Introduction

The Illustra Pro PTZ and Illustra 625 PTZ 20x Cameras (hereafter referred to as the camera)are PTZ high definition cameras utilizing the latest in IP technologies. ONVIF-compatibility allows interoperability with other

ONVIF-compliant third party NVRs. A built-in web server allows you to configure the camera and stream video using Internet Explorer version 8 and higher.

Although the camera can operate as a standalone camera on a network, it is intended to be integrated into sophisticated security solutions. The Feature Plus version of the camera features audio and alarms.

The camera is available in the following configurations:

Picture Basic

Setting Exposure

Configure the exposure settings for the camera. Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Open Shutter provide additional functionality to help compensate for low-light scenes

Automatic Gain Control (AGC)

AGc amplifies the video signal in scenes when there is not enough light to produce full video levels. The maximum level of AGC is controlled by the Max Gain control. It is adjustable from 0dB (off) to 37dB. As gain is increased, the sensor noise is also amplified, which can result in more noticeable noise in the image.

Open Shutter

This is a technique that is used for really low light performance applications. It allows the shutter speed to be slowed down further than normal to allow the sensor to collect more light. The maximum level of Open Shutter is controlled by the Shutter Speed control. It is adjustable from 1/30 down to ½ second. The slower the Shutter

Speed, the higher the chance for image blur which may affect moving object identification. It is only in effect during low-light situations where an image would not be obtainable otherwise and does not affect the camera performance in normal or bright light situations.

Max Gain

The Max Gain setting is an upper limit for how much gain can be increased when AGC is enabled. The trade-off between picture level (brightness) and noise may be adjusted by setting the Max Gain value. Lower values for

Max Gain setting may result in a darker picture, but with less noise. Higher values for Max Gain setting may result in a brighter picture, but with more noise.

• AGC on - good low-light performance with the chance for some noise.

• openshutter - best for low-light performance. However there is a chance for some noise and some image blur.

The default setting is ‘openshutter’.

Note:

If you require “Real Time” video, open shutter must be turned off to ensure that the resulting video quality is acceptable for prosecution purposes.

The video pane will update to display the new settings.

- End -

Wide Dynamic Range

WDR is a feature that allows viewing of high contrast scenes that include both bright and low light areas in the same field of view (FOV).

WDR Level allows you to adjust the WDR level to favour a underexposed or overexposed image. By selecting the lower end of the control the image is underexposed; this provides more detail in areas of brightness, but less detail in areas of darkness. On the other hand, selecting the higher end of the control overexposes the image which provides more detail in the dark areas but less detail in the bright areas.

A typical use for this feature would be viewing a scene with both indoor and outdoor lighting conditions simultaneously, such as a warehouse area with an open bay door.

IR/Day Night Mode

IR/DayNight Mode utilizes a series of specific camera functions to dramatically enhance low light performance.

One of these camera functions, the True TDN mechanism, used when needed, removes an IR Cut Filter (IRCF) from in front of the imager; this allows the camera to see in black and white (BW) and utilize additional nearinfrared energy found in many lighting sources such as halogen, moonlight, etc.

Picture Additional

The preceding, in conjunction with slowing down another camera function, shutter speed, significantly improves low-light performance—rendering clear images where none could be viewed previously.

IR Mode

When the camera is in B/W mode, it can utilize, or 'see', near-IR illumination—something the human eye cannot do. This can be extremely powerful when the camera is paired with 850~950nm IR illuminators. With this combination a scene can be well lit with IR light that the camera can see but people cannot. This is great for areas where external lighting is not allowed or there is a need for covert security.

Normal, or visible light, and IR light have different focal points. The camera has 3 IR modes to help optimize focus capabilities and achieve sharper IP pictures when using these light sources. See the following table for recommended settings for corresponding IR Switching with IR illumination.

Day Night Mode

The camera provides a black-and-white (B/W) mode to improve camera performance when the light level falls below certain thresholds. This allows clear images to be obtained under low-light conditions. There are six

Day/Night settings: Auto High, Auto Mid, Auto Low, Manual, Forced Color, and Forced B/W.

