General Purpose

Note



1. You can upgrade your VideoEdge Camera Handler version at http://www.americandynamics.net



2. Please reference NVR Installation and User Manual to Configure Storage. NVRs can require a tremendous amount of storage space depending on the number of cameras, codec, resolution, and frame rates, recording modes, and the duration for which you wish to preserve video recordings. At the outset of your use of the NVR system, you will need to have storage configured to record data

Auto Discovery

The Auto-Discovery feature allows you to automatically discover 'discoverable devices' on the network to add to the NVR. Multiple devices can be added to the NVR until you reach your limit of camera license. The default recording status for cameras added via auto-discovery is Record

Always. Once the devices are discovered the user has the choice of updating the device name.

This update is applied when the camera is added to the NVR.

The new auto discovery feature now allows cameras to be discovered on the network faster and with less steps. This feature uses standard network discovery protocols that simplify the setup of cameras on the NVR. All AD cameras and Axis cameras can use this feature. Other camera manufactures may not support these standard discovery protocols. For those cameras, the existing NVR 4.4 discovery functionality (Scan Devices) has been included within the NVR.

When using Auto-Discovery, it is recommended that the NVR you are using to discover cameras on is on the same subnet as the cameras.

Note

Not all cameras can be added to the NVR in this way as some manufacturers require cameras to be pre-configured prior to being added to network i.e cameras which communicate through ONVIF.

The user can now update the camera IP address. This is done through the ‘Discovered cameras list’ by the user enabling the checkbox beside the relevant camera and clicking on the ‘IP’ button.

The user can then configure the IP either by using DHCP or specifying an IP address.

•

Discovered devices can now also be added to a security group. This is done by the user unchecking the Default associations radio button and selecting a pre defined security group from the security group dropdown. New security groups can be created via the security tab. Please refer to security for more information.

1-2

Push Updates

With NVR 4.4, the ability was added through Victor VEClient to perform push upgrades of NVR software via the victor client. This functionality has been enhanced in NVR version 4.5 to include individual camera handler push updates going forward.

To Update Individual Camera Handlers the Handler.exe package must be downloaded and placed in a folder named “Repository” inside the Tyco\Update Server repository directory on the Site

Manager’s workstation. It may be necessary to create the Repository folder if it does not already exist.

The camera handler executables will require to be extracted (double click to execute) prior to making them available for installation.

Camera Handler Release Notes

General Purpose

The installation process can be initialized either by running the “Tyco Update Utility tool” located in the System tray (Image 1) and selecting “Tools\ Repository packages (image 2 and 3) or alternatively the user can choose to right click on the NVR Icon in the “Victor Client Device list” and select “Check for Updates” (image 4).

Image 1

Image 2

Image 3

Image 4

The Tyco update Utility will provide choice of which handler to select and install while the check for updates option will install all available handlers located in the Repository folder.

The update process will stop and restart services as each individual handler is installed.

Update process can be monitored through the Victor Client “Activity Window” or from the

“System\Update Software” page of the NVR. The information under “Upload packages” will change as each package completes, retaining the last package uploaded information. As each

Handler is installed successfully the Device handler version number for the device selected to update will change to reflect the update.

1-3

General Purpose

Security Hardening- HTTPS

4.5 supports HTTPS connection with various brand of cameras.

Users can configure 3 Security Group’s in the Security page under Devices tab to the following security groups - Low (HTTP/Basic), Medium (HTTP/Digest) or High (HTTPS/SSLv3). The security group can also be kept as Default which will allow the camera handler to decide which authentication to use.

Once these Security Groups are configured, the user has the option to choose the level of security

(if supported) they prefer when adding their camera to the NVR or Hybrid and it should be noted that user will need to enable the HTTPS feature on their camera before adding to NVR or Hybrid.

Continual Support

General Limitations

• In NVR 4.2.0 or later, the NVR does not provide any GUI for PTZ operations other than enabling

PTZ and maybe Absolute Focus/Iris. Enabling PTZ only applies to Encoders, not PTZ Cameras.

• It is recommended not to configure cameras on multiple Recorders as this may impact on stream and general performance of the camera.

• It is advised to make all changes on the camera configuration (stream configuration and feature change) via the VideoEdge NVR GUI, unless specifically mentioned in these release notes.

• Some of our handlers will support a Generic model integration – the main aim of the Generic model support is to provide a single video stream to the NVR. All other features such as dual stream, audio, events and PTZ could be available depending on camera API, these are considered unsupported features under Generic status.

ACTi Corporation

ACTi Corporation

This version of the VideoEdge camera handler is fully integrated with the ACTi Corporation line of

IP cameras. ACTi has a number of API’s (Application Programming Interface) camera handlers to communicate with their cameras. This version of the VideoEdge NVR is fully integrated with the

ACM models (cameras using firmware version v3.13.16-AC) and TCM models (cameras using firmware version v4.11.09-AC). As ACTi continues to release new cameras to the market, the

VideoEdge camera handler provides a generic camera driver that can connect to any ACM or

TCM cameras not listed in the available camera list. The generic ACTi driver will gather the required information and present this to the VideoEdge NVR

Note

Each of the 8xxx cameras are comprised of four individual cameras housed together as a “single camera”. Please make sure you have sufficient camera licenses available with your VideoEdge NVR. When adding cameras to the NVR ensure that four camera slots are available (e.g. when adding three separate cameras the first camera should be added to slot 1 (this camera will use slots

1,2,3,4), the second cameras should be added to slot 5 (it will use slots 5,6,7,8) and the third camera should be added to slot 9 (it will use 9,10,11,12), and so on.

Model

Encoders

The VideoEdge camera handler is fully integrated with the AXIS communications line of IP cameras and video encoders. AXIS has number of API's (Application Programming Interface) camera handlers to communicate with their cameras. The VideoEdge NVR is fully integrated with the VAPIX® API Version 2 (cameras using firmware version 4.xx) and VAPIX® API Version 3

(cameras using firmware version 5.xx). As AXIS continue to release new cameras to the market, the VideoEdge camera handler provides a generic AXIS camera driver that can connect to any

VAPIX® 2 & 3 camera. The generic driver will gather all required information, including camera name and functionality, and present it to the VideoEdge NVR.

Pelco

This VideoEdge camera handler is fully integrated with the Pelco line of IP cameras. Pelco, generally, doesn't change the core API interface for their cameras. This VideoEdge camera handler is based on the Pelco API released on July 31, 2013. As Pelco continue to release new cameras there may be instances where specific Pelco cameras are not listed in these release notes.

Pelco camera handler will get the camera capability dynamically when the specific camera is being added to NVR, and determine whether the specific camera is supported or not. If the camera is supported, it will be added to NVR successfully.

Note

1.Some of the cameras with MPEG-4 format are not supported by Pelco handler though they may appear in the above Pelco developers' network link. For example, camera model series like

IP3701 and encoder models like NET5301T are not supported because both of these device types don't support dynamic query of device capability.


Samsung

VideoEdge camera handler is fully integrated with the Samsung communications line of IP. The

VideoEdge NVR is fully integrated with the cameras (with Samsung API TYPE1 and TYPE2 version 2.7.4). As Samsung continues to release new cameras to the market, the VideoEdge camera handler provides a generic Samsung camera driver that can connect to (compatible with

Samsung API version 2.7.4) cameras.

Camera Specific Release Notes

Camera Specific Release Notes

This section is a collection of camera release notes as provided with each camera release. This section provides detailed description for each manufacturer cameras, performance limitations and supported features.

17-1

American Dynamics 8 Channel IP Encoder

American Dynamics 8 Channel IP Encoder

Supported Key Functions

• Video Streaming – Single and Dual

• Video Codec – MJPEG, MPEG4 and H.264

• Audio Streaming – Audio Codec’s are AAC, G.711 ulaw and G.711 alaw

• PTZ – Applies to analog cameras that have mechanical Pan, Tilt, and Optical Zoom

• Dry Contact Events – Camera is polled for dry contact event at 100ms interval

• Reset to Factory Defaults

• Query Device

• Reboot Device

• Bitrate control now supported – VBR provides a quality drop down range and CBR provides a bitrate value option.

Required Ports

• Port 80 is for HTTP

• Port 554 is for RTSP

Default Username & Password

• Username: user

• Password: user617

Limitations

• Changing the video source requires a reboot of the encoder. During the reboot, the device will not respond.

• Changing the interlacing parameter requires a reboot of the encoder. During the reboot, the device will not respond.

• Changing streaming parameters like bit-rate, quality, frame-rate, key frame interval and others would require the stream to be restarted, hence a small glitch in play out might be observed during this time.

• Consecutive audio channel pairs should be configured with same codec otherwise RTSP will send a 500 message. Pairing as {PCMU,PCMA},AAC.

• Due to a limitation in the Encoder firmware, the QCIF video stream uses the 172x112 resolution.

• Pattern cancel feature is not support in consistent manner. If “Pattern Cancel” is selected via victor unified client, recorded pattern will be saved, overwriting the existing pattern.

18-1

American Dynamics 8 Channel IP Encoder

• “Focus” and “Iris” support has been removed, to maintain consistency, the “Auto Iris” feature is also disabled.

• When tilt is aligned at the zero-tilt position on the dome (where 180 degree can also flip occur), this may result in the camera continuously titling.

• It has been observed that CBR operation for MPEG-4 at lower frame-rate settings is blocky and full of artifacts. To improve the same, a constant quality settings operating as VBR is found to be more effective. This has been incorporated in the solution.

• Due to a limitation in the encoder, simultaneous PT and Z operation using the encoder on a camera is not supported.

• Due to a limitation in the encoder while operating in resolution QCIF, GOP settings 2 and in CBR transmission mode, it is possible to observe up to 50% frame drops depending on the complexity of input scene.

• Bitrate / Quality or any streaming parameter changes using the encoder webpage does not reflect or take effect on the already started or existing streaming session. Either the encoder needs to be restarted or the streaming session needs to be restarted for these parameters to take effect.

• ADEIP8H on rare occasions the MJPEG stream may send bad frames where the frame size is only several dozen bytes.

• Due to the new quality value is embedded in stream URL, quality does not update on camera web GUI after changed on NVR

• Due to the new bitrate value is embedded in stream URL, bitrate does not update on camera web GUI after changed on NVR

Note

Please refer to AD 8-Channel IP Encoder (M) and (H) Release Notes for additional information.

• When the camera is rebooted or codec changed, if focus is adjusted against a grey scene, it will take up to 30 seconds to go back to color.

19-1

American Dynamics Fixed IP Camera

• When changing codec from MJPEG to MPEG4, if the default bit rate is larger than 8000, an error message will be received when changing the video codec properties; the workaround is to change the bit rate to 8000.

Note

Please refer to AD Fixed Camera Release Notes for additional information.


American Dynamics Fixed Camera (Illustra 400 series)

American Dynamics Fixed Camera (Illustra 400 series)

Supported Firmware

• v2.20 or later


• Video Streaming – Single, Dual

• Video codec – H.264 and MJPEG

• Audio Streaming – G.711 ulaw and G.726, single stream only

• Dry Contact Events – is polled for dry contact event at 100ms interval

• Query Device

• Device Reboot

Required Network Ports




• Username:admin

• Password:9999

Limitations

• The camera will reboot when changing codec (audio or video), resolution, frame rate, key frame interval, video quality, audio volume, enable audio / audioin and any other audio / video properties. The reboots will take about 20 to 30 seconds.

