of enabled live video streams exceeds
40 Mbit/s, you are advised to reduce the bit rate or the number
of enabled video streams to prevent image freeze or artifacts
caused by large bit streams.

Bit rate control mode The parameter is available only when you set Bit rate type to
Constant bit rate. The options are as follows:
l Frame rate priority: The frame rate stability is preferentially
ensured. However, if the scenario is complex or if the object
moves quickly in an image, the actual bit rate can be greater
than the preset value.
l Image quality priority: The image quality is preferentially
ensured. However, if the scenario is complex or if the object
moves quickly in an image, frame loss may occur or live
video may not be played smoothly.

Bit rate upper limit The Bit rate upper limit parameter is available only when you
set Bit rate type to Variable bit rate.
The bit rate range is associated with the resolution.

Frame rate The frame rate is the number of frames displayed in a second.

Configuration Guide 6 Setting Video Parameters

Parameter Description

Exposure mode You can select an exposure mode based on the site
requirements. The options are as follows:
l Auto exposure (default): The camera automatically sets the
shutter speed, the aperture value and gain based on an
object's exposure value measured by the metering system.
l Shutter priority: Users manually choose a specific shutter
speed, while the camera then automatically selects an
aperture value and gain to match. This mode is used to shoot
moving objects.
l Manual exposure: Users manually set the shutter speed, and
gain when the Auto exposure cannot meet the site
requirements.

Auto aperture l If you select the check box, the aperture is automatically
adjusted. The default value is selected.
l If you deselect the check box, the fixed aperture is the
maximum aperture.
NOTE
When the auto aperture function is enabled but the aperture cannot be
fixed (resulting in flashing video image), you can disable the auto
aperture function.

Background frequency This parameter is available only when you set Exposure mode
to Auto exposure.
A flashing background environment influences the image
quality. To obtain high-resolution images, you can set the
background frequency to suit lighting conditions. Select a
proper background frequency based on the standard frequency
of the power grid. The default value is Disable.
NOTE
Disable the background frequency in natural light.

Full frame rate The camera collects the full frame rate through the sensor or
chip. The full frame rate is read-only.

Shutter speed This parameter is available only when you set Exposure mode
to Shutter priority or Manual exposure.
A larger value of this parameter indicates a longer exposure

Configuration Guide 6 Setting Video Parameters

Parameter Description

WDR This parameter is available only when you set Exposure mode
to Auto exposure and Backlight/WDR/light suppression to
WDR.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is intended to provide clear
images when there are very bright and very dark areas
simultaneously in the camera's field of view.
l Auto: The exposure ratio is automatically adjusted to
prevent the too bright background or too dark foreground.
l Manual: The exposure ratio is manually adjusted to prevent
the too bright background or too dark foreground.

Compensation This parameter is available only when you set Backlight/WDR/


coefficient light suppression to Backlight compensation
This function is used to correct the exposure of objects in front
of a bright light source, a larger backlight compensation factor
indicates more powerful backlight compensation. However, a
too large factor will lead to overexposure. You can adjust the
backlight compensation factor based on the site requirements.

Auto slow shutter This parameter is available only when you set Exposure mode
to Auto exposure.
Slow shutter extends the duration from the moment the shutter
opens to the moment it closes. More time is available for
movement in the subject to be recorded by the camera. The
default value is Disable.

Shutter limit This parameter is available only when you set Exposure mode
to Auto exposure.
This function is mainly used to ensure that the shutter speed is
greater than or equal to the minimum value.

Gain limit This parameter is available only when you set Exposure mode
to Auto exposure or Shutter priority.
The gain limit function is used to restrict the upper limit of the
Automatic Gain Control (AGC).
l In the case of low illumination conditions, the AGC can be
enhanced to improve image brightness. However, a high
level of AGC will increase the image noise and degrade the
image quality. Set this parameter based on the site
requirements.
l When Metering mode is set to Auto metering in infrared
light conditions, over-exposure will occur on the area with
light in the foreground. By setting this parameter, this
phenomenon can be eased.

Gain This parameter is available only when you set Exposure mode
to Manual exposure. The default value is 0.

About This Chapter

This section describes how to set behavior analysis parameters and video block detection of
intelligent analysis.

NOTE
The device does not support intelligent analysis during lens zooming.

9.1 Configuring the Intrusion Detection Function


The intrusion detection function checks whether an object enters a sensitive area (a key
surveillance area for which behavior analysis rules have been configured). The system
generates an alarm when an object enters a sensitive area.
9.2 Configuring the Loitering Detection Function
The loitering detection function checks whether an object loiters in a sensitive area for a time
period longer than a specified duration. The system generates an alarm when a loitering object
is detected.
9.3 Configuring the Abandoned Object Detection Function
The abandoned object detection function checks a sensitive area for objects that have been
abandoned for 5 seconds or longer. The system generates an alarm when an abandoned object
is detected.
9.4 Configuring the Removed Object Detection Function
The removed object detection function checks whether an object is removed from a sensitive
area. The system generates an alarm when an object is removed.
9.5 Configuring the Tripwire Detection Function

9.1 Configuring the Intrusion Detection Function


The intrusion detection function checks whether an object enters a sensitive area (a key
surveillance area for which behavior analysis rules have been configured). The system
generates an alarm when an object enters a sensitive area.

