Initiatives on the Use of Video Products
Thank you for choosing Hikvision products.
Technology affects every aspect of our life. As a high-tech company, we are
increasingly aware of the role technology plays in improving business efficiency and
quality of life, but at the same time, the potential harm of its improper usage. For
example, video products are capable of recording real, complete and clear images. This
provides a high value in retrospect and preserving real-time facts. However, it may also
result in the infringement of a third party's legitimate rights and interests if improper
distribution, use and/or processing of video data takes place. With the philosophy of
"Technology for the Good", Hikvision requests that every end user of video technology
and video products shall comply with all the applicable laws and regulations, as well as
ethical customs, aiming to jointly create a better community.
Please read the following initiatives carefully:
● Everyone has a reasonable expectation of privacy, and the installation of video
products should not be in conflict with this reasonable expectation. Therefore, a
warning notice shall be given in a reasonable and effective manner and clarify the
monitoring range, when installing video products in public areas. For non-public
areas, a third party's rights and interests shall be evaluated when installing video
products, including but not limited to, installing video products only after obtaining
the consent of the stakeholders, and not installing highly-invisible video products.
● The purpose of video products is to record real activities within a specific time and
space and under specific conditions. Therefore, every user shall first reasonably
define his/her own rights in such specific scope, in order to avoid infringing on a
third party's portraits, privacy or other legitimate rights.
● During the use of video products, video image data derived from real scenes will
continue to be generated, including a large amount of biological data (such as facial
images), and the data could be further applied or reprocessed. Video products
themselves could not distinguish good from bad regarding how to use the data
based solely on the images captured by the video products. The result of data usage
depends on the method and purpose of use of the data controllers. Therefore, data
controllers shall not only comply with all the applicable laws and regulations and
other normative requirements, but also respect international norms, social morality,
good morals, common practices and other non-mandatory requirements, and
respect individual privacy, portrait and other rights and interests.
● The rights, values and other demands of various stakeholders should always be
considered when processing video data that is continuously generated by video
products. In this regard, product security and data security are extremely crucial.
Therefore, every end user and data controller, shall undertake all reasonable and
necessary measures to ensure data security and avoid data leakage, improper

Network Camera User Manual
2
disclosure and improper use, including but not limited to, setting up access control,
selecting a suitable network environment (the Internet or Intranet) where video
products are connected, establishing and constantly optimizing network security.
● Video products have made great contributions to the improvement of social security
around the world, and we believe that these products will also play an active role in
more aspects of social life. Any abuse of video products in violation of human
rights or leading to criminal activities are contrary to the original intent of
technological innovation and product development. Therefore, each user shall
establish an evaluation and tracking mechanism of their product application to
ensure that every product is used in a proper and reasonable manner and with good
faith.

to reboot the system and enable the third stream.
• The main stream is usually for recording and live view with good bandwidth,
and the sub-stream can be used for live view when the bandwidth is limited.
• To enable the third stream, go to System>Maintenance>System Service>
Software and check the checkbox of Enable Third Stream to reboot the system
and enable the third stream.
3. You can customize the following parameters for the selected stream type.
Video Type:
Select the stream type to video stream, or video & audio composite stream. The
audio signal will be recorded only when the Video Type is Video & Audio.
Resolution:
Select the resolution of the video output.
Bitrate Type:
Select the bitrate type to constant or variable.
Video Quality:
When bitrate type is selected as Variable, 6 levels of video quality are selectable.
Frame Rate:
Set the frame rate. The frame rate is to describe the frequency at which the video
stream is updated and it is measured by frames per second (fps). A higher frame rate
is advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image
quality throughout.
Max. Bitrate:
Set the max. bitrate from 32 to 16384 Kbps. The higher value corresponds to the
higher video quality, but the better bandwidth is required.
Note: The maximum limit of the max. bitrate value varies according to different
camera platforms. r certain cameras, the maximum limit is 8192 Kbps or 12288 Fo
Kbps.
Video Encoding:
If the Stream Type is set to main stream, H.264 and H.265 are selectable, and if the
stream type is set to sub stream or third stream, H.264, MJPEG, and H.265 are

Network Camera User Manual
62
selectable. 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 if the bitrate type is variable.
• With H.264+/H.265+ enabled, some functions are not supported. For those
functions, corresponding interfaces will be hidden.
• H.264+/H.265+ can spontaneously adjust the bitrate distribution according the
requirements of the actual scene in order to realize the set maximum average
bitrate in the long term. The camera needs at least 24 hours to adapt to a fixed

Network Camera User Manual

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:
Basic profile, Main Profile, and High Profile for coding are selectable.
I Frame Interval:
Set I Frame Interval from 1 to 400.
SVC:
Scalable Video Coding is an extension of the H.264/AVC 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 the is,
better fluency of the stream will be, though, the video quality may not be so
satisfactory. The lower value of the smoothing , the higher quality of the stream is
will be, though it may appear not fluent.