• All audio and video streams will be lost when the camera reboots. All audio and video streams will then need to be re-established.

• When the camera is rebooting, video and audio properties may not be available to get / set new value.

• Due to camera internal resource contention, both profiles (streams) must have the same resolution. If profiles (streams) are set to obtain different resolutions the requested FPS will not be obtainable for MJPEG.

20-1

American Dynamics Fixed Camera (Illustra 400 series)

• To achieve optimal H.264 Motion Detection results, the recommended settings are:

• Stream 1 is H.264, 30fps, D1 or D2 resolution, default quality

• Stream 2 is MJPEG, 7 fps, CIF, default quality

• For some properties’ values are retrieved from camera itself (e.g. resolution, quality), that results in that when the user adds the camera, the return value is not the default value defined in the

NVR, but the actual value in camera.

• VideoCodecKeyFrameInterval is not supported by the camera handler, but the user can change it from the camera web page.

• For AudioInputVolume, the microphone input and line-in input have different ranges.:

• Microphone input:

• A setting of ‘low (1)’ is 20dB

• A setting of ‘high (10)’ is 26 dB

• Line-in:

• A setting of ‘low (1)’ is 6 dB

• A setting of ‘high (10)’ is 18dB.

• Due to camera internal resource contention, changing the resolution quality or bit rate may affect the frame rate performance. Please refer to camera limitation.

• Changing the video codec/audio codec may cause the RTSP service in the camera to stop, and the video/audio streaming to stop working, the workaround is to reboot or power cycle the camera

• With camera firmware v2.20, the FPS selections for the MJPEG codec from the camera web

GUI shows only "3,5,7,10,12,15,30" for NTSC and “3,5,7,10,12,15,25" for PAL. This, however, does not affect the FPS selections from the VideoEdge client, which remain supporting 1 - 30 for

NTSC and 1-25 for PAL.

• To meet the single stream fps, the user can enable dual stream on NVR, configure the stream codec/resolution/fps/quality for Stream 1 and then configure Stream 2 to lowest resolution/fps/quality. Once Stream 2 is configured the user can disable Stream 2 on the NVR.

Alternatively the user can access the camera’s web GUI settings to change stream 2 to the lowest/resolution/fps/quality.

• Illustra400 Camera will be ‘Unknown’ in NVR camera list after rebooting the NVR while the camera is offline. The workaround is to first create a password group with the password “9999”, then add the Illustra 400 camera with this new group, not the default group.

• Please refer to the AD Illustra 400 Camera Release Notes for additional information.

• The rtsp video only stream URL is rtsp://camera_ip:7779/primarystream rtsp://camera_ip:7781/secondarystream

• The rtsp A/V mixed stream URL is

21-1

American Dynamics Fixed Camera (Illustra 210, Illustra 600 and Illustra 610 Domes) rtsp://camera_ip:7778/primarystream rtsp://camera_ip:7780/secondarystream

• The end user can modify the port numbers via camera webpage.

• Handler will select one stream from camera, so the rtsp URL for MJPEG or H.264 can be either of these two URLs



• Port 554 is for RTP/RTSP


• Username: admin

• Password: admin

Limitations

• When the primary and secondary streams are configured with the same codec, changing stream on the NVR may change the opposite stream to the one you wish to change.

The Illustra 600 primary and secondary streams configuration will not necessarily reflect stream one and stream two on the NVR. The camera only identifies the streams by the stream codec (ignoring FPS and resolution). In some instances when NVR streams are both configured with the same Codec, changing one of the streams will not necessarily change the parameters on the specified stream.

• Illustra 600/610 camera only supports one 720P/1080P stream. If there is one 720P/1080P stream on the NVR, it is impossible to set another.

• If the secondary stream is enabled via the Camera Web GUI, the camera will keep streaming even when no user requires the stream. To meet the FPS set in the NVR, the other stream should be set to a lower resolution, quality and FPS. Please refer to the camera FPS limitation document.

• To meet the single stream fps, the user can enable dual stream on NVR, configure the stream codec/resolution/fps/quality for Stream 1, and then configure Stream 2 to lowest resolution/fps/quality. Once Stream 2 is configured the user can disable Stream 2 on the NVR.

Alternatively the user can access the camera’s web GUI settings to change stream 2 to the lowest resolution/fps/quality.

• Changing codec and/or resolution will cause the network service to reboot; this takes about 25 seconds. It will continue to deliver previous video/audio streams in the first 15 seconds. During this time, the camera will be offline. If the user refreshes the NVR web GUI, the properties will be

“unknown”, the camera may still be rebooting. If the video stream is not created successfully, the properties will show “unknown”.

• For some properties, values that are retrieved from the camera itself (such as resolution or quality), when a user adds the camera, the return value is not the default value but the value defined by the camera.

• NVR only supports audio in 8KHz.



• Illustra 600, add 720p and 1080p resolution for MJPEG stream, change the codec or resolution of stream 1 will report an error. Illustra 600 camera only supports one 720P/1080P stream. If there is one 720P/1080P stream on the NVR, it is impossible to set another. Please refer to the camera limitation.

• Auto Exposure switch appears to occur earlier than expected for 720p PAL and 1080p camera.

• The GOP of H.264 must be below 120. If the GOP is too big, several seconds are needed to create a key frame. This will cause a mosaic image effect when opening the NVR if it is not a I-

Frame. It is suggested to set the GOP size the same as the frame rate. On the camera, the default factory GOP is 30 for NTSC, 25 for PAL, it is not recommended to change this.

• When changing the FPS, the corresponding RTSP stream will restart. This may result in a minor video loss dependent on the GOP size configured, because the video needs a key frame.

• It is recommended to configure the camera within the camera FPS limitations. If the parameters exceed the limitations, the camera performance may be affected.

• Rebooting the camera to factory default can resolve the camera performance. Once this is complete, reconfigure the camera within the camera FPS limitations.

• NVR does not support changing the quality of H.264.

• Although the NVR does not support changing the quality of H.264, this can be managed through the camera web GUI. To support dual streams, it is recommended the interval between changing codec/resolution should be greater than 30 seconds. Otherwise the camera may keep rebooting.

• When changing the codec of steam 1 in an NVR that has dual streams, the error “unable to determine stream 2 – malformed request” will be reported. When the “back” button (refresh in the web GUI) is clicked, the codec will have changed to the configured codec. This is a limitation.

• If Motion Meta Data is enabled, changing codec/resolution of stream1 or stream2 after the camera reboots, the Motion Meta status will be disabled. This is a limitation.

• If the default exposure is configured on the Illustra 600 or 610, a 2 to 3 second video freeze will be experienced as the camera changes mode from day to night. When the available light caught by the camera lens drops sufficiently, the camera changes from Day mode (color images) to

Night mode (black and white images). This freeze is related to the time it takes the camera lens to readjust to the light difference when it is set to the default exposure rate and the effect on the

NVR as the mode changes over. A workaround for this is to increase the exposure setting. This is a limitation.

• For resolution/frame rate/quality limitation, refer to the camera FPS limitation document.

• Video and audio may become out of sync when navigating playback to specific times on the victor Client clips.

• If the codec on the camera primary stream is MJPEG, when this camera is added into a NVR, the camera will need to change the codec to H.264 and reboot. The camera will be offline for about 20 seconds

• Wrong video timestamp will make NVR create a lot of sessions and have a minor video loss in playback.

• If a user changes the rate control of an Illustra 210 model on the Camera Web GUI to VBR it may cause a pulsation effect on the H.264 stream when using default resolution, FPS and quality values. The Default for the Rate Control is CBR.

• On NVR 4.4 when the bitrate control is changed to CVBR, the NVR GUI will report an error message, please ignore as the change actually taken effect

• The Factory default values for the Illustra Camera models are:

21-3


•Illustra 210 = H.264, Maximum available Fps, D1

•Illustra 600 = H.264, Maximum available Fps , 1280X720

•Illustra 610 = H.264, Maximum available Fps , 1920X1080

• The camera will not add after password is changed and correct password group is selected. This issue happens intermittently.

• Any interruption to video stream on the I6x0 Minidome series (stream setting change, camera reboot or camera loss of power) will result on Edge Connection being interrupted even if it will still shows as active on NVR configuration. Just disable and enable the “Edge Motion Detection

Alarms” configuration by the NVR alarm tab will restore the connection.

• Setting up Edge Motion on the i6x0 Mini-Dome Cameras via the set up below (Scenario 2) may cause Edge Motion not to trigger correctly.Please follow the work around if you intend to set up your camera using Scenario 2. Otherwise you can use Scenario 1.

1 Scenario 1 - Motion Triggers

• Add camera as default Single Stream - H264

• Enable Edge Motion and configure NVR alarms page (assuming motion is already setup on the camera)

• Motion will always trigger

• Enable Stream 2 Alarm / Record as MJPEG (usually MJPEG, 7, CIF)


2 Scenario 2 - Motion does not Trigger

• Add camera as default Single Stream - H264

• Enable Edge Motion and configure NVR alarms page (assuming motion is already setup on the camera)


• Enable Stream 2 Alarm / Record as H264 also.

• Motion will not trigger.

• At this stage the camera is in a state. Even if you now change Stream 2 to

MJPEG, Edge motion will still not trigger.

Workaround for Scenario 2:

• After setting both streams to H264, go back to the Alarm Configuration page on the NVR

• Disable Edge Motion and Save

• Re-enable Edge Motion and Save

• Motion will now trigger.

Special Points

• Some properties are normalized to a percentage (1-100), but the real value in camera is a range from -127 to 128. This results in the values in the NVR not covering all values in the camera.



• When the camera is added to NVR, it is recommended not to change settings from the camera web page (especially video and audio) because the change may need to reboot the video codec and this will affect the NVR.

• When changing the video resolution, frame rate, quality, bit rate, audio codec, the code stream will reboot. At this time, the related property cannot be accessed.

• Resolutions on stream1 and stream2 cannot be changed at the same time.

• 610LT models have removed some functionality available in the 610 standard models. This removed functionality is IR illuminator support, SD card support, and TV input/output support.

• The Illustra 210 models have no support for Region of Interest, Face Detection and Pseudo

Multi Pass Encoding.

Limitations

• When a factory defaulted camera is added to an NVR, the default settings are: H.264, 7 FPS,

CIF. When the user wishes to change the settings they can for single streaming increase the

FPS and resolution to max and click Save. For dual streaming, user can enable 2nd stream by selecting Alarm or Record. They should change the codec to MJPEG and click Save.

• To meet the highest single stream FPS, the user can enable dual stream on the NVR, configure the stream codec/resolution/fps/quality for Stream 1, and then configure Stream 2 to lowest resolution/fps/quality. Once Stream 2 is configured the user can disable it on the NVR.

Alternatively the user can access the camera's web GUI settings to change Stream 2 to the lowest resolution/fps/quality. For some properties' the value is retrieved from camera itself

(resolution, frame rate, quality, brightness, contrast, sharpness) result in that when user adds the camera, the return value is not the default value defined in the NVR, but the actual value in camera.

• The camera will reboot when changing codec (audio or video), resolution, frame rate, key frame interval, video quality, audio volume, enable audio/audio in or any other video/audio properties.

Average time for reboot is 30 seconds.

• Changing the video/audio codec or resolution may cause the RTSP service in the camera to stop. With the camera failing to restart and set new streams, the workaround is to reboot or power cycle the camera and reset stream settings.