Setting Exposure

Configure the exposure settings for the camera. Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Open Shutter provide additional functionality to help compensate for low-light scenes

Automatic Gain Control (AGC)

AGc amplifies the video signal in scenes when there is not enough light to produce full video levels. The maximum level of AGC is controlled by the Max Gain control. It is adjustable from 0dB (off) to 37dB. As gain is increased, the sensor noise is also amplified which can result in more noticeable noise in the image.

Open Shutter

This is a technique that is used for really low-light performance applications. It allows the shutter speed to be slowed down further than normal to allow the sensor to collect more light. The maximum level of Open Shutter is controlled by the Shutter Speed control. It is adjustable from 1/30 down to ½ second. The slower the Shutter

Speed, the higher the chance for image blur which may affect moving object identification. It is only in effect during low-light situations where an image would not be obtainable otherwise and does not affect the camera performance in normal or bright light situations.

Max Gain

The Max Gain setting is an upper limit for how much gain can be increased when AGC is enabled. The trade-off between picture level (brightness) and noise may be adjusted by setting the Max Gain value. Lower values for

Max Gain setting may result in a darker picture, but with less noise. Higher values for Max Gain setting may result in a brighter picture, but with more noise

IR/Day Night Mode

IR/DayNight Mode utilizes a series of specific camera functions to dramatically enhance low light performance.

One of these camera functions, the True TDN mechanism, used when needed, removes an IR Cut Filter (IRCF) from in front of the imager; this allows the camera to see in black and white (BW) and utilize additional nearinfrared energy found in many lighting sources such as halogen, moonlight, etc.

The preceding, in conjunction with slowing down another camera function, shutter speed, significantly improves low-light performance—rendering clear images where none could be viewed previously.

IR Mode

When the camera is in B/W mode, it can utilize, or 'see', near-IR illumination—something the human eye cannot do. This can be extremely powerful when the camera is paired with 850~950nm IR illuminators. With this

30

Picture Additional combination a scene can be well lit with IR light that the camera can see but people cannot. This is great for areas where external lighting is not allowed or there is a need for covert security.

Normal, or visible light, and IR light have different focal points. The camera has 3 IR modes to help optimize focus capabilities and achieve sharper IP pictures when using these light sources. See the following table for recommended settings for corresponding IR Switching with IR illumination.

Day Night Mode

The camera provides a black-and-white (B/W) mode to improve camera performance when the light level falls below certain thresholds. This allows clear images to be obtained under low-light conditions. There are six

Day/Night settings: Auto High, Auto Mid, Auto Low, Manual, Forced Color, and Forced B/W.

Privacy Zones

Privacy Zones are “masked” sections of the camera’s viewing area. These masks prevent operators of the surveillance system who do not have access to the camera password from viewing these designated zones.

Each zone has four sides, and the zones may overlap to form irregular shapes. The Privacy Zones move in relation to the camera's pan/tilt position.

The apparent size of the Privacy Zone adjusts automatically as the zoom level is adjusted. Privacy Zones are useful for high security areas. For example, you might establish a privacy Zone around a safe’s combination, but still view people approaching or opening the safe. When Privacy Zones are active, the camera's firmware automatically disables text transparency.

Up to 32 rectangular privacy zones can be used on the camera.

Note:

Areas of the Privacy Zone may be exposed during rapid pan/tilt movements of the camera. To compensate for this limitation, you may want to program the Privacy Zone to be 20 to 25% larger than the area you want to mask.

The camera default setting for the First Stop is 45X and 120X for the Max stop. If the current zoom level is less than 45X, pressing Zoom In continuously causes the zoom to stop at 45X. If the zoom level is 45X or greater, pressing Zoom In continuously causes the zoom to stop at the maximum setting of 120X.

The second zoom stop remains in effect until the zoom function is reduced to less than the first zoom stop setting

(45X) and the zoom button is released for one second or longer. To achieve higher zoom levels, change the maximum zoom setting.

