8-2 Troubleshoo ting

Please don’t panic when you find that this IP camera is not working properly. Before you send this IP camer a back to us, you can do some simple checks to save your time:

Scenario

Can’t connect to IP Camera

Solution

1) Please check the IP address of IP Camera again.

2) Please make sure the network cable is correctly

connected to your local area network.

3) Please make sure power cable is correctly

connected to IP Camera.

4) Please make sure IP Camera is switched on (the

LED lights on IP Camera will be lit up).

No IP Camera found

1) ‘Auto search’ function only works on IP Cameras located on local area network.

No image 1) If the place where IP camera is installed is too

dark, try to add some lights when possible.

2) Check if there’s anything covering the lens.

Image is fuzzy 1) Check the lens and make sure it’s clean. If it’s dirty, use cloth with clean water to clean it, do not use alcohol or other chemical-based solution.

8-3 Glossary

MJPG: Motion JPEG or M-JPEG is a digital video sequence that is made up of a series o f individual JPEG images. (JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group). The quality of t he image is g uaranteed, regardless of movemen t because th e captured video is a series of separately compressed JPEG images that can be extracted individually. The compression level can be a djusted to control image quality and file size.

MPEG4: is a video and audio com pression technology found in many IP network ca mera models. The MPEG4 compression standard aims to deliver superi or image quality while optimizing bandwidth.

H .264: t of high-quality video images. Of fers higher video resolution than Motion JPEG or

MPEG-4 at the same bit ra te and bandwidth, or the same quality video at a lower bit rate.

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Pr otocol over Ethernet): Is a network protocol for e ncapsulating Poin t-to-Po int Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames.

TCP / IP (Transmission Contr ol Protocol/ Internet Protocol): TCP is used along with th e Internet Protocol (IP) to transmit data as packets between computers over the network.

T CP is a connection-oriented protocol, which means that a connection is established b etween the two end-points and is maintained until the data has been successfully e xchanged between the communicating applications.

D DNS (Dynamic DNS): Used to create a fixed domain name for dynamic internet IP a ddress. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-remember name for an Internet a ddress. Normally used when the ISP has provided you with dynamic internet IP address to access the camera remotely.

S MTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol): SMTP is used for sending and receiving e -mail. SMTP authentication is an extension of SMTP, whereby the client is required to lo g into the mail server before or during the sending of email. It can be used to allow

134

DG-SC5800PI User Manual legitimate users to send email while denying the service to unauthorized users, such as spammers.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol): FTP is an application protocol that uses the TCP/IP protocols, used to exchange files between computers/devices on networks. Network cameras with embedded operating systems use FTP to send camera images to an authorized user’s computer or web site.

U PnP (Universal Plug & Play): A set of computer network protocols that allow the automatic peer-to-peer detection of devices on the network. Allows the discovery of

UPnP- enabled devices in a network environment.

R TSP (Real Time Streaming protocol): RTSP is a control protocol for Internet streaming of audio and video. Mostly used for remote viewing of live or stored security camera video over the Internet. RTSP can be considered as a “remote control” for controlling the media stream delivered by a media server. RTSP servers typically use RTP a s the protocol for the actual transport of audio/video data.

CMOS Sensor (Complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor): Is an image sensor a vailable in many IP network cameras with less circuitry hence consumes less power, produces higher frame rate & is less costly as compared to CCD sensors.

IR LED (Infrared LED):

Infrared radiation is radiation at a longer wavelength than visible light, which means it cannot be seen by the naked eye. These cameras are well suited for surveillance of low light areas or areas w ith no light at all. Infrared LED's s urround the lens and shine infrared light, illuminating the scene.

Pan/Tilt: IP cameras with panning capabilities can move back and forth horizontally in order to monitor wider areas. In many cases a camera's panning functionality can be controlled remotely from netwo rk PC using video management software. Tilt refers to an

IP camera's ability to be directed up and down in a vertical plane. The camera lens can be aimed at a specific part of a scene, and in many cases the tilt can be controlled remotely .

135


Frame Rate: The frame rate is used to describe the frequency at which a video stream is updated is m easured in frames per second (fps). If you want more accurate video then the fr ame rate should be kept high. Lower the frame rate, lesser the image details.

Gain Control:

When camera produces a quality picture, it needs a sufficient amount of light to produce a minimum stable picture, in case the light condition reduces to a certain level, there is insufficient light to the camera to create a quality video picture. AGC

(A utomatic gain control) increases the amount of amplification in these conditions to bring the video signal up to the minimum required level. Besides increasing picture signal, AGC also helps to reduce noise and picture attenuation.

D aylight saving time (DST): It is practiced especially in countries such as Australia,

Canada and the United States to save energy because it refers to a time for saving daylight during the summertime so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less.

Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn.

Q oS & IP filtering: Quality of service plays an important role while viewing video over the data network, this IP camera supports QoS parameters which can help prioritize the video traffic along with the managed switches/ routers in the network to ensure best delivery of the video when running multiple applications over IP network . The IP camera c an either white list or blacklist an IP address. This restricts unauthorized access to the IP camera.

Infrared (IR) cut-off filters: They are used with color CCD or CMOS imagers to produce accurate color images. An IR cut-off filter blocks the tran smission of the infrared w hile passing the visible. This can be done with two optical techniques: absorption or reflection. Absorptive filters are made with special optical glass that absorbs near infrared radiation. Reflection type filters are short-pass interference filters that reflect infrared light with high efficiency.

136


Day/Night function

DG-SC5800PI has an array of IR LEDs for better visibility under no light environment. If the environment light is not sufficient enough to view the ca mera then th e IR LEDs are triggered automatically for better visibility.

Weatherproof enclosure

The IP camera enclosure complies with IP66 standard thus protecting it from dust and direct sprays from all directions (limited ingress permitted). The enclosure of the IP camera has a Fan and Heater arrangement to withstand extreme weather environment.

T his product comes with One Year warranty. For further details about warranty policy a nd Product Registration, please visit support section of www.digisol.com