• All streams will be lost when camera reboots and be automatically reestablished on startup.

• When the camera is rebooting, NVR video and audio properties may not be available to get or set. Any changes made to these settings during reboot time will not be saved.

• In the NVR, under image settings the Video Standard will always display NTSC in the dropdown list, irrespective of it being NTSC or PAL. For PAL cameras, FPS will show 25 as max FPS.

• When the primary and secondary streams are configured with the same codec on the camera web GUI, changing stream on the NVR may change the opposite stream to the one you wish to change. Stream 1 and Stream 2 on the NVR will not necessarily reflect primary and secondary steams configuration on the camera. The camera only identifies the streams by the stream codec (ignoring FPS and resolution). In some instances when NVR streams are both configured with the same codec, changing one of the streams will not necessarily change the parameters on the specified stream.

• It is recommended to configure the camera to the cameras FPS limitations. If the parameters exceed the limitations, the camera performance may be affected. Factory defaulting the camera, and adding to an NVR can resolve this performance issue. Once this is completed, reconfigure the camera stream without exceeding stream limitations. Please refer to camera release notes.

• If the dual stream resolution/FPS is high, the video may be abnormal, a reboot or factory default may resolve this issue.



• Changing the resolution, quality or bit rate of either stream (even when second stream is not active) may affect the frame rate performance. Please refer to the camera release notes for additional information.

• It is recommended to only change one video codec parameter at a time to avoid stream corruption.

• Due to the 2 variants of FPS supported by either MJPEG or H.264, it is recommended to first only change the codec, and then change the resolution and frame rate, or the operation will fail.

• Video and audio are out of sync when playback in victor unified client while live view is sync.

• Wrong sequence number in RTSP video stream is received in NVR which causes missing frame.

• After soaking for 4 days, video disordered and large timestamp in video is observed. Normal interval is circa 5000 but 200000 is found.

• The NVR handler does not support VideoCodecKeyFrameInterval, but the user can change it from the camera web GUI.

• Jitter will be observed in live view via the NVR and victor, due to camera performance limitations.

This due to the camera taking more than 33 ms to send out the key frame. This does not happen in recorded video. Refer to camera release notes.

• RTSP and HTTP stream might be unavailable when user frequently change codec, resolution and FPS too quick. A waiting time of 2 minutes is recommended.

• i600 & i610:WW: When dual streaming with CBR set to 4M, when enabling motion detection and recording to SD card, FPS will drop to less than 10 FPS. This is due to a camera performance limitation. Please refer to camera release notes.

Special Points

• Do not add the same camera to more than one NVR.

• When the camera is added to NVR, it is recommended not to change settings from the camera web page (especially video and audio) because the change may need to reboot the video codec and this will affect the NVR.

• There is a jitter on H.264 streams if opening dual streams for Illustra 610 cameras. (Stream 1:

H.264,1920x0180 25 FPS & Stream 2: JPEG, CIF, 7 FPS). To improve performance, lower the

Frame Rate or resolution of the second stream.

• When changing between PAL and NTSC, the FPS will change as the same rule. The maximum

FPS will raise to 30 when PAL is set to 25 and changed to NTSC

• It may take 2 minutes when changing other FPS to 3 FPS. The reason for this is a mismatched

GOP and frame rate will cause a longer re-connection time due to waiting for another frame.

GOP size is much larger than Frame Rate, it may take a longer time for video to restart.

• Some properties are normalized to a percentage (1-100), but the real value in camera is a range from 0 to 255. This results in the values in NVR not covering all values in camera.

Limitations

• Illustra 625 PTZ:

• i625 NVR Image Settings - Auto Focus and Auto Iris values on the NVR GUI are only able to send a enable Auto command. These will not show current status of the feature. The user can set manual iris and focus on the victor live surveillance pane. To check status of auto focus/ iris users should use the i625 Camera GUI.

• i625 PTZ Day/Night controls are currently available on the camera GUI only.

• Dry Contacts and Edge Based Motion Events will always be sent by HTTP even when the camera is set to HTTPS.

• Illustra 825 Fisheye:

• The i825 Fisheye camera will not support NVR Heat Maps analytics feature.

• Edge Motion detection is supported on all streams (Fisheye, Panorama and

Active Image).

• The Illustra 825 Fisheye needs to be fully configured before being added to an

NVR.

• Changes to camera mount (changing between wall and ceiling), image source

(changing between Fisheye, Panorama and Active streams) and factory


American Dynamics Illustra 625 PTZ, Illustra 600/610 Compact Series Cameras, Illustra 825 Fisheye defaulting will require the camera to be removed from the NVR and added again. This is due to these actions changing number of video channels and their configuration.

• In order to allow the simultaneous fisheye, panoramic or Active Image views, the camera will be recognized as an encoder when added into the NVR. It will show up as either a 2 (fisheye + panoramic) or 5 (fisheye + active image) channel encoder depending on the stream configuration on the camera.

• The camera supports dual stream on active stream only - the secondary stream is limited to a single stream of MJPEG 7 fps at the same resolution as the main stream - when dual streaming, it is necessary to always update both stream or issues may arise.

• Due to a camera limitation it is impossible to enable motion detection on the fisheye stream.

• Due to camera behavior, when CBR bit rate is set to lowest in range (16) the camera will not stream video.

• Illustra 610 Compact MiniBullet

•

• Due to a bandwidth limitation it is advisable not to configure the camera to

MJPEG 30FPS 1080P. If this configuration is required it is advised to lower the quality to 50.

Known Issues

• Generic Function: The handler will attempt to auto detect most features such as VPA/LENS properties, PTZ/Focus/Iris/Audio/Dry-Contact capabilities.

• Illustra 625 PTZ and Illustra 825 Fisheye:

• It is recommended to reboot these cameras following a stream configuration – this will prevent a possible power loss to the units to cause stream configuration conflict.


• Active Image stream only: when changing video stream to MJPEG while on

NVR - the handler will automatically map it to the secondary limited stream - in order to utilize a high resolution/frame rate MJPEG stream for live view or recording, user can enable 2nd stream on the NVR first before switching 1st stream on the NVR to MJPEG. While on Dual stream the resolutions of both streams will need to be kept the same.

• When adding the camera manually to NVR the stream configuration will map 1-5 while if using NVR auto discovery it will map 0-4 User can manually edit names if necessary.

• When configuring i825 on NVR - When displaying via Device list in Victor - some cameras may show duplicate names - refreshing the cameras names a few times will correct this issue.

•

• Illustra 6x0 Compact MiniDome and MiniBullet:

• When corridor mode is configured on a camera streaming at a high resolution the camera will stream at half of the configured FPS.

• Corridor mode support: the NVR “Rotate Image” is limited to 0 ~ 360 degree.

Therefore rotating -90 degree with the camera in corridor mode is equal to

23-5

American Dynamics Illustra 625 PTZ, Illustra 600/610 Compact Series Cameras, Illustra 825 Fisheye rotating 270 degree in the NVR.This is because the NVR is trying to provide a uniform presentation for all supported cameras.

• Corridor mode support: QuickTime issue after Image Rotated: Quick Time should be able to display the 'corridor' image. However the user needs to restart

QuickTime by navigating to a different tab and restarting the live view. It is because the actual resolution has changed from 1920x1080 and it becomes

1080x1920 after rotation. QuickTime does not have the capability like Victor to auto-adjust to this resolution change.

• When the user adds a camera to the NVR the BitRate control values become unchecked in the camera GUI. This does not affect actual bitrate - what is requested from the NVR is still received. This also happens when changing Bit

Rate Control on the NVR GUI.

i625 & i825 MJPEG Usage Consideration

MJPEG video does not use any temporal compression but uses spatial compression. This makes its bandwidth requirements much greater than H.264.

General recommendation:

• Maximum Possible Quality Setting: 100

• Recommended Maximum Setting: 90

• Recommended High Quality Setting: 75

• Recommended Medium Quality Setting: 55

In addition to the above, MJPEG at high resolution and frame rate will use a very large amount of bandwidth. For high resolution, the following is recommended:

Special Points

• NVR Configuration Stream may fail when user is streaming live video on the Camera GUI and setting up streaming configuration on the NVR at the same time. It is advisable not to stream live video on the camera GUI while configuring camera streams on the NVR.

• Video live streaming on the camera web GUI may fail to start if the camera GUI is left open during the NVR configuration. User should log out of the camera then log back in again.

• Compact Mini-Dome and Mini-Bullet:

• The Compact Mini-Dome and Mini-Bullet use 'Stream Priority' for dual streaming. The resolution / fps of Stream 2 will be automatically lowered depending on the settings of Stream 1, to remain within the capabilities of the camera. If a user selects resolution / fps settings which are too high for the camera to accommodate, the NVR will disregard the user's setting and set lower resolution / fps on Stream 2.

It is advisable to first set Stream 1 to desired settings after adding the camera to the NVR and then setting Stream 2.

As the camera is always running 2 streams even when no user requires the secondary stream, to set single stream MJPEG with high resolution and fps, the user can enable dual stream on NVR, configure the stream codec/resolution/fps/quality for Stream 1, and then configure Stream 2 to lowest resolution/fps/quality. Once Stream 2 is configured the user can disable Stream 2 on the NVR.

• Compact Mini-Dome MJPEG stream is used at 1920x1080 resolution, fps 30 and Quality 70, the actual frame rate may be lower than requested. Some video stuttering may also be observed and the occasional video freeze. This is to due to the high bandwidth that the MJPEG stream uses. It is recommended to lower fps and/or quality settings to 50.

• Edge based motion detection event and will only be available for selection on the

NVR when motion detection feature is enabled on the camera.


• "llustra 825 Fisheye User can enable the PTZ through the NVR admin interface on Device List, open the camera configuration page, put a check mark on

23-7


"Enable PTZ" under PTZ tab and Apply. PTZ is only effective on active image streams.

• If 4.4 NVR auto discovery is run with API3 version prior to 4.4.0.18034 this will result on NVR changing i825 camera configuration to 5 active streams even if the camera is not added to NVR.

Illustra 825 Fisheye:

• Edge motion detection is supported on all streams (Fisheye, Panorama and Active Image).

• Edge metadata will only be supported on Active Image Stream.

• The user is required to configure and enable motion detection from the camera GUI before adding to the NVR.

• Edge based motion metadata and motion detection can only be enabled on a single channel from each camera. This feature is channel specific, if a change of channel is required user should disable all Edge motion settings on the NVR prior to changing settings on the camera

GUI.

• Edge metadata will only provide retrospective searches for the region of interest as specified on the camera MD region on camera GUI.

• When configuring a second stream/ metadata stream for the i825 it if configuring multiple channels - we recommend to enable these individually and not as a batch, and wait until each stream becomes available before continuing on to the next one.

Bandwidth Efficiency

Bandwidth efficiency has been improved for American Dynamics IP SpeedDome cameras running firmware version 2.0 or later.

The VideoEdge NVR will use an algorithm to control video quality according to the camera firmware version. If version is less than 2.0, the video quality will be altered by changing cameras quality value. If version is 2.0 or later, the video quality will be altered by changing the camera’s bitrate value. The conversion from quality to bitrate is:

Note

Since the NVR uses CBR to control bitrate, the bandwidth of H.264 and MPEG4 are the same.

This handler does not support VBR.

