Network
All network-related settings can be defined here.
Device Name
Enter a device name for the camera.
The camera shows up in your
network under this name. The name
also shows up in your DHCP Server
log, should you decide to set the
Network Address to "Dynamic IP
Address" (see below).
Network Address
The IP address of the camera can
be set automatically via DHCP (the
camera receives its IP Address
information from a DHCP Server in
your network; e.g.,, a router), or you
can set up the IP information
manually. Setting up the IP Address
manually requires knowledge about
TCP/IP networks.
IP, Subnet mask, Gateway
Configuration
If you are using a fixed IP address,
you must also enter the correct
subnet mask and default gateway.
(If you have trouble configuring
network system information, ask
your network administrator.)
DNS Configuration
DNS (Domain Name Service) provides the translation of host names of IP addresses on your network.
Primary DNSType in the IP address of the primary DNS server.
Secondary DNS – Type in the IP address of the secondary DNS server (optional).
Web, Video, Upgrade and PTZ Server Port Configuration
Type the port number for each server port within a limit. Normally it is not necessary to make any changes
to the port settings.
Service Configuration – The camera can send you an e-mail whenever the IP Address of the camera
changes (e.g.,, you have set up a dynamic IP Address for the camera). Click on "Settings …" to open a
window which lets you specify the e-mail address.
In order to use this function, the SMTP Server
needs to be set up first. Refer to the chapter "Event
Config / Event Server". If you use a domain name as
the SMTP Server — e.g., smtp.mydomain.com — you
also need to setup correct DNS Servers (see above). If
the server is entered with the IP Address only, no DNS
Servers are required.
14
Dynamic DNS
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides you with one public IP address. The address
you get may be static, meaning it never changes, or dynamic, meaning it’s likely to change
periodically. Just how often it changes, depends on your ISP. If your IP Address changes
periodically, you want to use the DDNS Service (free service offered a www.dyndns.org) to
obtain a static address for your dynamic IP.
Use this page to configure Dynamic DNS settings.
Service Use
Check "Enable" when you use Dynamic DNS server.
IP, Subnet mask, Gateway Configuration
Dynamic DNS URL – Type the IP address or URL (leave www.dyndns.org).
ID & Password: Type in your DYNDNS User ID and password. Those are the same values you need to
enter when logging in to your personal account on dyndns.org.
Camera URL: Type in the dynamic DNS host address you have registered; e.g., mycamera.dyndns.org.
Status: The camera displays the status of the DYNDNS update.
Click “Save” to save the settings.
15
Date and Time
Current Camera Time
Displays current date and time information based on the settings below.
Time Configuration
(x) Set Manually
You can enter yyyy-mm-dd (year-month-day) for date and hh:mm:ss (hours:minutes:seconds) for time.
Manual time configuration is required if the camera is unable to make a connection to an NTP server,
perhaps because the camera has no access to the Internet and no local NTP Server is present.
(x) Automatically synchronized with NTP server.
Synchronizes the camera's time with that of the NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. This is the
recommended setting, as it makes sure that the time of the camera is always current.
NTP server
Type the host name or IP address of the NTP server, up to 20 characters. A list of free NTP Servers can be
found at http://www.ntp.org.
Time Zone
Select the time zone which best represents the location of the camera.
Adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time
Enter the start day and end day of Daylight Saving Time if desired.
Click on the "Save" button to submit the settings to the camera.
16
Video
All video-related settings can be configured on the page below.
Dual Mode Streaming
When this is activated, the camera will send out MPEG4 video and Motion-JPEG video at the same time.
This can be useful if you want to utilize a third-party video surveillance solution which uses Motion-JPEG
and at the same time want to benefit of the MPEG4 compression for your Web browser based access.
When dual mode is activated, the camera slits the available video frame rate in two: 15 fps for MPEG4 video
and 15 fps for M-JPEG video.
Video Format
You can choose between MPEG4 compression (default) and JPEG compression. The MPEG4 compression
is the ideal choice if you want to view the live image of the camera over a remote network connection and
you want to get the best possible frame rate out of the camera. MPEG4 compression generates a smaller
video stream, which allows for higher frame rates.
With activated JPEG compression, the frame rate drops for connected users; however, depending on the
compression settings, the image quality is slightly better than with MPEG4 compression. JPEG compression
is also required by many third-party video surveillance applications which don't support MPEG4 cameras
(yet). Only if the JPEG compression mode is activated can you utilize the "Direct Image Access" feature
described below. The "Direct Image Access" feature is useful when integrating the live video of the High-
Speed Dome Camera in video surveillance applications, or to show the image on a Web site. This function
is only available in JPEG streaming mode.
