split the screen to show videos from multiple cameras. To switch the display from one camera
to another, you can either manually select a camera, or have the system automatically display
videos from all cameras in a rotating manner.
7. How are video images stored?
Video images are compressed into MJPEG or MPEG4 format, and then stored on your
computer hard disk or a designated network storage device.
8. Can we change the FPS (frame per second) rate of a camera?
FPS is the number of image frames that a camera shoots in a video operation. In the MJPEG
format, you can set the FPS rate according to your requirement. Note that the FPS rate that
you set cannot exceed the maximum FPS rate of your camera. However, in the MPEG4 format,
you cannot set any FPS rate for the camera. For details, please refer to your User’s Manual
section C8.1.
9. What frame sizes does D-Link D-ViewCam use?
For MJPEG, frames are approximately 14 to 15KB each, but the frame size is dependent on
your camera’s specifications and image feed of your computer.
10. How do I estimate an adequate disk space to store the recorded video?
The Disk Space required will come out from these two formulas: (1) Frame Size x Frame per
Second x Total Second, or (2) Bit rate x Total second.
Take MPEG4 model for example, which inclides:DCS-2000, DCS-2100+,2100+, DCS-2100G,
5300, 5300W, 5300G, 3220, 3220G, 6220, 6220G:
1week storage for camera with Medium Quality(25 Kbytes)in 30 FPS= 4.5G Bytes/camera
1 week storage for camera with bit rate by 64kbps = 4.8 G Bytes/camera
The data revealed here is only for reference. The real recording capacity depends on the view
and environment.
11. Does D-Link D-ViewCam support cameras that have motion detection capability?
Yes. Motion detection capability varies according to the number of connected cameras and the
complexity of the tasks performed. Normally, you can have up to two motion detections. If your
computer is equipped a powerful processor, it’s possible to have more motion detections.
12. How does the alarm management operate?
D-Link D-ViewCam can receive input from Motion Detection or the Sensor (DI, or Device Input),
determine if an alarm event has occurred. And then send signals to trigger DO (Device Output),
video recording, live video or e-mail notification.