Limitations

• Only one audio stream (G711aulaw or G711mulaw) can be used at one time

• Dual video streaming supports H.264/MJPEG and MPEG4/MJPEG, but does not support

H.264/MPEG4.

• No PCM audio stream

• Unable to add an IP SpeedDome if it is beyond the IP broadcast range of the NVR

• If Auto Flip is disabled, then the amount of distance of tilt down will be larger when it is close to -

90 degrees than other positions.

• If Auto Flip is enabled, then the tilt down operation in NVR will lock the motor which make auto flip failure because the tilt down in NVR is not continues (e.g. moveBy) and the moving amount of distance is very tiny.

• Camera digital PTZ is not supported in this release. So it is not implemented normalization for digital PTZ part.

• In H.264 single stream, the maximum frame rate is 20fps @ D1 resolution @ quality 70.

• The maximum frame rate in dual streaming mode is:

• When codec is H.264/MJPEG:

•The maximum frame rate for the H.264 stream is 15fps @ D1 resolution @ quality 70, or 25fps @ 2CIF resolution @ quality 70, or



25fps @ D1 resolution @ quality 40; while the secondary MJPEG stream is 7fps @ CIF resolution @ quality 70

• When codec is MPEG4/MJPEG:

•The maximum frame rate for the MPEG4 stream is up to 30fps at any resolution and quality if the secondary MJPEG stream is set to 7fps @

CIF resolution @ quality 70. If the secondary MJPEG stream is set to

25fps @ D1 resolution @ quality 70, then the frame rate for the MPEG4 stream is up to 25fps @ D1 resolution @ quality 90.

• The zoom speed is fixed.

• Audio will not work unless it is enabled through the camera web interface.

• In victor, the Iris restore button does not work for ADIPDome Camera on victor Surveillance view.

Known Issues

• When using IP Dome firmware 2.0.0.645 for streaming H.264 only, users should not use rewind instant play back with victor client. Users should use Search and Retrieve, or don’t configure using a H.264 stream.

• The default values for some properties defined on NVR are different from camera’s default.

• The dry contact state always returns unknown.

• The definition of preset and pattern in NVR might be changed by user via web-client.

• The NVR will not recognize any presets or patterns already on the dome when it is added to the

NVR.

• The NVR will not recognize any presets or patterns added to the dome via its web interface and in fact the NVR may overwrite them.

• Preset and pattern definitions made on the NVR will be mirrored to the device, but not the other way around.

• Preset and pattern definitions should be retained in case of network loss or disconnection / reconnection.

• Preset and pattern definitions will not be deleted when the dome is deleted from the NVR.

• Clients should show only the presets and patterns that have been defined using the NVR (not all

96 slots, defined or not). Presets and patterns defined through the device web configuration will not be shown

• When using the settings H.264 codec, D1 resolution, 25/30 (PAL/NTSC) FPS and the quality is above 90, video will freeze when opening Live View.

• Iris restore button does not work for when using surveillance with victor.

• If the camera loses power or network connection, after coming back online the Dry Contacts will not trigger. A user must disable and then re-enable Dry Contacts on the NVR Gui (Go to Devices

‐ Alarms) to restore the event alerts. Other configuration changes (to codec, fps, resolution etc) do not affect the Dry Contacts.

The camera does not support dual stream when the resolution of the first stream is 2048x1536/2304x1296.

When the resolution of the first stream is 2048x1536 or 2304x1296, the maximum FPS is 12 on PAL and 15 on NTSC.

The handler is designed that the first stream codec is always H264 and second stream codec is always MJPEG.

Known Issues

You cannot edit "Edge Motion Detection" on

NVR alarm page of a camera which has

"Edge Based" video analysis enabled if another camera is located in slot 1 and is offline.

Work Around

After launching the NVR "Alarms" page, wait for camera 1 to display the "No video" image before selecting another camera from the dropdown menu.

Changing the first stream resolution back to

2048x1536 or 2304x1296 on dual stream mode, will not apply unless the second stream has first been disabled.

In order to enable the first stream with

2048x1536 or 2304x1296, the user must first disable the second stream.

ADCi800F

Series

All

On NVR, configuring the following maximium resolutions (2048x1536 or

2304x1296) the expected Maximum FPS settings available will be:

For NTSC the Maximum FPS = 15

For PAL the Maximum FPS = 12

The G711 audio is not synchronized with the video on local VideoEdge client. The audio is

0.5s faster than the video on live view

To obtain a higher FPS use a lower resolution than 2048x1536 or 2304x1296.

The audio and video are synchronized for download clip.

Special Points

• After the camera is added to the NVR, it is not recommended that the user changes any configurations from camera web GUI unless specified to do so.

• The camera will not add after password is changed and correct password group is selected. This issue happens intermittently. This is a NVR issue .

• There are 6 profiles on the camera web page, but the NVR only uses profile 1. Ensure profile 1 is set up prior to adding camera to NVR.

• After the camera is Factory Defaulted from the camera GUI, the RTSP authentication is disabled. If the user wants the RTSP stream with authentication, the user must enable RTSP authentication on camera web page before adding to NVR. (Setting Guide:Network Settings-

>RTSP->Authentication->Action).

• Before enabling "Edge based" (for Edge motion detection events) video analysis through the

NVR, you must first configure and enable motion detection, set the motion detection area and related parameters on the camera side.

• In the NVR, the codec for stream 1 will always be H.264 and the codec for steam 2 will always be MJPEG. If you require a single MJPEG stream, switch the "Live", "Alarm" and "Rec" to the second stream

• For the ADCi800F, in order to support both 1920x1080 and 1280x720 resolutions you must reduce the resolution of the second stream to set both cameras streams to 1920x1080 resolution and then reduce the second stream to 1280x720 resolution.

25-3


• For the ADCi800F camera, when the resolution of the first stream is 2048x1536 or 2304x1296, the camera only supports single stream. The following points must be considered as a result of this limitation: a After the camera is added to the NVR, the first stream works with 2048x1536 or

2304x1296, however there is only one stream configured on the NVR. To use two streams simultaneously you must set the first stream resolution lower than

2048X1536/2304x1296.

b If two streams are already live on the NVR, you are unable to change the resolution of the first stream to 2048x1536 or 2304x1296. To run the first stream on 2048x1536 or 2304x1296, you must first disable the second stream.

• For the ADCi800F camera, when the camera is set at PAL and the first stream is 2048x1536 or

2304x1296, the maximum FPS of the first stream is 12 on the NVR.

• Changing the video settings on the ADCi600F-W012 camera it may take up to 20 seconds for the stream to return if connected via wireless WAN. It may take up to 10 seconds if configured via a LAN.

Supported Resolution

All resolutions less than or equal to 1280x720 are dynamically acquired by the camera.

Limitations

• Resolutions larger than 720p are unsupported due to an incompatible algorithm used by the camera when the stream's resolution is larger than 720p.

• HUE feature on all cameras is unsupported, due to the manufacturer’s recommendation not to change HUE and not to use VIDEO_HUE command for ACTi cameras.

• Due to camera limitation, the actual frame rate might be higher or lower than the requested frame rate. (Please refer to ATP results).

• For some cameras, RTP stream is not enabled by default. The handler will enable it before creating the stream pipeline. Do not change the stream method while configured on the NVR.

• By default, the B2 header function of the camera is enabled, which is not supported by the NVR.

Therefore, the handler will disable this function when a camera is added to the NVR. Don't enable B2 header while camera is added to NVR.

• Dry contact active state in NVR is read-only, this cannot be modified.

• The scope of the image will be changed with a change of resolution, but the base pointer is neither the image’s corner nor center.

• The handler will use FPS as GOP. This is because when the camera streams on the RTP protocol, GOP is fixed to 0, which means 1 key frame per second.

• Due to the camera's FPS limitation. When single/dual streaming the FPS available is dependent on several factors e.g. a codec or resolution change may cause FPS on both streams to change.

• Due to the camera's limitation, camera will add to NVR with a lower FPS than supported. When adding a dual streaming camera to the NVR both streams’ codec will be set to H.264 highest resolution. Even if the second stream is not actively configured on the NVR, it is still affecting full

FPS performance on stream one – in order to extend stream one FPS the user is required to lower the resolution on stream two.

• The hander will restart the stream when the resolution or codec is changed, which may cause a video loss for a few seconds.

• The contrast in camera web GUI displays as 0-100, but the vendor asked us to support 1 to 100, so the contrast supported in NVR GUI is 1-100.

• Focus and iris functions are excluded from support, because all cameras do not support them.

However it is possible that future cameras will support these functions.

• WDR feature is currently not supported due to the related API VIDEO_WDR not working correctly on the official release.

• If the FPS is set to variable mode in the camera's web GUI, the NVR field for FPS will automatically become read only.


ACTi Corporation

• The ACTi generic camera driver will not support the following features:

• Image settings:

•Lens day/night mode

•Brightness

•Contrast

•Sharpness

• H.264 stream

• Resolutions larger than 720p are unsupported. Should a camera support a higher resolution, this will not be available via NVR.

Known Issues

• The TCM3511 has an issue with Reverse playback in the VEClient. The user will experience a stutter with the H.264 stream due to the first key frame being received every second.

• Interval between video frames (frame spacing) is not always stable, but video is not affected - no video freeze, stutters or pixellation have been observed.

• Due to camera stream limitations, in dual streaming a change in codec or resolution on one stream may cause another stream’s FPS to be changed. The handler is not able to force the

NVR camera details to refresh the web page, therefore, the displaying FPS may not be right.

Refreshing the web page will update the properties.

• The minimum FPS recommended for ACTi stream configuration should be above 3, due to FPS

1 or 2 causing the following issues:

• NVR and victor refresh frequently (including the Video panes refreshing)

• The time stamp interval between the nearest frames is incorrect

Error Messages

• Sometimes adding an ACTI camera onto the NVR may fail with a timeout message. This is caused by 1) APIs for codec and FPS work very slowly. Codec API may take up to 4.9 seconds and FPS API may take up to 2.5 seconds. Or 2) as specified by ACTI support, frequent API calls may cause the camera to work abnormally.

Resolution: Add camera to NVR again.

To avoid this issue, it is recommended configure camera as following before add to NVR:

ACM: @ MJPEG @Highest-Resolution @highest-fps

TCM: Dual stream @H.264 @ Highest-Resolution @highest-fps

• Restoring factory defaults may cause the camera to 1) crash; 2) NVR report timeout when adding it into NVR; 3) Camera to report “Please contact your provider. Error code: 00000001, other error” when trying to connect to the camera GUI.

Resolution: Hardware reset

• Camera may crash when POE/power cable are unplugged and plugged in again. When the issue happens, the camera's web GUI may display "01072915212: Rtsp:Error. Create socket

01072915214:Rtsp:Error. create socket".

26-3

ACTi Corporation

Resolution: Power Cycle first. If problem persists, carry out hardware reset.

• Sometimes the camera’s web GUI will report “Error: Streaming Engine is not running”, when the issue happens there is no stream given out. The camera can be restored after a manual reboot.


• Sometimes modifying contrast or saturation will cause the camera to crash, when this happens, the user may receive the following message on the camera’s web GUI: “Please contact your provider. Error code: 00000001, Other error”.


Special Points

• Do not factory default unless necessary, because sometimes it may cause many issues (refer to above known issues and limitations)

• Do not modify the camera’s root user name. This is because the NVR only supports a password change.