Motion Tracking

The Motion Tracking feature enables the camera to detect motion in the field of view and once detected track the motion using the PTZ functionality of the camera. The Duration setting allows the configuration of the time an object is tracked once it is detected.

Note:

Any changes to the Motion Tracking configuration applies to both Scans and Sequences.

Motion Tracking together with Stepped Scans or Sequences can be used to complete Intelligent Guard Tours .

For more information on Intelligent Guard Tours refer to Appendix A- Intelligent Guard Tour on Page 131 .

Motion Tracking can be used with or without Motion Detection enabled.

Note:

It is recommended that Motion Detection is enabled with Intelligent Guard Tour to allow the camera to raise a

Motion Detection Alert to the Network Video Recorder allowing recording of the object being tracked.

To enable Motion Detection refer to Enable or Disable a Motion Detection Alert on Page 68

If Motion Detection is enabled and motion tracking is disabled:

• When a motion start alarm is sent and the camera initiates a PTZ movement, whether manual or by a Program (e.g. Preset, Pattern, Sequence or Scan), a stop alarm will be forced to “close” the alarm.

If motion detection is enabled, motion tracking is enabled, and a Sequence or Scan started:

• When there is motion, a motion start alarm is sent, motion tracking starts (camera starts using PTZ functionality to follow the motion). Only when there are 3 seconds of no motion, or the motion tracking duration expires, is there a motion stop alarm sent. The camera will then resume to the next set point of the Sequence or Scan.

Event Actions

The camera can be commanded to carry out a specified operation when an Alarm input or analytic alert is triggered. These are defined using event actions. Up to five event actions can be configured on the camera. (This menu option is available only for Feature Plus cameras.)

Note:

Scheduled tasks, alarms and manual camera control will always begin when they are selected or scheduled to start. None of these camera actions have a priority over any of the others.

The event action can be used to configure any combination of the following actions:

• Record a clip to a microSD Card.

• Send an external alarm via email that includes alarm detail, where to retrieve the AVI video file and one

JPEG picture of the event if recording MJPEG to microSD Card. (If MJPEG is not being recorded on microSD Card, then no JPEG picture will be sent.)

• Send an AVI video file to a pre-configured external FTP server. The video file will contain pre and post alarm video buffer.

Note:

A microSD Card must be inserted in order to send SMTP email, video files and images from triggered analytic alerts.

• PTZ action: none or a stored preset, pattern, sequence or scan.

• The result of this PTZ action will continue until another PTZ, scheduled task or return home command is received. A PTZ command from the Web GUI or ONVIF will be responded to immediately, possibly interrupting the programmed PTZ action. A PTZ action from a different digital input will also be done immediately. PTZ commands originating from a scheduled task only interrupt the alarm PTZ action if more than 30 seconds has passed since the triggering. Otherwise, they get delayed.

Alarms I / O

(This menu option is available only for Feature Plus cameras.)

The camera provides four alarm inputs. By connecting alarm devices, such as smoke alarms, twilight sensors, or motion sensors, to these inputs, you can enhance the usability of your video surveillance system.

• For 15 seconds after being triggered, any additional individual input changes on that alarm source will only be logged and not generate any other action. This is to reduce the likelihood that any oscillating alarm source—such as a door simply vibrating in the wind—cause a series of alarms to be generated.

• Input alarms are triggered upon change of state—either from opened to closed or from closed to open.

The camera will report the current state of each input alarm (open or closed) as well as an active or inactive status in the alarm configuration page. Active alarms will also be visible in the Event Log. Refer to Event Log on Page 68 .

• The triggering of any input alarm will affect scheduled tasks and delay them until at least 30 seconds has passed since the last digital alarm input was triggered.

Alarm Actions

The following alarm actions can be triggered by any alarm input:

• Activate the digital output contact. This stays active until the alarm is acknowledged and cleared by an operator.

• Send an external alarm WS-Event that includes alarm details.

• Send an external alarm via email that includes alarm detail, where to retrieve the AVI video file and one JPEG picture of the event if recording MJPEG to local storage. (If MJPEG is not being recorded on local storage, then no JPEG picture will be sent.)

