 Prefix—Prefix of the JPEG filename  Date format—Date format string for the JPEG filename 
 Postfix—Postfix of the JPEG filename 
 Auto FTP sent—Constantly send JPEG snapshot within FTP dwell time.  FTP sent time—Schedule FTP snapshot at specific time 
 
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.  
 
 
 
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.       
Note: DDNS feature requires Internet connection.

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.  
						

							 24 
 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 
Weighted 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.

							  25  To  setup  Exposure  Control,  Automatic  Ga
in  Control,  White  Balance  Control, 
please  adjust the value  accordingly.    
To increase, the sensitivity at nights, please adjust Sense Up feature.    Exposure Value:  Adjust the value of the image exposure  
   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   
   White 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 mot ion blur at 
night.  
   3D Noise Reduction: Reduce noise at night.  
   Sense-Up: Slow shutter feature for increasing CMOS sensitivity at 
night.

No Sense-Up 3 Frame Sense-Up 
  
 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. 
 
To enable ROI feature, please first select “Enable ROI”.    Click on Zoom Out or In button to get best-fit video area.

Chapter 3-6 IR Cut Removable 
IR Cut removable allows to schedule IR activation by (1) auto, (2) day, (3) night, or (4) schedule.  When 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. When 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).