Prerequisites
Predefined sensitive areas for behavior analysis can be displayed on live video images only
when Video stream type is set to Hybrid stream. To set Video stream type, choose Settings
> System Configuration > Local Parameters.

Context
l Ensure that the camera lens is not blocked by objects, for example, leaves and columns,
to effectively and continuously track the object. Do not directly place the camera lens
opposite to a light source, water surface, or reflection plane, to prevent interference or
false alarms.
l Before configuring the intelligent analysis function, ensure that the camera lens is
focused accurately, video images are clear, and light conditions are proper. If the
illuminance is lower than 20 lux, or video images are not clear with much noise, set
artificial light sources for light compensation to ensure even and proper light.
l During the intelligent analysis test, the angle between the horizontal view angle of the
camera (that is, the optic normal of the camera lens) and the level ground or plane of the
monitoring object (for example, wall), must be greater than 15 degrees (reference: 30
degrees to 45 degrees) to ensure that the top of the monitoring object is covered.
l The camera installation height must be determined based on the site requirements
(reference: 5 m to 6 m for tilted installation and 3 m to 5 m for vertical installation). A
proper installation height can ensure that the object size displayed in video images is
greater than the minimum object size and less than the maximum object size. It is
recommended that the object size be 1/8 to 1/3 of the image size.
l It is recommended that Frame rate be set to 10 or higher on Settings > Channel
Configuration > Video&Stream Parameters to prevent impact on the behavior
analysis effect, for example, the object box is lost, the object box does not match the
object size, or all object boxes are displayed with delay.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Settings > Intelligent Analysis > Behavior Analysis Parameters.
The Behavior Analysis Parameters page is displayed, as shown in Figure 9-1.

Parameter Description

Shadow removed mode Indicates the mode in which the shadow


is removed. The shadow generated when
objects are moving affects the detection
size. Set this parameter based on the site
requirements.
NOTE
– The parameter can be set to low, medium,
and high. You can set the parameter based
on the shadow strength.
– In a scenario with no shadow or small
shadows, Weak shadow is recommended
to ensure complete detection of objects.
– In a scenario with large shadows, Strong
shadow is recommended to cut objects
from shadows to make bounding
rectangles closer to the object sizes or cut
objects with shadows between to
separately display the objects.

Detection sensitivity Indicates the sensitivity in which an


object can be detected.A higher
sensitivity indicates a higher
identification rate but also a higher false
alarm rate and more device performance
occupied.
NOTE
– The parameter can be set to low, medium,
and high. You can set the parameter based
on the site requirements.
– When there are many obstacles such as
lamplight and rustling leaves, Low is
recommended to prevent false alarms.
– When the foreground and background are
of the similar color, High is
recommended.

Background update rate Indicates the speed of integrating an


object into the background. A large value
indicates quicker object integration.
NOTE
– The parameter can be set to low, medium,
and high. You can set the parameter based
on the site requirements.
– If the moving speed of an object is slow
and the background is clean, you are
advised to set this parameter to low.
Otherwise, the object may quickly
integrate the background, which is inferior
to foreground extraction.
– If the moving speed of an object is quick
and there is no external interference, you
are advised to set this parameter to high.

Context
l Ensure that the camera lens is not blocked by objects, for example, leaves and columns,
to effectively and continuously track the object. Do not directly place the camera lens
opposite to a light source, water surface, or reflection plane, to prevent interference or
false alarms.
l Before configuring the intelligent analysis function, ensure that the camera lens is
focused accurately, video images are clear, and light conditions are proper. If the
illuminance is lower than 20 lux, or video images are not clear with much noise, set
artificial light sources for light compensation to ensure even and proper light.
l During the intelligent analysis test, the angle between the horizontal view angle of the
camera (that is, the optic normal of the camera lens) and the level ground or plane of the
monitoring object (for example, wall), must be greater than 15 degrees (reference: 30
degrees to 45 degrees) to ensure that the top of the monitoring object is covered.
l The camera installation height must be determined based on the site requirements
(reference: 5 m to 6 m for tilted installation and 3 m to 5 m for vertical installation). A
proper installation height can ensure that the object size displayed in video images is
greater than the minimum object size and less than the maximum object size. It is
recommended that the object size be 1/8 to 1/3 of the image size.
l It is recommended that Frame rate be set to 10 or higher on Settings > Channel
Configuration > Video&Stream Parameters to prevent impact on the behavior
analysis effect, for example, the object box is lost, the object box does not match the
object size, or all object boxes are displayed with delay.