• Send an audio file via the camera. If a speaker has been connected to the audio output on the camera, the file can be played as the alarm is triggered.

65

Event Actions

• Send an AVI video file to a pre-configured external FTP server. The video file will contain pre and post alarm video buffer and audio if enabled and supported, as outlined above.

Note:

1. An active internal alarm only resets when the input state changes to “normal.” A manual reset is not available.

2. A microSD Card must be inserted to send an SMTP email, video files, audio and images from triggered alarms.

Analytics

Analytics is a feature which detects and tracks objects in video. Analytics supported are Motion Detection and

Motion Tracking.

Motion Detection

Motion detection can be used to trigger an Event Action. When enabled, motion detection is applied to the fullscreen field of view. When the camera is moving for PTZ operations, motion detection is suppressed.

Motion Detection Best Practices

To ensure you get the highest quality results when using Motion Detection on the camera it is recommended that you adhere to the following:

• An object exhibiting motion needs to be at least 8x8 pixels in size to be detected.

• The color of the object (in gray scale) should be approximately 10-15% different than the background.

• Try not to point cameras into sunlight, because high brightness will prevent detection of movement of bright objects such as a person with a white shirt.

67

Event Logs

• Avoid areas with persistent motion, such as trees, blinking lights, or spinning signs, by using an appropriate region of interest. For scenes like these it is recommended to lower the motion sensitivity level.

Enable or Disable a Motion Detection Alert

Motion detection can be turned on and turned off when required.

Clear, Warning, Critical and Error.

• Detail - extra information that supplements the fault description.

• Delete -remove the fault from the fault table.

System Faults

The following system faults may be raised:

• DiskUsage(Warning) - this warning is raised when the disk utilisation rises above the threshold value

“threshold2” held in SYSM.conf. Once an alarm is generated and the disk utilization decreases 1% below the threshold value, the fault is then automatically cleared. The default threshold value is 80%.

• PowerSupplyAlarm(Error) - this fault is raised when one or more of the internal DC power supplies voltage level is either too high or too low. Once an alarm is generated and the DC power voltage goes back into the proper range, the fault is automatically cleared.

ENVM (Environmental Monitor) Component

The following environmental faults can be raised by the ENVM (Environmental Monitor) component:

• TemperatureTooHigh (Warning) - this fault is raised when the internal temperature of the enclosure is equal to or exceeds the value MAX_TEMPERATURE held in ENVM.conf. Once an alarm is generated and the temperature drops to a level 1 degree below the MAX_TEMPERATURE value, the fault is automatically cleared. This is to avoid transient changes in temperature around the threshold.

• TemperatureTooLow (Warning) - a fault is raised when the internal temperature of the enclosure is equal to or is below the value MIN_TEMPERATURE held in ENVM.conf. Once an alarm is generated and the temperature drops to a level 1 degree above the MIN_TEMPERATURE value, the fault is automatically cleared. This is to avoid transient changes in temperature around the threshold.

Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) is supported for updating, in real time, a changing IP address on the

Internet to provide a persistent domain name for a resource that may change location on the network. In this situation, the camera talks only to the DHCP server, and the DHCP server is responsible for updating the DNS server. The camera sends its hostname to the DHCP server when requesting a new lease and the DHCP server updates the DNS records accordingly. This is suitable for an intranet style configuration where there is an internal

DHCP and DNS service and the user wants to access their camera only within their own network.

By default, when making a DHCP request the camera will transmit its hostname as part of the DHCP request.

This option is not user configurable. The camera's hostname matches the configurable parameter “camera name” on the web GUI. Any DHCP request will contain the camera's hostname for the DHCP server to use to forward to an appropriate DNS server.

For Illustra Pro PTZ indoor models, power can be provided by PoE Plus or by a 24 VAC power line. Local powering is possible for indoor models, with the capability to have both sources connected at any time. The local powering option will always be available, whatever the POE status. If both power sources are connected, the first power source connected will provide all power until power goes away. The power source connected second will serve as backup power and power the dome if the first source fails

The Illustra Pro PTZ outdoor models use 24V AC power.