17
Image Size, Image Quality, Image Rotation
Image Size: Select the image resolution from the drop-down list. Possible values are: 720x480, 640x480,
720x240, 640x240, 352x240 and 320x240.
Frame Rate: FPS stands for frames per second, or images per second. To conserve bandwidth, you may
lower the overall maximum frame rate of the live video. Select 25/30 for the best possible frame rate.
Image rotation: Flip the image in your Web browser. Note: This setting does not have any effect on videos
transmitted via FTP or E-mail.
VBR - CBR:
With activated MPEG4 compression mode, you can select either VBR mode or CBR mode.
Variable bit rate (VBR)
varies the amount of output data per time segment. VBR allows a higher bit rate (and
therefore more storage space) to be allocated to the more complex segments of media files while less
space is allocated to less complex segments. This means that the video stream size is constantly adjusting
to the video material currently being transmitted. If there is a lot of motion in the video and a lot of details,
the bit rate goes up and the frame rate drops. If the image shows little motion or areas with little detail (walls,
etc.), the bit rate goes down and the frame rate goes up. VBR produces a better quality-to-space ratio
compared to an equivalent CBR algorithm and is therefore the recommended option.
Constant bit rate (CBR)
means that the rate at which a codec's output data should be consumed is constant.
CBR is useful for streaming multimedia content on limited-capacity channels since it is the maximum bit rate
that matters, not the average, so CBR would be used to take advantage of all of the capacity. CBR would
not be the optimal choice for storage, as it would not allocate enough data for complex sections (resulting in
degraded quality) while wasting data on simple sections.
Image quality (VBR): Select the image quality level of the video output. Select Level 1 for the best possible
quality and Level 28 for the best possible compression at the highest possible frame rate. A good value is
Level 4. It generates a full-motion video (30 fps at highest image resolution) over a 100 Mbps network
connection with a very good image quality. Higher values (Level 3, 2, 1) increase the image quality even
more, but at the cost of frame rate.
Bit rate (CBR): Specify the bit rate. Possible values range from 1 (30 kbps = highest compression, smallest
image frame, highest frame rate) to 130 (3900 kbps = lowest compression, biggest image frame, lowest
frame rate).
Lowest Bit Rate/Quality -> smallest network bandwidth usage
The above image illustrates the effects of lowering the video quality. You have full control over the amount of
bandwidth the camera can use, to the point where it becomes difficult to identify any objects in the image
due to heavy compression damage.
18
Highest Bit Rate/Quality -> highest network bandwidth usage:
The effects of compression are minimal at the best image quality settings. The bandwidth usage of the
camera at this setting can be up to 10 Mbps.
De-Interlace
Interlaced video is composed of two fields that are captured at different moments in time. When displayed
on a typical computer screen, interlaced video frames will exhibit motion artifacts when both fields are
combined and displayed at the same moment (today's computer screens are progressive scan monitors
which display the image line by line from top to bottom without interlacing). These motion artifacts are visible
in the form of horizontal lines. See below:
De-interlacing reduces the effects of interlacing through methods of interpolation. See below:
19
NOTE: De-interlacing is only active for ActiveX / MS Internet Explorer. Java does not support it.
Color Control
You can adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Saturation and Hue settings of the live image. Normally it is not
necessary to change these values as the camera automatically adjusts for changing light conditions.
Direct Image Access
This URL allows a direct connection to the internal JPEG image of the camera. It is a useful function to
integrate the live video of the camera in third-party video surveillance applications.
Example Address: http://camera_address/jpg/image.jpg
Direct Image Access is only available when JPEG is selected as the video format.
Click on the "Save" button to submit the settings to the camera.
20
PTZ Control
This screen allows you to store up to 20 presets and to create a guard tour (sequence of steps automatically
performed by the camera).
Preset setting
Follow the steps below.
1. Use the PTZ controls below the image to move the camera to the desired position.
2. Select a preset no. from the drop-down list ([home] to [P19]).
3. Enter preset name (e.g., door) and click "Save >>" to save the preset.
4. The new preset appears in the list box.
5. Click “Move” to recall any preset you select from the list box.
Tour setting
You can program a patrol tour. That is a sequence of preset positions which the camera cycles through
automatically. Check Enable to activate Tour setting.
Display time
This defines the wait time between two positions. Be sure to allow enough time between two steps to allow
the camera to completely move from one position to the next. Possible values are from 0 to 600 seconds.
We recommend setting the value to at least 5 or higher.
Select preset name
Select a preset name from the drop-down list and click "Add >>". You can choose from up to 20 presets in
the preset list. Click "Save" to save the settings and click "<< Tour >>" to check the programmed patrol.