• Do not add one camera into two or more NVRs.

• When the camera is added to the NVR, it is recommended not to change settings from the camera web page.

• When the camera is added onto the NVR, do not turn off “stream on RTP” setting, this will cause camera stop providing a live RTP stream.

• When the camera is added into NVR, do not change B2 header setting, this will cause the NVR to be unable to parse the stream.

• Only constant FPS mode is supported in RTP streaming due to camera limitation.

• The NVR Video smoothing function is enabled on this handler because the NVR stream refreshes frequently when it is disabled.

• NVR will display 1 when the camera’s contrast setting value is 0. Refer to above limitation for detail.

• Handler had hard coded the camera’s connection count to 1. Because the connection count is missed in some cameras’ response data.

• Before adding a camera onto the NVR, it is recommended to set the settings as close as the handler defaults (H.264 / MJPEG 5FPS 1280x720) , otherwise adding action may fail with a timeout error. Refer to above known issues.

• Some cameras may not contain “-“ or “:” or spaces between the MAC address on the VE NVR properties page. This is only a cosmetic issue.


Arecont Vision

Arecont Vision


• The Arecont Vision AV8xxx employs four, two-megapixel cameras in 180˚ or 360˚ panoramic views. Models are available in a variety of options including H.264 or MJPEG video formats,

Day/Night, Heater/Blower, recessed or IP66 housings.

• Using the American Dynamics victor unified client, operators can view each image independently or combination of them in a multi camera view in victor.


• Video Codec – MJPEG and H.264 (Note: AVxxx0 models only support MJPEG)

• Query Device







• Username: admin

• Password: <no password required>

Limitations

• When Arecont cameras are added via NVR Auto Discovery, there may be issues with camera settings. It is recommended all Arecont cameras be added manually to the VE Recorders.

• It is advised that the user does not configure the same camera on two NVRs at the same time.

This is due to ssn accumulation in the streaming URL on the handler, therefore only one camera can be accessed by one NVR at the same time.

• The Arecont 10MP camera(AV10XXX),will not support NVR motion detection as its lowest supported resolution exceeds NVR limitations.

• Due to a Quicktime player limitation, for 10MP cameras, the video stream with a full resolution

(3648x2752) can't be streamed on the NVR web page.

27-1

Arecont Vision

27-2

• Streaming large amounts of data to Quicktime may cause a distorted image to appear. This is due to Quicktime or the network card on the host on which Quicktime is running, preventing large bit rate streams particularly during the start up of H.264 due to the bursting of all frames since the previous Key frame. This result may be a green/mosaic screen especially on motion scenes. This may occur for both live and historic playback on NVR and Victor client.

• The AV8xxx will be viewed with victor Client. Not all functionality is supported by the Web-Client.

• Due to a camera limitation, the actual frame rate may be lower than the requested frame rate.

• Due to a camera RTSP performance limitation, for AV8XXX series, the camera can only deliver approximately 2 FPS per lens.

• Due to an NVR performance limitation the max fps is limited to 30 for AV1115, AV1125, AV1315,

AV1325, AV2115, AV2125.

• For AV8XXX, AV20XXX models it is highly recommended to have all four inputs from the camera set to the same storage section in the VE-NVR. Mixing may cause mixed retention times for some inputs compared to others.

• In order to control bitrate of the H.264 stream the user can set quality levels via the NVR camera stream detail page. The bitrate will change according to a number of factors: complexity, light change and movement in the scene. In a scene with a lot of movement at the lowest quality, the bitrate of the stream will be higher than in a still scene at the highest quality.

• Due to a camera limitation, the bitrate and quality cannot be set through the camera's web interface. The bitrate and quality values have to be included in the RTSP URL for them to work.

• When upgrading the camera handler pack, note that the parameters of video streams may be changed to the default values. It is recommended to recheck video codec parameters when upgrading or restoring configuration backups.

• Due to a camera limitation, for Arecont cameras all MJPEG only cameras (Arecont: AVxx00,

AV8180, AV8360 - CBC: MP1A, MP2A, MP5A and MP8D-L4) will stream at a higher FPS

(reaching max FPS) when setting to 15FPS. FPS of 14 and lower are not affected by this issue.

• NVR 4.1 or above motion detection can only handle a resolution of 800x600 (or 800x592), not

1600x1200 (or 1600x1184) for AV8XXX cameras. (Maximum resolution for NVR to handle motion detection is 1280x960).

• Due to a camera MJPEG video stream non-compliance, motion detection might not work on some models.

• For AV8XXX cameras, motion detection can only be enabled if single MJPEG is set for every lens.

• VideoEdge NVR requires a minimum of four (4) frames per second to provide reliable motion search results. Due to the limitation of the Arecont Vision camera to produce two streams at the minimum frame-rate required for motion data generation video motion search performance will vary.

• The AV8xxx provides an option to "Equalize Brightness" across all four imagers. This will cause all the lenses to have the same brightness as the first lens. The VE-NVR camera handler has this value unassigned when cameras are added. If the camera has this value set by the camera's web configuration page the camera's brightness cannot be changed by the NVR.

• Due to camera performance limitation and network status, refreshing the camera list within the

Victor Client may take 0.1 to 1 second to get each property from the camera. In addition changes to properties on the VE-NVR may take 2 to 30 seconds.

• AV818X and AV2018X are 180° view cameras. Its layout is 4x1 and its sequence is "1,4,2,3".

Therefore to display a full view of 4X1, Victor Client should be used. In order to display all cameras correctly the images of input 1 and 2 are inverted 180° by default.

• AV836X and AV2036X are 360° cameras. Its layout is 2x2 and its sequence is "1,2,3,4" and has no rotate issue (all are the same).

• Different Arecont panoramic camera models may produce different bit rates for the same scene.


Arecont Vision

• Due to the camera firmware issue on AV8185DN, the camera stream may restart on the NVR.

• Due to a camera hardware limitation, for AV8185 and AV8365 cameras, the sensor size is

1600x1200, so the NVR resolution setting is 1600x1200, but it streams at 1600x1184

Known Issues

•

• NVR receiving H.264 frames with timestamp prior to last one received for cameras AV3105,

AV5105, AV8365, AV10005. (Arecont ticket: TECHSUP-20512)

• A number of Arecont cameras have been identified as having firmware issues where cameras may unexpectedly stop sending Frames for a short time (3-7 seconds). In some instances this will trigger a lost video alert. Cameras where this issue has been observed are AV3115DN,

AV5125IR, AV8185DN. (Arecont ticket: TECHSUP - 15613.

• AV8185, AV10005 series - observed 7 seconds of video loss on camera stream several times this is a firmware issue. (Arecont ticket: TECHSUP-15751).

•

• For some properties' the values are retrieved from the camera itself (e.g. resolution). When an

Arecont camera is added to the NVR, the return value is not the default value defined in the

NVR, but the actual value in camera.

• For Arecont's MJEPG version cameras, the D/N camera does not return suffix DN for the model.

So NVR will not get D/N option.

• On Internet Explorer, if changing the default user name and password, the camera may not be accessed successfully.

• Due to camera firmware defect, the camera does not return the full model name, the NVR cannot support the daynight and auto Iris settings for all the Arecont cameras. The settings can be configured in the settings via the camera web GUI. (Note: Please refer to the Arecont Vision

Camera Release Notes published by Arecont Vision for additional information.)

• On the AV8185 camera, the camera continually rebooted itself during daytime hours. This was caused by the NVR smoothing mechanism.

• Higher video bit rate may occur under low light conditions, which may cause video loss.

Special Points

• It is recommended when the camera is added to the NVR, not to change any property parameters on camera web GUI.

• Arecont only support two resolutions, one is half, the other is full, and we will convert it to width x height according to the actual picture size.

• MJPEG over RTSP is not supported.

• Video Codec Properties are all set to DB. The properties on the camera web page are not used, and these settings are for default stream fetching by web.

• Internet Explorer may cache the history data, if Internet Explorer is used to get the properties of an Arecont camera by the direct URL (such as http://<ip>/get1?brightness), a page refresh should be used to get new data.

• Brightness and sharpness are retrieved from the Arecont camera GUI. There for if the user changes the value on the camera GUI it will change the values displayed on NVR.NVR's value

27-3

Arecont Vision range can't cover all the values of the device.Camera's range is -50, 50 and NVR's range is

1,100. The normalization will be: -50,-41 to 1,10 and -39,50 to 11,100. -40 is not normalized.

When the value is read from camera, it is normalized to 11.

• The range of image quality for H.264 is (17, 36). And the normalization are: 

• Arecont default has blank username and password. Users can use any password or username to access the camera. But if the password has been set to user admin or viewer, users should use correct username and password to access the camera. Only by doing "Factory default" can set the password to be blank. (NOTE: a blank password does not mean ZERO length string. If user empties the password input in camera's web page, and saves to the camera, still means there is a password set.)

• The VideoCodecKeyFrameInterval is the same for all 4 lenses. The default value is set to 30 by the handler and the camera's default value is 51. (NOTE: the panoramic camera's register address for key frame interval setting is [3:100] not as the individual camera's [3:21]. The setting value is the p frames number between I frames, not containing I frame. (For example, if user wants to set key frame interval 30, the http command should be http://<cameraip>/set?page=3&reg=100&val=29))

• Models AV8185DN or AV8365DN retrieved by http://<cameraip>/get?model has a "DN" suffix after the digital model value, i.e. 8185DN or 8365DN, while single lens DN cameras return only digital model value without "DN" suffix, for example, AV3105DN camera returns 3105, not3105DN. User can get the model type with "DN" suffix by http://<cameraip>/get?model=fullname(Confirmed by Arecont supporter). Anyway, what is displayed on NVR should be a full model type, which means DN camera should have "DN" information in camera model type.

• For H.264 stream, using default bitrate=8192 Kbits and qp=24.

• For saturation range from camera to NVR, its mapping relationship is:

For cameras that claim to support absolute and auto focus but fail to provide minFocus and maxFocus (the focus range), the NVR web page (Image Settings ->

Lens/Sensor) will display the Auto-Focus option but will not display the focus range when Auto-Focus is disabled.

The AXIS 215 is an example of such a camera.

Older versions of the AXIS handler may have set the

“exposure”, “input gain”, “WDR” and other parameters on some AXIS cameras to invalid values.

The camera’s web interface can be used to determine whether the camera parameters have been set to invalid values. Click “Setup->System Options->Advanced-

>Plain Config” and then select the appropriate parameter group (image source, PTZ, etc). The invalid values will be displayed but will be appended with “(not supported?)”. The AXIS handler will also see the “(not supported?)” in the parameter value strings it reads from the camera. If any invalid values are found then use the camera’s web interface to change invalid settings to valid settings.

After an AXIS camera has been disconnected from the network, it can take up to 22 seconds to raise an alarm and attempt a reconnect after the dry contact connection to the device is lost. However, the loss of the video stream from that camera will be detected within a few seconds and an alarm will be raised.

If the camera’s own web GUI is used to rotate an image

(instead of using the NVR web client “Image Settings” screen) then the change does not take effect on existing streams until an FPS or resolution change causes the stream to be destroyed and recreated. It is recommended to use the NVR web client “Image

Settings” screen to rotate the image because that will cause the stream to be destroyed and recreated.

If the customer needs to change the active state of a dry contact input then it should be changed before adding a corresponding alarm sensor otherwise an alarm/alert may be caused as a result of changing the active state.

