Section 1: Product Overview
Features
360 Degree Full HD Surveillance
The DCS-6915 provides superb 360 degree Full HD industry standard 16:9 wide screen video for IP surveillance. The pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) controls enable comprehensive wide area surveillance with proportional tilt control making it easy to precisely adjust the camera’s view as the panning speed is automatically slowed to improve camera tracking and control. Additionally, PTZ presets allow the camera to automatically monitor specified areas along predefined paths. Together these features mean a single camera can provide 360 degree coverage of a large area with ease.
Remote Monitoring Utility
The D-ViewCam application adds enhanced features and functionality for the Network Camera and allows administrators to configure and access the Network Camera from a remote site via Intranet or Internet. Other features include image monitoring, recording images to a hard drive, viewing up to 32 cameras on one screen, and taking snapshots.
Remote Zoom & Focus The remote focus function eliminates the need for manual focusing at the camera position and allowing the user to make key adjustments from any computer. The remote zoom functionality allows the user to make final adjustments to the zoom from the computer. It provides a convenient way to ensure that the viewing angle is optimized for the scene and required need for resolution.
Built for Tough Environments
Specially designed for use in challenging environments the DCS-6915 has a toughened metal, industry-certified IK-10 (vandal-proof) and IP-66
(weather-proof) housing. This means that it is able to withstand sudden high impacts, as well as adverse weather conditions. The camera apparatus is housed in a weatherproof enclosure (IP-66 standard), and features a built-in heater and fan which enable the camera to operate in extreme environments at temperatures ranging from -40 to 50 °C (-49 to 122 °F).
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
The Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function of a camera provides clear images even under backlit conditions where the intensity of illumination can vary significantly. The DCS-6915 is recommended for extreme high-contrast environments. For example, when placed indoors, the DCS-6915 will adjust itself to the intense sunlight that may be streaming in through a nearby window. This makes it an ideal solution for security applications.
Removable IR Cut Filter for Continuous Monitoring
The IR Cut Filter can be manually applied, or set to automatically adjust based on lighting conditions. This feature enables the camera to capture crisp color images during the daytime, and grayscale images in low-light.
Flexible Connectivity
The DCS-6915 includes input and output ports for connectivity to external devices such as IR sensors, switches, and alarm relays.

Color: Select either a Color or B/W (black and white, monochrome) video display.
Power Line Frequency: Select either 50 or 60 Hz depending on your region.
Flip: Flip: Users can track an object continuously when it passes through under the dome camera with setting flip to mechanical mode (M.E.) or digital flip mode (Image).
• M.E. mode: M.E. mode is a standard mechanical operation. As the Dome Camera tilts to the maximum angle, it will pan 180°, and then continue tilting to keep tracking objects.
• Image mode: Image mode represents digital image flip, which enables user to keep tracking objects seamlessly; under the mode, almost no delay occurs in comparing with that under the M.E. mode.
Note: The tilt range of flip can be set in “PTZ Control/Tilt Range setting”, the angle is from
-10° to +100°.
White Balance: This adjusts the relative amount of red, green and blue primary colors in the image so that the neutral colors are reproduced correctly.
• Auto: The camera automatically adjusts the color temperature of the light in response to different light sources. The white balance setting defaults to Auto and works well in most situations.
• Indoor/Outdoor Mode: Camera will adjust white balance automatically based on indoor/Outdoor default parameter.
• ATW mode: The Dome Camera takes out the signals in a screen in the range from 2500
K to 10000 K.
• Manual mode: In this mode, users can change the White Balance value manually via specifying R gain and B gain; the range of R/B gain is from 0 to 255.

Port and Access Name Settings
HTTPS
By default, the HTTPS port is set to 443. It can also be assigned to another port number between 1025 and 65535.
To use HTTPS on the Network Camera, a HTTPS certificate must be installed. The HTTPS certificate can be obtained by either creating and sending a certificate request to a
Certificate Authority (CA) or creating a self-signed HTTPS certificate, as described below.
HTTP: The default web server port is 80. If the port is changed, the client must be notified of the change for the connection to be successful. For instance, if the Administrator changes the
HTTP port of the Network Camera whose IP address is 192.168.0.100 from 80 to 8080, the user must type in the web browser “http://192.168.0.100:8080” instead of “http://192.168.0.100”.
Access name for stream 1, 4: This Network Camera supports multiple streams simultaneously. The access name is used to differentiate the streaming source.
RTSP
Authentication: Depending on your network security requirements, the Network Camera provides three types of security settings for streaming via RTSP protocol: disable, basic, and digest. If basic authentication is selected, the password is sent in plain text format, but there can be potential risks of it being intercepted. If digest authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted using MD5 algorithm, thus providing better protection against unauthorized access.
Access name for stream 1 to 4: This Network Camera supports multiple streams simultaneously. The access name is used to differentiate the streaming source.
Note: Ensure to choose the different port from the one set for the web server port.
