Easy Wi-Fi Connecon with WPS funcon
Purpose:
The setng of the wireless network connecon is never easy. To avoid the complex
seng of the wireless connecon you can enable the WPS funcon.
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) refers to the easy conguraon of the encrypted
connecon between the device and the wireless router. The WPS makes it easy to
add new devices to an exisng network without entering long passphrases. There are
two modes of the WPS connecon, the PBC mode and the PIN mode.
Note: If you enable the WPS funcon, you do not need to congure the parameters
such as the encrypon type and you do not need to know the key of the wireless
connecon.
Steps:

PBC refers to the Push-Button-Conguraon, in which the user simply has to push a
button, either an actual or virtual one (as the buon on the
conguraon interface of the IE browser), on both the Access Point (and a registrar
of the network) and the new wireless client device.
1. Check the checkbox of to enable WPS.
2. Choose the connecon mode as PBC.
Note: Support of this mode is mandatory for both the Access Points and the
connecng devices.
3. Check on the Wi-Fi router to see if there is a WPS buon. If yes, push the buon
and you can see the indicator near the buon start ashing, which means the WPS
funcon of the router is enabled. For detailed operaon, please see the user guide of
the router.
4. Push the WPS buon to enable the funcon on the camera.
If there is not a WPS buon on the camera, you can also click the virtual buon to
enable the PBC funcon on the web interface.
5. Click Connect buon.
When the PBC mode is both enabled in the router and the camera, the camera and
the wireless network is connected automacally.
PIN Mode:
The PIN mode requires a Personal Idencaon Number (PIN) to be read from either
a scker or the display on the new wireless device. This PIN must then be entered to
connect the network, usually the Access Point of the network.
Steps:
1. Choose a wireless connecon on the list and the SSID is loaded automacally.
2. Choose Use route PIN code.

to set the parameters.
4. Select the mode of smooth streaming. There are three modes selectable: Auto,
Resolution Priority Error Correctio, and n.
Auto: The resolution and bitrate will be adjusted automatically and resolution will
take the priority, the upper limits of these two parameters will not exceed the
values you set on Video page. Go to Configuration > Video/Audio > Video page,
set the Resolution and Max. Bitrate before you enable smooth streaming function.
And in this mode, the framerate will be adjusted automatically to max. value.
Resolution Priority: The resolution stays the same as the set value in Vid
eo page, and the bitrate will be adjusted automatically. Go to Configurati
on > Video/Audio > Video page, set the Max. Bitrate before you enable
smooth streaming function. And in this mode the framerate will be adjust
ed automatically to max. value.
Error Correction: The resolution and bitrate stay the same as the set values in
Video page. When the bandwidth is sufficient, there is packet loss or bit error
during transmission and these situations will lead to the video data error or loss.
This mode is used to correct the data error during transmission. You can configure
the error correction proportion within range of 0-100. When the proportion is 0,
the data error will be corrected by data retransmission. When the proportion is
higher than 0, the error data will be corrected via redundant data that is added to
the stream and data retransmission. The higher the value is, the more redundant
date will be generated, the more data error will be corrected, and the larger
bandwidth is required. When the proportion is 100, the redundant data will be as
large as the original data, and the bandwidth is twice required.
Note: Be sure the bandwidth is sufficient in Error Correction mode.

and MPEG4. Supported encoding type for different stream types may differ. H.265
is a new encoding technology. Compared with H.264, it reduces the transmission
bitrate under the same resolution, frame rate and image quality.
Note: Selectable video encoding types may vary according to different camera
modes.
H.264+ and H.265+:
H.264+: If you set the main stream as the stream type, and H.264 as the video
encoding, you can see H.264+ available. H.264+ is an improved compression
coding technology based on H.264. By enabling H.264+, users can estimate the
HDD consumption by its maximum average bitrate. Compared to H.264,
H.264+ reduces storage by up to 50% with the same maximum bitrate in most
scenes.
H.265+: If you set the main stream as the stream type, and H.265 as the video
encoding, you can see H.265+ available. H.265+ is an improved compression
coding technology based on H.265. By enabling H.265+, users can estimate the
HDD consumption by its maximum average bitrate. Compared to H.265,
H.265+ reduces storage by up to 50% with the same maximum bitrate in most
scenes.
You need to reboot the camera if you want to turn on or turn off the H.264+/H.265+.
If you switch from H.264+ to H.265+ directly, and vice versa, a reboot is not required
by the system.
Notes:
Upgrade your video player to the latest version if live view or playback does not
work properly due to compatibility.
With H.264+/H.265+ enabled, the parameters such as profile, I frame interval,
video quality, and SVC are greyed out.
With H.264+/H.265+ enabled, some functions are not supported. For those

monitoring scene.
Max. Average Bitrate:
When you set a maximum bitrate, its corresponding recommended maximum
average bitrate will be shown in the Max. Average Bitrate box. You can also set the
maximum average bitrate manually from 32 Kbps to the value of the set maximum
bitrate.
Profile:
When you select H.264 or H.265 as video encoding, you can set the profile.
Selectable profiles vary according to camera models.
I Frame Interval:
Set I Frame Interval from 1 to 400.
SVC:
Scalable Video Coding is an extension of the H.264/AVC and H.265 standard. Select
OFF/ON to disable/enable the SVC function. Select Auto and the device will
automatically extract frames from the original video when the network bandwidth
is insufficient.
Smoothing:
It refers to the smoothness of the stream. The higher value of the smoothing is, the
better fluency of the stream will be, though, the video quality may not be so
satisfactory. The lower value of the smoothing is, the higher quality of the stream
will be, though it may appear not fluent.
