Streaming Settings Window
The Streaming Settings window provides options for configuring audio and video streams from the IP
camera. You can configure settings for the primary and an optional secondary video stream.
Configuring a secondary stream is useful for providing a video stream that is at a lower resolution than
the primary stream to third-party devices or software.
The primary stream supports H.264 for video and G.711 A-law, G.711 u-law, and AAC for audio. The
secondary stream supports MJPEG for video and does not support audio.
When configuring video streams, be aware of the following guidelines:
• You cannot configure a secondary stream (channel 2) if you configure the resolution for the primary
stream (channel 1) to 1920 x 1080
• You cannot configure the resolution for the primary stream to 1920 x 1080 if a secondary stream is
enabled
• The resolution of the primary stream must be higher than the resolution of the secondary stream
• You cannot configure a maximum frame rate of 60 for the primary stream if the secondary stream is
enabled.
• Multiple secondary frame rates are now supported for MJPEG. Table 3-1 shows the frame rate
combinations of primary (H.264) and secondary (MJPEG) streams. If a secondary frame rate that is
not shown in this table is selected in Cisco Video Surveillance Manager, the IP camera uses the
closest available frame rate.
To display the Streaming Settings window, access the configuration windows as described in the
“Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera” section on page 2-5, click Feature Setup, then click
Streaming.