H264 VBR bitrate settings are not supported or available on the NVR. If the VBR bitrate settings have been changed via the camera web interface, the settings will not impact the NVR configured streams.

The AXIS API does not provide the same functionally across different cameras. When lens WDR property set to “1”, the AXIS camera’s wide dynamic range settings will be set to “on” for some cameras and for others to

WDR”3”. Setting to “0” will turn all to “off”.

If the MJPEG quality level is set to 100 at high resolutions

( 1920x1200 for example ) then live viewing problems ( high latency, momentary loss of video, etc) may be observed in a Victor Client surveillance screen if that workstation is also trying to live view using the NVR web client. To avoid the problem, either reduce the quality level or reduce the number of live viewing clients that are running on the workstation. Also the FPS provided by the camera may drop dramatically as a result of increasing the quality level to 95 or higher.

The Axis M3204 and other models that have the exposure setting at “automatic” (default) will reduce FPS to improve image quality when poor lighting conditions occur. To avoid the FPS reduction when the lights are turned off in the room being viewed then change the exposure setting from “automatic” to “hold current” however the consequence is that the image quality could be very poor (dark).

A frame rate drop or a brief video loss may occur at the moment that lights are turned off in a room being viewed when receiving MJPEG from Axis Day/Night cameras. To avoid the problem, either use MPEG‐4 or H.264 to receive the stream.

The NVR Web client allows selection of 8 Kbps audio bit rate and AAC Audio Codec but not the audio sampling rate. Selecting the 8 Kbps audio bit rate setting will result in a loss of audio if the sampling rate is 16 KHz or higher.

Use the camera's own web interface to change the audio sample rate to 8 KHz if the 8 Kbps audio bit rate is selected. This limitation occurs on Axis cameras that support AAC Audio Codec and the 16KHz (or higher)

Audio Sample Rate. Please refer to Axis camera documentation for details.

After enabling dry contact inputs, ensure that LAN connectivity to the camera is maintained otherwise frequent NVR event log messages will be generated about failed attempts to re- establish dry contact event streams and an infrequent reload of the Axis handler may occur due to a race condition flaw in libcurl version

7.21.3.

When configuring “Edge Based” Motion Detection and

Metadata, the motion area should be configured on the camera before adding to the NVR.

Edge Based Motion Events and Edge Based Motion

Metadata Streams are only supported when “configure included windows” radio box is selected on camera web interface.

Edge Based motion detection may only be available when there is at least one H264 stream enabled on the device.

Axis cameras allow up to 10 motion detection windows to be configured on the camera GUI. The NVR does not detect these different windows and detects Edge Based motion detection from the first motion window on the camera GUI.

When enabling motion detection via the camera GUI in order to use “Edge Based” motion detection, the sensitivity may need to be increased in order to gain precise detection results.

MJPEG codec does not support 5MP (2592*1944) or

3MP (2048*1536) resolution due to a RTP limitation which the victor/web client player use – These resolutions have been removed from the NVR resolution list.

Setting stream configuration on the NVR does not reflect on the camera interface whilst NVR stream settings are not impact by the camera interface. When camera is added the user should configure stream settings on the

NVR.

Due to camera performance limitations, some Axis cameras cannot reach the FPS set on the NVR especially when dual stream is configured. Please refer to camera documentation.

Audio volume increment can be set in increments of “3”.

Current implementation does not incorporate the volumes “mute”, “auto” or non-integer values therefore such volume will be default to 0 when the camera is first added to the NVR.

The audio bitrate 24Kbps is not supported for G726 codec. It is recommended to change the G726 bitrate to

32Kbps before adding the camera to NVR.

The audio AAC bitrate range of Axis camera varies according to the sample rate. As NVR does not support this audio sample rate some bitrate options will not be supported on NVR which are supported by the camera.

The NVR FPS range does not change according to video standard or power line frequency set on camera – it will always give options 1-30. For cameras which are set to

PAL or 50Hz power line frequency, the camera maximum is 25 FPS

VLC/QuickTime does not support codec G726 audio when trying to playback exported clips with G726. If necessary, victor player can be used to play G726 audio.

White Balance settings are not supported on this Axis handler.

If streaming audio via the G726 codec, to decrease the level of loud noise it is recommended to lower the camera audio input gain via the camera GUI. (setup -> audio settings)

As Auto-Iris is enabled by default, in order to adjust IRIS+ and IRIS- through Victor, the Auto Iris checkbox must be disabled via the NVR webpage. The Victor surveillance window needs to be refreshed (drag camera back in surveillance pane) in order for the Iris panel to be updated with this change.

Due to an Axis API limitation, Patterns are not supported on this handler.

Input/output settings should be configured on the camera before adding to the NVR, if these are required for NVR integration.

Digital PTZ is not supported on this handler.

When using search and retrieve on Victor to search for a

“Motion Detection” scene, in order to get maximum results, it is recommended to set the “amount of motion” and “duration” to “0.”

Edge Motion detection from 4.4 onwards will show on the

Victor Client using the name of the motion event as set on camera GUI – default name used on camera is “[0]

Default window.”

Due to limitation in the Axis Encoder PTZ support, AD

Ultra 8 analog PTZ presets are not supported on Axis

Encoders.

When working with Axis encoders the number of Presets is supported at: a 32 for Pelco analog cameras. It is known from Axis that this is a Pelco driver limitation (Axis ticket

317074).

b 20 presets on M7001 encoder (Axis Encoder limitation) c 50 for Bosch analog cameras

Preset capabilities for the UltraDome 8 analog cameras do not function properly with the Axis encoders. This issue is not limited to the Victor Client; it occurs when trying to add/select/delete presets through the Axis web interface itself as well. This is an Axis encoder issue. As

AD Ultra 8 analog cameras do not support presets, they can be added on NVR GUI and victor client, but do not function when executed.

The original NVR requires Axis cameras to have absolute

PTZ capabilities in order to support PTZ presets. Since

Axis tech support guarantees that their encoders will support preset functionality even if the absolute PTZ is absent, the fix will always enable the preset support for all Axis encoders as long as the PTZ is enabled both in the NVR and the Axis encoder.

5 An attempt to add a preset to AXIS encoders (with AD

Ultra 8 analog PTZ camera) will result in a “Error: query not implemented” HTTP error being returned in response to a “http://<ipaddress>/AXIScgi/com/ptz.cgi?query=position&camera=1” HTTP request. The reason for this is that the Sensormatic driver for the AD Ultra 8 camera does not allow the position to be queried. The parameter list retrieved from the encoder will report that absolute pan, tilt, zoom is not supported.

6 The number of presets allowed is capped at 50 for the victor Client. When working with encoders, only the first

32 presets function properly. Axis documentation claims each channel can support 100; however this does not appear to be the case.

For Pelco analog cameras added to M7001 will produce shaky video and video loss(Axis Encoder limitation - Axis Ticket

317173).

The victor client activity window shows an unexpected extra offline entry and online entry for the AXIS 207W camera after it has been disconnected and then reconnected. This second offline/online entry is due to an apparent flaw in the AXIS 207W camera.

1 Q1755 without PT head installed will still show up as a

PTZ camera in NVR. However, none of the PTZ functions will work. This limitation could apply to all cameras that have built-in PT/PTZ head support.

2 An attempt to add a PTZ preset for AXIS Q1755 fails because the getPositionSync method returns “Not supported” error as a result of the AXIS Q1755 not returning pan and tilt position info when PTZ position is queried. The zoom position is returned but not the pan and tilt position. Since the Q1755 cannot pan and tilt without the motor accessory then perhaps the need to set presets for zoom only is not critical.

When an AXIS 240Q or 241Q four-port encoder is added to the

NVR, camera slots will be created for all four ports regardless of whether the encoder inputs are receiving analog signals. If an analog signal is not preset, black video will be received by the

NVR and recorded / streamed to viewing clients. To conserve

NVR disk space and reduce network traffic, the camera slots associated with the unused inputs can be deleted from the NVR but they cannot be added again unless the entire encoder is deleted and re-added.

The latest firmware (4.47) in the AXIS 210A camera and some other VAPIX 2 camera and encoder models have a flaw that limits the FPS of MJPEG streams to the FPS of an existing

MPEG-4 stream until the MPEG-4 stream is destroyed. For example, if the configured FPS of two MJPEG streams is 20 FPS and 5 FPS and the FPS of the MPEG-4 stream is 15 FPS then the actual FPS of the MJPEG streams will be 15 FPS and 5 FPS until the MPEG-4 stream is destroyed. Similarly, if the MPEG-4 stream is 1 FPS then the actual FPS of the two MJPEG streams will be 1 FPS. A workaround is to ensure that the FPS of an existing MPEG-4 stream is greater that the configured FPS of the

MJPEG streams. Another workaround is to update the AXIS firmware to an latest version (4.48 for example ) which does not exhibit this symptom.

When using /AXIScgi/com/ptz.cgi?camera=1&areazoom=<int>,<int>,<int less than

100> AXIS API to zoom out on AXIS 214 PTZ camera, the zoom position will reverse to maximum zoom in when the request causes a zoom out to go beyond the widest zoom out position.

This, according to AXIS technical support, is a bug within the

AXIS 214 PTZ camera (v4.40). The above mentioned API is used by NVR Web client and VE API to perform PTZ Nudge operation.

An AXIS VAPIX 2 camera will momentarily disrupt an MPEG-4 video stream as a result of changing the audio codec which causes the NVR to stop/recreate the video stream. During recorded playback by Victor Client, a blank image appears for a very short period at the point in time where the audio codec was changed.

The zoom speed on AXIS 233D is fixed.

AXIS Q7406 does not support PTZ positioning query. Hence

NVR will not be able to obtain autofocus and auto-Iris status.

1 Due to AXIS cameras limitations the NVR is not able to use the same HTTP connection for multiple PTZ functions, which might result in higher PTZ latency.

2 Due to camera behaviour the Iris settings of the camera changes very slowly, the NVR web page needs to be refreshed in order to be updated with this change.

AD Ultra 8 analog PTZ are not supported on Q7406, 241Q and

243Q

AXIS 212 can’t pan or tilt if the camera is in full zoom out mode.

AXIS 212 can’t zoom out stop near full zoom distance and cannot set to full out.

Stream settings should be configured before enabling Motion

Detection.

The NVR web client provides no control for changing the “capture mode” of an Axis P1346 camera and other megapixel cameras.

Therefore it may be necessary to use the camera’s own web GUI to set the desired capture mode to enable the use of associated video resolutions. After changing the capture mode, it will be necessary to refresh the NVR web client camera details page to select from the currently available resolutions.

Q1910,Q1921

M5013, M5014

P8221

AXIS Communications

If an Axis P5522 PTZ camera is not receiving sufficient power for its PTZ operations then it will disable the PTZ motor and remove the PTZ.Limits and PTZ.Support parameter groups from the camera parameter list. As a consequence, no PTZ controls will be available in the NVR web client and Victor Client for that camera. The symptom may also occur when other PTZ camera models receive insufficient power.

The default palette setting of an Axis Q1910 or Q1921 thermal camera can only be changed by using the camera’s web interface “Setup -> Video & Audio -> VideoStream -> Image

Appearance.Palette”. Changing the default palette has no effect on established streams. The NVR uses whatever the default palette is when the stream is established. After the customer changes the default palette then it is necessary to destroy and recreate the stream received by the NVR. The stream can be destroyed and recreated by simply using the NVR web client to change the video frame rate.

