JPEG is also supported for increased flexibility.

• Triple Streams

The network camera can deliver triple video streams simultaneously at full frame rate in all resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 using Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) and H.264. This means that several video streams can be configured with different compression formats, resolutions and frame rates for different needs.

• Image Setting Adjustment

The network camera enables users to adjust image settings such as contrast, brightness and saturation to improve images before encoding takes place.

• Intelligent Video Capabilities

The network camera includes intelligent capabilities such as enhanced video motion detection.

The network camera’s external inputs and outputs can be connected to devices such as sensors and relays, enabling the system to react to alarms and activate lights or open/close doors.

• Improved Security

The network camera logs all user access and lists currently connected users. Also, its full frame rate video can be provided over HTTPS.

• PoE (Power over Ethernet)

This network camera can be powered through PoE, which simplifies installation, since only one cable is needed for carrying power as well as video controls.

• ONVIF Certificate

ONVIF is a global interface standard that makes it easier for end users, integrators, consultants, and manufacturers to take advantage of the possibilities offered by network video technology. ONVIF enables interoperability between different vendors’ products, providing increased flexibility, reduced cost, and future-proof systems.

2. Installation

2.1 Installation Details

The dome camera is for use in surface or pendant mounting applications; the mounting location and material must be capable of supporting loads of up to 4.4 lb (2.0 kg). (Pendent mounting must use pendent mount accessory.)

The dome camera’s mounting bracket should be attached to a structural object, such as hard wood, wall stud or ceiling rafter that supports the weight of the dome camera.

CAUTION: A silicone rubber sealant (customer provided) must be applied to seal the housing to secure waterproofing.

2.1.1 Locking Dome Camera

A. Make screw holes on the ceiling using the supplied mounting Template Sheet (Figure A).

B. Secure the provided Mounting Bracket to the ceiling using supplied Anchors (4x) and

Mounting Screws (4x) (Figure B).

C. Attach the Safety Lanyard to the Safety Lanyard Hook of the Mounting Bracket (Figure C).

D. Align the locking tab on the bracket and the locking slot on the base of the dome (Figure D).

E. Turn the dome counterclockwise approximately 10 degree to the locked position (Figure E).

5

CAUTION: Before installing the mounting bracket to surface, pre-adjust the four mounting screws "A" on the base of the dome camera to best match the mounting bracket locked position. Unscrew the locking screw on the side of the dome's base and fit the tab of the mounting bracket into the locking slot. Screws "A" should not be too tight or too loose when the dome is in the locked position.

After setting the proper positions of screws "A," remove the mounting bracket and install it to the mounting surface. If it is too difficult to lock the dome in position after the mounting bracket has been installed readjust the screws "A" by unscrewing them a small amount and try to install dome camera again.

2.4 Network Connection & IP assignment

The network camera is designed for use on an Ethernet network and requires an IP address for access. Most networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to connected devices. By the factory default, your camera is set to obtain the IP address automatically via DHCP server. If your network does not have a DHCP server the network camera will use 192.168.1.100 as the default IP address.

If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be accessed, run the “SmartManager” utility on the CD to search and allocate an IP address, or reset the product to the factory default settings and then perform the installation again.

1) Connect the network camera/device to the network and power up.

2) Start SmartManager utility (Start > All programs > SmartManager > SmartManager). The main window will display, and after a short while any network devices connected to the network will be displayed in the list.

3) Select the camera on the list and click right button of the mouse. The pop-up menu displays as below.

4) Select Assign IP Address. The Assign IP window will display. Enter the required IP address.

NOTE: For more information, refer to the SmartManager User’s Manual.

General Performance Considerations

When setting up your system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations will affect performance. Some factors affect the amount of bandwidth (the bit rate) required, others can affect the frame rate, and some affect both. If the load on the CPU reaches its maximum, this will also affect the frame rate.

The following factors are among the most important to consider:

- High image resolutions and/or lower compression levels (or high bitrates) result in larger images. Frame rate and Bandwidth affected.

- Accessing both Motion JPEG and H.264 video streams simultaneously. Frame rate and bandwidth affected.

- Heavy network utilization due to poor infrastructure. Frame rate and Bandwidth affected.

- Heavy network utilization via wireless router due to poor infrastructure. Frame rate and bandwidth affected.

- Viewing on poorly performing client PCs lowers perceived performance. Frame rate affected.