Base Protocol and Underlying Layers

• The camera is an IP camera compatible with TCP/IP protocol.

• The camera supports both IPv4 and IPv6, running either in single stack mode or dual stack mode

(supporting both IP versions at the same time).

• TCP is used for two way communication and UDP will be used for broadcasting protocols.


Network Name Resolution

• HTTP is used for the ONVIF protocol as transport mechanism for SOAP calls.

• FTP can be used to push alarm buffer video clips to a specified remote FTP server. The camera can use anonymous FTP or a specified username and password. There is no incoming FTP service.

IP multicast RFC 1112 level 1 support for sending but not receiving multicast IP datagrams to a group of interested receivers in single transmissions is supported for audio, video and metadata stream types. The steams can be controlled using the two methods described below:

1

2

A client can request a multicast stream using RTSP. When the client requests a stream the server will respond with a multicast address in the ‘c=’ field of the describe response (RFC 4566). The client will then respond with a Setup request with the Transport Type set to multicast, the device shall stop sending packets for a multicast configuration when no more RTSP sessions are using the same multicast configuration.

An RTP multicast UDP stream can be started by an ONVIF ‘StartMulticastStreaming’ request with a specified media profile. Streaming continues until ‘StopMulticastStreaming’ is called for the same profile

Multicast RTSP sessions support the same authentication methods as unicast RTSP sessions.

• Network Address Configuration

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) will be enabled by default on the camera. During the boot process, the camera will attempt to acquire a network address via DHCP. The DHCP client will be configured to do 3 attempts with a 20 second timeout.

• Static IP can be used if the camera cannot be found on the network using DHCP. In this mode, the a static IP address, subnet mask, default router and a primary and secondary DNS server can be configured. This will be used by the camera when turned on. It is possible to assign a static IPv4 address while still allowing the IPv6 addressing to be Link Local (automatically assigned).

• Dynamic DNS or DDNS Dynamic Domain Name System is supported for updating, in real time a changing IP address on the Internet to provide a persistent domain name for a resource that may change location on the network. RFC 2136 Dynamic Updates in the Domain Name System. In this situation the camera talks only to the DHCP server and the DHCP server is responsible for updating the DNS server.

The camera sends its hostname to the DHCP server when requesting a new lease and the DHCP server updates the DNS records accordingly. This is suitable for an intranet style configuration where there is an internal DHCP and DNS service and the user wants only to access their camera within their own network.

By default, when making a DHCP request the camera will transmit its hostname as part of the DHCP request. This option is not user configurable. The cameras hostname matches the configurable parameter “camera name” on the web GUI. Any DHCP request will contain the cameras hostname for use of the DHCP server to forward to an appropriate DNS server.

Network Name Resolution

The camera uses DNS protocol to resolve network names. DNS server address will be acquired via DHCP or manually set for static IP configuration. Camera configuration supports symbolic names for all remote end-points

(except DNS servers) but in this mode will depend on a working and correctly configured remote DNS server.

127

Email

Email

The camera can send email alerts via SMTP to one specified mailbox using a specified SMTP server. Support is provided for basic authenticated SMTP using username and password for login on the SMTP server.

Discovery

The product supports WS-Discovery for discovery purpose.

A copy of Illustra Connect is supplied with the camera, this is a MS-Windows based discovery application, which will allow discovering any illustra camera on a network; OS Compatibility: MS-Windows XP, MS-Windows Vista,

MS-Windows 7 & 8.

For each camera found on the network, the discovery tools will report:

• Serial number.

• Model Name.

• Product Code (HardwareID).

• MAC address.

• Current IP address.

• Firmware version.

This tool will allow configuration of:

• DHCP

• Static IP configuration

• Select a number of cameras and push a firmware update via ONVIF

ONVIF Video and Control Interface

The primary video and control interface to the camera is the Open Network Video Interface Forum global standard for the interface of network video products. This uses SOAP over HTTP. The camera provides ONVIF for integration to internal and external systems.

