Overview
The Illustra 625 PTZ Camera is a Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) speed dome high definition camera utilizing the latest in IP technologies. It offers full HD resolution video streams using H.264 or MJPEG codecs at up to
30ips.
A built-in web server allows you to configure the dome and stream video using Internet Explorer version
8 and higher. The dome can operate as a standalone camera on a network however it is intended to be integrated into sophisticated security solutions.
The i625PTZ is compatible with American Dynamics Video Edge NVR, and Video Edge Hybrid DVR integrating using Illustra API v3.0 (iAPI v3.0). This creates an integrated environment that allows you to access and control video remotely over a network, whether your surveillance system is small or large.
The combined user interfaces allows for camera configuration and operation via American Dynamics victor Unified Client including direct access to the camera for advanced settings, direct web connect to the Network Video Recorder, and access via browser to the camera where needed for configuration. The i625 PTZ can also integrate with other network video recording systems using iAPI v3.0.
The i625PTZ is a Network Video Transmitter (NVT) compliant with ONVIF 2.2 Profile S standards and can interface with network video clients supporting ONVIF.
The additional Feature Plus functionality supported in this firmware release consists of audio support utilizing audio in/audio out connections, one output alarm, four external dry contact alarm connections and SD card buffering. The camera may be configured to record up to 20s (10s pre- and 10s post-event) to an SD card upon the triggering of one of the dry contact alarms. These video clips may be sent via FTP to an external FTP server for analysis.
The i625PTZ Dome is available in the following configurations:

MJPEG usage consideration
MJPEG video does not use any temporal compression but only use spatial compression making its bandwidth requirements much greater than H264.
General recommendations:
Maximum possible Quality setting: 100
Recommended Maximum setting: 90
Recommended High Quality Setting: 75
Recommended Medium Quality Setting: 55
The following Quality settings are recommended to optimize bandwidth utilization when using MJPEG spatial compression at high resolution:
Resolution
1920x1080
1920x1080
1920x1080
1600x900

ONVIF Authentication
Illustra 625 PTZ supports WS-UsernameToken for ONVIF authentication.
This authentication protocol requires that both communicating devices have synchronized their clocks within a 5 minutes tolerance window. The administrator needs to ensure that the camera time is configured prior to enabling ONVIF authentication.
ONVIF authentication is automatically disabled if the built-in “admin” user has the default “admin” password. To enable ONVIF authentication, the administrator must change the password of the built-in
“admin” user.
ONVIF authentication can also be disabled via the Web GUI:
1. Select Advanced Settings from the Networking menu.
2. Select the Remote Access tab.

Picture Settings
On reboot the camera will return to the last “Save Picture Settings”
On power reset the camera will return to the last “Save Picture Settings”
If “Save Picture Settings” has never been used, the saved settings are equivalent to Defaults.
It is recommended to “Save Picture Settings” at the end of commissioning so that these settings are preserved in case of a power cut.
Picture settings can be saved via the Web GUI:
1. Select Picture Settings from the View menu.
2. Select the Picture Settings tab.
3. Select Save to save and retain the current picture settings.
Power Cycling
When a user is performing a power cycle the power cable should be left unconnected for 20 seconds prior to re-connection. If the cable is connected too soon a failed boot may occur.
Patterns
The camera has a 15 minutes pattern timeout. Pattern recording will be cancelled after this time. When the camera is recording a pattern there will be limited functionality (e.g. no PTZ actions can be launched).
Time Zones
Time zones listed without cities are generic – these time zones have daylight saving disabled.
Freeze Frame
Freeze frame will only apply when moving to/from a preset or running a sequence. Freeze frame will not be used to go the start of a scan/pattern. In some instances, when zoom is applied to a preset, freeze frame may resume prior to a preset reaching full zoom set.
Web GUI
Web GUI Video Streaming
The Web GUI requires the installation of Apple Quicktime to stream video. Quicktime 7.0.0 or above is recommended.
Web GUI PTZ Controls
The Mouse wheel can be used to apply zoom, this operates at 1x increments; for quicker zoom the GUI
Camera Controls should be used.

PRODUCT
Description
This firmware update is not backwards compatible. Once the firmware version 1.0.2 has been installed it will not be possible to downgrade to firmware version 1.0.0 or 1.0.1.
Known Limitations and Issues
None
Suggested Work-Around
Privacy zones - When drawing a privacy zone if you touch the border of the image, you lose control of the resize
Scheduled Tasks do not run during BST (British
Summer Time) change if set to run at specific changing time
Auto – Day night mode: Return to day mode.
The camera may not return to day mode (color) under some lighting conditions, in particular at high zoom magnification.
H264 encoding: H264 VBR Quality settings for
Low and Lowest provide the same bit rate as
Medium when the scene is complex or has high movement.
Privacy Zones table for role 'user' provides a
'Delete' button when there is no delete facility available for 'user' role. The button performs no action.
Upgrade may result in high CPU fault being logged.
Illustra 625 PTZ Set Privacy Zone functionality freezes when a user double left clicks on the surveillance pane
When using the web GUI, video does not start streaming automatically after drawing a Privacy
Zone.
Factory defaulting the camera retains DNS information, when the user does not select retain network configuration
Factory defaulting the camera does not change status of IPv6 - If IPv6 is disabled prior to factory default this will remain disabled
Do not allow the zone to extend further than the draw area.
N/A
Reduce zoom magnification or move the camera to a brighter scene temporarily to trigger day mode before returning to the desired location.
If greatly reducing bandwidth is desired regardless of scene complexity, a combination of reducing resolution and reducing H264 quality should be used rather than only reducing quality at high resolution.
This will be addressed in a future firmware update.
N/A
These faults can be safely ignored. Administrator should login to Current Faults Table to delete CPU
Alarm message.
User can refresh the page or click cancel to recover the live video
User must click Play button to start stream again
Administrator can edit/remove the DNS field information.
Administrator can enable IPV6 manually,
User can still search for the camera using IPV4 IP address.
