Conguring the Unit

Using the Unit with Secure Closed IPTV

1) Connect the camera to a Closed IP Network switch using Cat5 network cable. The POE version

of this camera will work with the DM/NSW/CPP model switch. The non POE version of the

switch works with the DM/NSW/CP model switch. The POE version will also work with DM/

NSW/CP model switch if connected to a POE injector and separate power supply.

2) Ensure that the Closed IP NVR or Console that the switch is connected to is in Conguration

mode to allow new cameras connect.

3) Power up the camera and wait for the on-screen acknowledgement on the monitor attached

to the Closed IP NVR or Console. Alternatively check the Camera Overview web page on the

Closed IP NVR or Console to determine out the camera status.

4) Once the camera has been detected and added, remember to secure the switch by moving out

of Conguration mode, failure to do this will leave the Closed IPTV system unsecured.

Locating the Unit IP address on general networks (non Closed IP)

The unit is congured using on-board webpages. This can be done remotely once the unit has been installed

in its chosen location, using the web browser on a PC in the same subnet as the unit.

The unit web pages can be accessed using the unit IP address or DNS name. The unit has DHCP factory

enabled. When the unit is connected to a DHCP network for the rst time, an IP address is automatically

assigned by the network switch or router it is connected to. Most routers will have the facility to enable

DHCP and DNS, if it is not available, contact your network administrator.

The default DNS address for each unit is factory set as the serial number. This address can be found on the

serial label on the unit or via the packaging the unit came in.

If DHCP and DNS are not available, the IP address can be found by connecting an analogue monitor to

the BNC connection of the camera. The unit IP address is displayed on the analogue video output for 10

minutes from powering the unit on.

The DNS or IP address can be typed directly into the address bar of a web browser.

Note: If subsequently the unit is assigned a xed IP address, its DNS address can no longer

be used

Note: The unit’s DNS address can be changed subsequently to something more memorable

or meaningful than its serial number by editing the System name option in the System

conguration page.

12

CamVu Mini Dome

Zero_conf conguration

If a permanent IP address is not assigned to the unit, it will attempt to contact the DHCP server every

time it starts up, and periodically thereafter. The unit support zero-conguration networking (sometimes

known as Bonjour), this enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks.

Zero-conguration uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each

other without the need to enter IP addresses or congure DNS servers. By loading a suitable free add-on

to your web browser such as Bonjour for Windows for Internet Explorer or BonjourFoxy for FireFox zero

conguration devices such as this unit can easily be discovered and accessed.

Accessing the Conguration Web Pages

The unit is congured using the on-board web pages. To access these:

1. Launch a web browser, preferably on a PC on the same subnet as the unit.

6.12

2. Type the IP address (or DNS name if there is no xed IP address) of the

unit into the address bar.

3. If prompted, enter a username and password. The default settings are;

username:dm and password:web.

4. The Main Menu page will be displayed.

6.13

The conguration menus are accessible via the link on the left hand side of the page.

CAMERA SETTINGS (HYPERD VERSIONS ONLY)

To assist with the set up process, live video can be seen using the dome’s viewer web pages. Alternatively

an analogue service monitor can be attached to the dome test point using an DM/ICED-SERV service

connector (available separately).

Note: The analogue output is only active for 10 minutes after power up.

Entering the Menu

The two buttons marked A and B that are situated below the camera lens are used to set the camera. Press

these buttons to access and navigate the on screen menu as follows:

• To access the menu system, press A momentarily.

• To cycle through the menu items, press A repeatedly.

• To change the setting in the selected menu item or go to a supplementary menu page, press B.

• To save your settings, select Save and Exit and press B. Note that settings will be saved when

the menu times out.

Adjusting the Picture Settings

In most situations, the default settings give good quality results. However, in specic circumstances, the

following adjustments may improve performance.

14

CamVu Mini Dome

Use the direction buttons to navigate the menu, and to select parameters.

Exiting the Menu System

The menu system can be exited by selecting SAVE AND EXIT with the up/down menu buttons and then

pressing the Enter button. Any changes made while within the menu system will be saved. The menu system

will be automatically exited if a key is not pressed for 2 minutes.

Exposure

Hi is intended for general usage including brightly lit outdoor scenes and indoor scenes which contain a view

outdoors. It maintains optimum contrast in the darker portions of a wide dynamic scene.

Lo(w) may be used for indoor scenes, where the contrast between the brightest and darkest parts of the

picture is low. It maintains optimum contrast in the brighter portions of a wide dynamic scene.

AGC

This affects the way in which the camera displays scenes with lower illumination levels.

DnR gives the optimum performance for stationary or slow moving objects. DnR is a Digital Noise Reduction

system that reduce AGC noise by means of a eld integration algorithm. A consequence of DNR is that

moving objects can appear blurred at very low light levels. This setting has a maximum gain of 24dB.

Motion provides a clear image of moving objects but may introduce noise into the darker parts of the picture.

This setting does not use DNR at high gain. The images are sharper than DNR but the visible gain in the

image is greater. This setting has a maximum gain of 24dB.

Low is less sensitive at low light levels and provides a relatively noise free picture. Setting the AGC to LOW

reduces the camera’s performance at low light, but improves image quality in bright conditions. This is the

preferred setting for well-lit scenes. This setting limits the gain to 7dB.

White Balance Range

With some street lighting, for example sodium or mercury lamps, the camera may show an overall colour

hue instead of white. In these situations, setting the White Balance Range to Wide corrects the white

balance.

PRO (default)

This setting limits the white balance range to 2800 - 6500K. This provides a more accurate colour rendition.

WIDE

This setting extends the white balance range to 2500 - 9500K

Video Output Colour/Mono Mode

The video output is set to Colour by default. Set it to Mono for video output in monochrome or to C/M for

colour in normal light and monochrome in low light.

Fluorescent Lighting

Under some types of uorescent lighting, the colour may cycle. Set Fluorescent to On to help reduce this.

Alternatively, line-lock may reduce this problem (see Using AC Line Lock below).

ON

Reduces colour rolling that may occur under some types of uorescent lighting. For best results, line lock

synchronisation is recommended. If line lock synchronisation is not possible, an auto-iris lens should be

used.

OFF (default)

The default setting maximises dynamic range

15

Day/Night

This switch sets the light level at which the camera automatically switches between day and night operation.

Hi sets the camera to switch between day and night mode at higher light level. Lo sets the switching point at

a lower light level. The default setting is Lo.

When in Night mode, the IR cut lter is removed allowing infra red illumination to be used.

Colour Burst

The Colour Burst (CB) switch allows the colour burst component of the signal to be turned on or off.

When a day/night camera switches to night (mono) mode, the colour burst can be switched OFF for a true

monochrome signal. Note that some multiplexers/recorders detect video-loss if the colour burst signal

disappears. If problems are encountered with the multiplexer/recorder when the camera switches to mono,

try setting CB to ON. Default is CB OFF.

Lens Level

Adjust the lens iris level according to the lighting conditions.

1 Turn the Automatic Gain Control switch OFF

2 Adjust the Lens Level potentiometer so that a 1 V peak-to-peak signal is