Intelligent Guard Tour

Appendix A- Intelligent Guard Tour

Intelligent Guard Tour

A traditional guard tour uses a series of Scans or Sequences which the PTZ camera follows in order to show different areas covered by the camera's field of view or a Security Guard using the PTZ controls to watch different areas. In the mode of operation the Security Guard must monitor the camera view looking for objects of interest, which can easily be missed.

The Illustra Pro PTZ combines Stepped Scans or Sequences and Motion Trackion to introduce the Intelligent

Guard Tour feature. This feature allows the camera to monitor different fields of view, configured using a stepped scan or a sequence, for motion. If motion is detected the camera will track the motion keeping the object center frame and in focus by automatically adjusting the PTZ settings. The camera will track the motion until either there is no motion is detected in the Field Of View or the Motion Tracking Duration timer limit has been reached. Once the camera finishes tracking it will return to the programed Scan or Sequence it was performing before the motion was detected.

Note:



In this mode of operation when there is motion, a motion start alarm is sent, motion tracking starts (camera starts using PTZ functionality to follow the motion). Only when there are 3 seconds of no motion in the field of view, or the motion tracking duration expires, is there a motion stop alarm sent. The camera will then resume to the next set point of the Sequence or Scan.

To configure the Intelligent Guard Tour the following steps should be followed:

Procedure 10-1 Configuring a Intelligent Guard Tour with Motion Detection Alarms

Step Action

1

2

4

Configure any Privacy Zones required in the camera's view. Refer to Privacy Zones on Page 36 .

Configure Motion Detection to raise alarms and to start and stop recording on the NVR. Refer to :

• Event Settings on Page 58

• Event Actions on Page 63

• Motion Detection on Page 67

Configure a Stepped Scan or Sequence to define the views required for the Intelligence Guard Tour.

Refer to Scans on Page 48 or Sequences on Page 51 .

Configure the Home position with the Scan or Sequence created in Step 3.

If a different Intelligent Guard Tour is required at different times a Schedule can be used to start the different Stepped Scans or Sequences at the required times. Refer to Scheduled Tasks on Page 71

Note:

An Intelligence Guard Tour can be manually started at any time by starting the associated Scan or Sequence from the GUI.

Bubble Handling and Cleaning

Appendix F- Bubble Cleaning Procedure

Bubble Handling and Cleaning

Dome camera bubbles require special care when handling and cleaning to avoid scratches.

Handling

The bubble is packaged with a protective plastic sheet. It is recommended that the bubble remain stored this way until it is ready to install. Limit handling the bubble, as any scratches can quickly affect visibility. Always handle the dome by the outside edge of the trim ring or flange. Never contact the surface of the bubble.

Cleaning

If cleaning the bubble is required, use the following procedures and comply with all the warnings listed below.

Removing Dust and Dirt

The extremely soft bubble surfaces should not be cleaned by rubbing or dusting with a cloth. Use clean dry compressed air, preferably from a spray can, or Lens Cleaning Rubber Air Dust Blowing Ball to remove any dust from the interior surface.

Cleaning the Bubble

If heavy residue (spots, streaks, stains) or any other contaminants are present first flush with clean water to remove any remaining dust or dirt. Then clean with a solution of a mild liquid dish detergent and water and lint free

“soft” paper towels or a microfiber eyeglass cleaning cloth. After cleaning, the affected area of the dome should be blown off with clean, dry air.

Caution

Alcohol or ammonia based solutions should be avoided when cleaning the bubble as they will cause the bubble to cloud and over time cause stress aging, which makes the bubble brittle. However if alcohol is required to remove residue, dilute with water and flush afterward with pure water.

Excessive pressure or rubbing on the dome's surface can cause permanent scratches which may render the dome unusable.

Do not use abrasive or harsh chemical cleaners.

For any gold or silver mirrored metalized bubbles only air dry the inside surface, and avoid any wiping or rubbing of the inside surface.