Parameter Description

Shadow removed mode Indicates the mode in which the shadow


is removed. The shadow generated when
objects are moving affects the detection
size. Set this parameter based on the site
requirements.
NOTE
– The parameter can be set to low, medium,
and high. You can set the parameter based
on the shadow strength.
– In a scenario with no shadow or small
shadows, Weak shadow is recommended
to ensure complete detection of objects.
– In a scenario with large shadows, Strong
shadow is recommended to cut objects
from shadows to make bounding
rectangles closer to the object sizes or cut
objects with shadows between to
separately display the objects.

Detection sensitivity Indicates the sensitivity in which an


object can be detected.A higher
sensitivity indicates a higher
identification rate but also a higher false
alarm rate and more device performance
occupied.
NOTE
– The parameter can be set to low, medium,
and high. You can set the parameter based
on the site requirements.
– When there are many obstacles such as
lamplight and rustling leaves, Low is
recommended to prevent false alarms.
– When the foreground and background are
of the similar color, High is
recommended.

Background update rate Indicates the speed of integrating an


object into the background. A large value
indicates quicker object integration.
NOTE
– The parameter can be set to low, medium,
and high. You can set the parameter based
on the site requirements.
– If the moving speed of an object is slow
and the background is clean, you are
advised to set this parameter to low.
Otherwise, the object may quickly
integrate the background, which is inferior
to foreground extraction.
– If the moving speed of an object is quick
and there is no external interference, you
are advised to set this parameter to high.

9.5 Configuring the Tripwire Detection Function


The tripwire detection function checks whether a person or an object crosses a specified
tripwire in a specified direction. The system generates an alarm when a person or an object
crosses the tripwire.

Prerequisites
Predefined sensitive areas for behavior analysis can be displayed on live video images only
when Video stream type is set to Hybrid stream. To set Video stream type, choose Settings
> System Configuration > Local Parameters.

Context
l Ensure that the camera lens is not blocked by objects, for example, leaves and columns,
to effectively and continuously track the object. Do not directly place the camera lens
opposite to a light source, water surface, or reflection plane, to prevent interference or
false alarms.
l Before configuring the intelligent analysis function, ensure that the camera lens is
focused accurately, video images are clear, and light conditions are proper. If the
illuminance is lower than 20 lux, or video images are not clear with much noise, set
artificial light sources for light compensation to ensure even and proper light.
l During the intelligent analysis test, the angle between the horizontal view angle of the
camera (that is, the optic normal of the camera lens) and the level ground or plane of the
monitoring object (for example, wall), must be greater than 15 degrees (reference: 30
degrees to 45 degrees) to ensure that the top of the monitoring object is covered.
l The camera installation height must be determined based on the site requirements
(reference: 5 m to 6 m for tilted installation and 3 m to 5 m for vertical installation). A
proper installation height can ensure that the object size displayed in video images is
greater than the minimum object size and less than the maximum object size. It is
recommended that the object size be 1/8 to 1/3 of the image size.
l It is recommended that Frame rate be set to 10 or higher on Settings > Channel
Configuration > Video&Stream Parameters to prevent impact on the behavior
analysis effect, for example, the object box is lost, the object box does not match the
object size, or all object boxes are displayed with delay.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Settings > Intelligent Analysis > Behavior Analysis Parameters.

Configuration Guide 15 Appendix

Possible Cause
With a high frame rate (50 or 60 fps), high bit rate value (for example, 8 Mbit/s), and a small
MTU value (for example, 1200), multiple or all of the following functions are used at the
same time: video recording, video capturing, super error concealment (SEC), tour track, and
behavior Analysis . This increases the system load and occupies much CPU performance.

Solution
Modify the frame rate, bit rte value, or MTU value. Alternatively, you can disable some of the

file,configuration file and 802.1x configuration file using HTTP. The message
"Uploading...Do not perform any other operations" is always displayed.

Possible Cause
When you log in to an IPC using a non-Internet Explorer browser, transmission of sensitive
information is processed in an HTTPS pop-up window. This window is implemented based on
browser compatibility. The Firefox browser block pop-up windows by default.

the web live video preview page is unstable and fluctuates around 20, for example, 18, 19, 20,
or 21.

Possible Cause
The frame rate displayed on the web live video preview page is the frame rate of rendering
video instead of the actual encoding frame rate. This frame rate is counted every 2 seconds. In
non-full frame rate mode (20 or lower), the frame rate of the video play control may slightly
fluctuate due to the network delay or jitter in the rendering period. However, this fluctuation
does not affect the actual video frame rate.