The Axis M5013 and M5014 have a single speed PTZ movement therefore the camera PTZ movement is affected only by the interval between the start and stop commands from Victor Client, not the speed values in the start command. The consequence is that PTZ movements may be larger than desired. Refer to QC

9770 for more details.

Although there are two dry contact inputs on NVR web page, the second dry contact input is used for the PIR sensor and therefore cannot be used as a dry contact input alarm source.

1 Adding M3007 to the NVR will add up to 6/8 streams. As this camera has a maximum FPS of 12, adding too many streams would cause FPS to decrease further. When all channels are added to the NVR, the FPS decreases - deleting some of the streams will increase FPS on the remaining configured streams.

Changing image settings on one channel on the M3007 will be applied to all channels.

If the M3007 camera mode is set to “wall mount” 6 channels will be added to the NVR. However, if the

M3007 is set to “ceiling mount” 8 channels will be added to the NVR.

If required, The rotate image should be set on camera before adding into NVR.

If there is frame loss overnight, it may cause a quick flicker to occur during video. Downloading the video clip will not show any video loss.

If frame loss is experienced overnight, it may cause a few second video freeze.

On the NVR, Edge Based Motion Detection/Edge Based

Meta Data can only be configured on channel 1 – the

Overview/Fisheye channel. This is because the camera itself configures motion detection on the

Overview/Fisheye stream; which adds to the NVR as stream 1

If running a sequence overnight, it is recommended to use a

FPS>5 setting. If saved at a lower FPS, any frame rate drops may cause the video to freeze during sequence run.

Should a camera become network disconnected for an extended period of time (More than 12 hours) the NVR may not receive edge based motion events/ dry contact events. If this occurs it may be necessary to disable and re-enable dry contacts and edge based motion detection again via the NVR interface.

The maximum FPS changes according to how the camera is configured. See camera user manual.

The “Mount Type” is not shown on NVR.

Due to a camera firmware issue, after restarting the camera, channel 8 restores to default settings.

Stream settings should be configured on NVR before enabling

Edge Based Motion Detection. Once added to the NVR and enabled, changing the settings may cause video stream lost. If this issue occurs, the camera must be removed from the NVR, factory defaulted and re-added to the NVR.

Limitations

• Due to a camera limitation, the handler can only support one MJPEG stream. If a second

MJPEG stream is enabled, the NVR will produce an error message.

• Bosch camera supports two H.264 streams. Handler default stream is H.264 stream1. Due to camera limitations, H.264 stream 2 resolution depends on H.264 stream1 resolution.

Note

H.264 stream 1 and stream 2 refer to H.264 streams from the camera corresponding with the camera encoder profile1 and profile 2, not streams 1 and 2 on the NVR.

From the table above, the resolution on both H.264 stream 2 and MJPEG stream must be equal or less than H.264 stream 1. This means, when changing H.264 stream 1 resolution to a smaller one, ensure it is equal to or less than the resolution on both H.264 stream 2 and

MJPEG stream.

• Due to a camera limitation, if the user starts MJPEG stream or H.264 stream2 with HD resolution, please make sure H.264 stream 1 resolution is equal to or higher than the resolution on MJPEG stream or H.264 stream 2.

• Bosch has implemented the CGI to get the Camera Type instead of the Model name labeled on the camera. So the Camera Type is shown in the model list on the NVR.

• Bosch cameras do not support changing the Video Standard, only viewing the Standard. Bosch cameras have 3 Video Standards: NTSC, PAL and HD. If the camera video standard is HD,

“UNKNOWN” will be displayed on the NVR Camera Image Settings page.

• When setting up Dry Contacts on NBN-921-P IVA serials and NBN-498 serials, it is necessary to activate the Alarm Inputs on the camera GUI first. Users must change the Active dropdown list value from 'None' to 'N.O.' or 'N.C.' on the camera, as 'None' means disabled and this does not automatically change when Dry Contacts are activated on the NVR.

• Due to a camera limitation, for Bosch Dinion HD 1080P D/N IVA, if the users sets stream 1 codec H.264 and 30 FPS, stream 2 codec H.264 then the streams can only reach 10 FPS, due to stream 2 being dependent on stream 1.

• Handler supports Generic functions including dual stream and audio stream with the following limitations:

• Cameras need to provide three streams, including two H.264 streams and one

MJPEG stream. So the handler can support dual H.264 streams or one H.264 stream and one MJPEG stream.

• Resolution list includes HD resolution (1080P and 720P) and SD resolution (CIF and 4CIF), but cameras may only support one or several of them.

• Audio codec G711 can be supported by the audio stream, other codecs are not supported.

• It is found that different camera firmware versions can return different camera types. This causes the handler to recognize the camera as Generic camera. Please ensure the Bosch camera has the recommended firmware version before adding it to the NVR.

• Due to camera limitations on the AutoDome Jr 800 HD, it supports single H.264 stream when the resolution is set to 1080P or 720P 50 (PAL)/60 (NTSC) FPS on H.264 stream 1, and H.264 stream 2 is only a copy of H.264 stream 1 when 1080P is selected for stream 1. It supports dual

H.264 streams when resolution and FPS are set to 720P and 25 (PAL)/30 (NTSC) FPS or below, and H.264 stream 2 can be set to 4CIF and CIF resolution.


Bosch

• Due to camera limitation, when setting 1080P for MJPEG stream on the Autodome Jr 800HD, it is shows 1920x1072.

• If observing some delay in live and recorded video on Victor Client – we recommend configuring the settings on camera GUI as:

Go to Settings/advanced/camera/encoder profile/Profile 1/Expert settings:

• GOP structure = IP

• Iframe distance = set slider to the same FPS value configured on the VE NVR.

• Due to a camera issue for some Bosch cameras, for example Auto Dome Easy II IP, the camera has an interlacing issue when using 4CIF resolution. In order to resolve the issue, the camera must be set to CIF resolution (on both the camera GUI (Settings/advanced/camera/encoder profile/Profile 1/Video resolution ) and VE NVR video stream configuration.

Known Issues

• The FPS is only 2.75 when MJPEG streaming (25 fps) is in use. It is a known camera limitation.

Confirmed with Bosch support that for most of the Bosch cameras FPS can only reach up to 5

FPS.

• Audio and video is not synchronized with MJPEG stream on victor client. This is due to the

MJPEG stream limitation on the FPS only reaching a low rate.

• When setting Brightness and Contrast on the NBC-265-P, it returns an error message. This is because it uses different CGI from other cameras, so these properties and functions are not supported.

• Frequent Video Loss for Bosch Dinion HD 1080p D/N IVA is caused by the default NVR storage setting. The recommended mount option when setting up the NVR is: nofail,noatime,nodiratime,attr2,nobarrier,noquota,allocsize=4M

• GOP structure should be set to “IP” prior to adding cameras to NVR. Failure to configure this setting may cause videoloss or issues with victor playback.

•

• If the network connection between the NVR and the camera drops and then established again, this may result in the camera/device not restarting correctly. The camera should be restarted

• Due to an NVR web client known Issue, when Stream 2 is enabled with the same codec as

Stream 1, the setting is a copy of the Stream 1 settings. But Bosch dual H.264 stream support has a different resolution list. So when the client applies, it shows and applies a different resolution value on Stream 2.

• Due to the NVR web client known issue, when setting the resolution for the second H.264 stream, set it on the advance edit page. This is due to the fact it is a copy setting of H.264 stream

1 on camera list page with editing status, and real available resolution may not be included in the copy of the resolution list.

• Due to camera known issue, for Dinion HD 1080P D/N IVA camera, set resolution 4CIF

(704x480) on H.264 Stream 1 and 768x432 on H.264 Stream 2, then the user only can get an actual resolution 704x432 for H.264 Stream 1. And set resolution 768x432 on H.264 Stream 1 and 4CIF (704x480) on H.264 Stream 2, user can only get actual resolution of 704x432 for

H.264 Stream 1.

• There is a green line at top of victor Unified Client live stream on Bosch AutoDome Jr 800HD.

This is a camera issue.

• Playback video stuttering when rewinding/forwarding the H.264 video from AutoDome 800 Jr.

The camera setting is: NTSC, H.264, 1920x1080, FPS=30. Camera's firmware version is

39500570.

29-5

Bosch

Special Points

• Bosch camera has 8 profile configurations on the web page, and each profile may configure a set of codec parameters. Handler specifies H.264 Stream 1 on camera to profile Configure 1 and

H.264 Stream 2 on camera to profile Configure 2 and the MJPEG stream on camera to profile

Configure 3, so when the NVR sets stream codec parameters, the parameter is written in the special profile configured.

• Changes to codec parameters should only be made on the NVR web GUI and not the camera web page as they may not be implemented.

• The ranges of Brightness and Contrast are 0-255 in Bosch cameras. The Handler converts this value to 0-100 using the following formulae:

Camera to NVR: Camera(brightness/contrast)*100/255

NVR to camera: NVR(brightness/contrast)*255/100



• When adding the camera to the NVR, the GOP structure must be set to "IP" in profile configure of the camera web page, so the FPS value is usable.

• When enabling audio stream on NVR for all Bosch cameras, ensure audio is enabled on camera web GUI.

• Some cameras may not contain “-“ or “:” or spaces between the MAC address on the VE NVR properties page. This is only a cosmetic issue.

Limitations

Note

Refer to Limitations stated for Arecont Vision as they also apply for CBC products.

• The CBC MP2 model and other CBC models may not be discovered via the auto discovery feature. The CBC cameras should be added manually.

• Due to a NVR limitation, motion detection only handles resolutions of up to 1280x960 for

AV1XXX, AV8XXX, AV2100, AV2105 and AV2110, motion detection can only handle resolution as half.

• Due to a camera limitation, for CBC cameras all MJPEG only cameras (Arecont: AVxx00,

AV8180, AV8360 – CBC: MP1A, MP2A, MP5A and MP8D-L4) will stream at a higher FPS

(reaching max FPS) when setting to 15FPS. FPS of 14 and lower are not affected by this issue.

• When upgrading to latest camera handler pack, note that the parameters of video streams may be changed to the default values. It is recommended to recheck video codec parameters when upgrading or restoring configuration backups.

Known Issues

Note

Refer to Known Issues stated for Arecont Vision as they also apply for CBC products.

• Live view and playback streaming (instant playback) on the NVR does not "pace" delivery of large amounts of data well, causing overflows in network buffers at the VEclient. This issue is more noticeable when using higher bitrate cameras and will cause skipping in live video and playback on the VEclient. For video retrieval on higher bitrate cameras it is advisable to search and retrieve the clip, this will display the recorded video without this issue.

• NVR receiving H.264 with timestamp prior to last one received. This is a firmware issue. Beta firmware has been received from Arecont and resolved the issue, awaiting formal release

(Arecont Ticket: TECHSUP: 15516).


CBC

Special Points

CBC model cameras with firmware version 62414 will be configured as their Arecont equivalent, also taking the Arecont model. In firmware 64238 CBC model cameras will be identified as a

CBC model, but for codec parameters. CBC model cameras still correspond with Arecont model cameras.

Special Points

• This handler will support Edge device Motion Detection and Alarm output directly from the camera.


Dahua

• User needs to enable Edge based motion detection on the camera WebGUI before enabling on the NVR

• Camera Audio and Dry Contact will need enabled on the camera prior to enabling these on the

NVR, as the handler cannot directly enable these features

• The Camera handler will report an incorrect Bitrate range of 1 ~ 32000 Kbps (camera issue) its suggested user refers to camera WebGUI to determine correct supported bitrate range

(1~24000 Kbps). If an incorrect Bitrate is set via the NVR the camera will retain the previous valid bitrate setting and may not display the correct value on the NVR GUI

• On the NVR "Function & Streams" page, Stream 1 is associated to camera's "Main Stream" profile; Stream 2 is associated to camera's "Sub Stream" profile.

• Camera is set to auto-reboot for 60 seconds by 2:00AM everyday by default setting (this will result in a 60 seconds video loss), however this can be disable in camera WebGUI.

Limitations

All

HDB3300,

HFW3202C

Limitations

Stream 2 (MJPEG) quality may be reduce automatically when dual streaming at high resolution.

Reason: Camera limitation

MJPEG quality will not display on NVR web page however camera will not support it - to control MJPEG use camera web GUI Bitrate setting.

There will be periodic frame loss when dual stream is enabled with these settings (H264

25fps/1080P + MJPEG 25fps/D1 +audio).

Work Around

User can control Bitrate in the camera

WebGUI to ensure the MJPEG's image quality is acceptable.

Lowering MJPEG will prevent a high loss of

FPS

HFW3202C

Limitations

When camera is set to dual stream, user will observed missing frame during test due to low FPS.


FPS will drop and mosaic image will be observed when user triggers Dry Contacts.


FPS for both codec will be reduced when dual steam enabled.


Due to camera limitations the resolution settings available depend on the bitrate settings configured.

See recommended settings for H264.

MJPEG bitrate settings cannot be changed via the VE NVR.

For Codec H264:

Recommended Bitrate settings for a good quality image – please configure as required:

For Resolutions at 4CIF the best bitrate is

4096 as set by NVR GUI.

For Resolutions at 1280 X 720 Bitrates should be set to 8192 as set by NVR GUI.

For Resolutions at 1280 X 960 Bitrates should be set to 8192 as set by NVR GUI.

MJPEG bitrate settings should be set via the camera GUI before adding the camera to the NVR.

Issues

Camera issue whereby the PTZ pan/tilt controls would sometimes turn unresponsive on the D

Series cameras.

Produced on the camera GUI itself.

The updated FLIR cameras with

Camera Firmware version ww1.4.1 has the NTSC/PAL

Suffix removed from the camera.

Camera resolution 176x144 is no longer a resolution option on the

NVR for the F-Series camera.

This is due to the new Camera

Firmware ww1.4.1 which does not support this resolution.

Root Cause & Resolution

Camera issue which FLIR have created a patch for in ww1.4.1 Compatibility Patch firmware which resolved the issue in Nexus

Server 2.5.17.14.

Please ensure the

“Tyco_VE44_Compatibility_patch” is installed on top of the ww1.4.1 firmware.

The handler has been updated to reflect the extension removal as part of the camera firmware release: ww1.4.1

The suffix extensions has also been resolved by the ww1.4.1 Compatibility Patch.

The 176x144 resolution has been removed from the VE NVR resolution list.

Known Issues & Limitations

Known Issues

Issue

There are issues with PTZ on both PT/D-series models on local client on the VE Hybrid whereby the camera will occasionally freeze when PTZ controls are being used

Camera limitation:

Dual streaming H264/H264 or

MPV4/MPV4 gives an error message; "Could not updated stream 1 video codec"

This is expected behavior due to the Camera limitation for

Supported Codecs.

Description

The camera may freeze for a few seconds during PTZ movement on either the IR/DLTV lens.

The camera does not support H264/H264 or MPEG4/MPEG4 combinations.

Therefore the NVR will provide an Error message as expected when a Users tries to configure these settings.

Comment

This only happens on local client. The issues may be caused by slow decoding speed on local client.

Due to the VE NVR VE API limitation, the NVR Web Gui will show all three resolutions on the 2 nd

Stream.

However only MJPEG is supported on the second stream and so only

MJPEG as the second stream can be used for dual streaming.

Issues with MP4V configuration for Single and Dual Streaming.

If a User tries to configure the

MPV4 Stream for Single or Dual

Streaming Configuration the settings may not apply.

Description

The camera does not support H264/H264 or MPEG4/MPEG4 combinations.

Therefore the NVR will provide an Error message as expected when a Users tries to configure these settings.

MPV4 codec configuration for Single or

Dual Streaming may not configure correctly.

Comment

Due to the VE NVR VE API limitation, the NVR Web Gui will show all three resolutions on the 2 nd Stream.

However only MJPEG is supported on the second stream and so only

MJPEG as the second stream can be used for dual streaming.



Configurations & Resolutions

Users are recommended to limit the codec settings to H264 and MJPEG.

Users are not recommended to use

MPV4 codec for Single or Dual

Streaming configuration.

Please refer to the table below on the

Limitation on Configuring on MPV4

Codec for Single or Dual Stream(s)



Configurations & Resolutions.

Resolution list on the VE NVR is not correct for the second stream

(MJPEG).

Users should only open one preset control at a time

On device list page for D-324 the firmware is showing as 2.5.13.3 instead of 2.5.16.0 which is reflected on the Camera Web

GUI

Due to changes to the supported resolutions of 2 nd stream on both

IR/DLTV Lens, unsupported resolutions appear in the resolution list for the second stream.

When adding/editing presets on IR/DLTV lens, user must close the preset controls on the other lens.

Cosmetic issue from the camera.

Camera issue: Cosmetic issue from the camera sending the information to the VE NVR.


FLIR

Camera Limitations

IR/DLTV lens for all D/PT/F-series cameras support MJPEG only as 2 nd stream. This is due to the change in Camera firmware version ww1.4.1

D/PT/F series cameras only.

The camera GUI video profiles work as following to reflect the different streams:

• Video 0/1 refers to stream 1 and 2 of the IR video.

• Video 2/3 refers to stream 1 and 2 of the DLTV video.

In some cases due to camera limitations, the First and

Second stream profiles may not support the same Codec,

FPS and Resolution. When editing such streams on VE NVR this may perform a stream swapping, where a swap of the stream index may occur. This will cause VE NVR to swap stream 1 (which should usually index to the primary stream) to a secondary stream profile which will have specific limitations.

This swap cannot be detected by the VE NVR camera configuration page so both streams will give full configurable video configuration options.

With cameras which have both an IR and DLTV lens, any changes on one stream will cause the camera to go offline on both streams for the new settings to take affect.

On device list page for D-324 the firmware is showing as

2.5.13.3 instead of 2.5.16.0 which is reflected on the Camera

Web GUI.

Camera resolution 176x144 is no longer a resolution option on the NVR for the F-Series camera. This is due to the new

Camera Firmware ww1.4.1 which does not support this resolution.

When streaming codec H264 at a low FPS/resolution, the camera does not stream a clear image; It may appear grey or black on Victor. After a while the image may appear as normal.

Camera Limitation

The FLIR cameras with Firmware version 1.4.1 will only support MJPEG as its second stream. This is the only second stream codec that the FLIR camera supports.

Therefore the supported dual stream combination on

VE NVR is:

• H264/MJPEG

• MJPEG/MJPEG

• MPV4/MJPEG

Any other combination is NOT supported by the camera and the NVR will produce an error message stating; “Could not update stream 1 video codec.”

The following are the Video Profiles and supported configurations:

Video 0: Configurable H264/MJPEG/MPV4 IR stream

Video 1: Non-Configurable MJPEG IR stream

Video 2: Configurable H264/MJPEG/MPV4 DLTV stream

Video 3: Non-Configurable MJPEG DLTV stream

For example for FLIR Cameras, Stream 1 supports 3

(h264/MP4V/MJPEG) codec but the Second stream only supports 1 (MJPEG) codec, the handler would try to do its best to maintain a stable resource to stream mapping. In some cases, the mapping may switch between Stream 1 and Stream 2. When the codec is selected on the first stream which supports

H264/MPV4, stream swapping may occur causing the first stream to fail streaming H264/MPV4 codec as

H264/MPV4 is not supported on the second stream.

This is expected behavior of the camera as the Nexus

Server restarts when stream settings are saved.

Camera issue: Cosmetic issue from the camera sending the information to the VE NVR.

See table below stating the Supported Dual Stream

Configurations & Resolutions.

This is a camera limitation as the camera does not stream when configured to these settings.

Limitations on configuring MPV4 codec for Single or Dual

Stream(s)

In some cases due to camera limitations, the First and Second stream profiles may not support the same Codec, FPS and Resolution. When editing such streams on VE NVR this may perform a stream swapping, where a swap of the stream index may occur. This will cause VE NVR to swap stream 1 (which should usually index to the primary stream) to a secondary stream profile which will have specific limitations. This swap cannot be detected by the VE NVR camera configuration page so both streams will give full configurable video configuration options.

For example for FLIR Cameras, Stream 1 supports 3 (h264/MP4V/MJPEG) codec but the Second stream only supports 1 (MJPEG) codec, the handler would try to do its best to maintain a stable resource to stream mapping. In some cases, the mapping may switch between Stream 1 and

Stream 2. When the codec is selected on the first stream which supports H264/MPV4, stream swapping may occur causing the first stream to fail streaming H264/MPV4 codec as H264/MPV4 is not supported on the second stream.

Description

This issue relates to

MP4V configuration.

This issue occurs if cameras only support a subset of

H264/MJPEG/MP4V on camera 2 nd stream.

Note: The latest

FLIR firmware (ww

1.4.1) only supports

MJPEG on camera stream 2.

Occasionally, changing codec from

H264/MJPEG to MP4V on NVR will not result on an actual stream configuration change in the camera. 

1

2

3

Live view may not occur after camera re-boot after user applies the codec change to

MPV4 via NVR’s Camera

Configuration Page.

Root Cause

Camera handler provides camera Stream ID to NVR based on the availability of a specific camera stream

ID. Camera handler doesn't have any knowledge of the associated NVR stream ID.

Stream swapping may occur within Videoedge system in the background as design.

In the case when FLIR camera handler requests

MP4V on camera stream

2, thee camera will return

"permission denied" as error . This is because

MPV4 is no longer a supported codec on camera stream for the latest FLIR camera firmware (ww1.4.1)

1

2

As a result, the codec change selected by user is rejected by camera. User will notice that Live

View will not come back as expected after camera reboot.

Recommend

Workaround

User is recommended to limit the codec settings to H264 and MJPEG.

If User have selected MP4V for any reason and finds the camera rejecting the change request, the User may try to re-add the camera to VE NVR and reconfigure camera to the desired stream settings.

ONVIF

ONVIF

The ONVIF Camera Handler will allow the NVR to be compliant with the standardization initiative for IP-based video cameras defined by ONVIF Profile S Specifications [1]. ONVIF Profile S

Support Status Table Illustrates the level of compliance currently supported by the ONVIF handler.

By complying with these standards, the NVR should be able to communicate and interact with the majority of ONVIF Profile Scompliant IP-based cameras.

It should be stressed that each camera must be preconfigured before being added to the

NVR.

The configuration will be on a camera to camera basis, with the minimal configuration consisting of an IP address and username/password ranging up to various different settings (eg dry contact settings) which may require a camera unit reboot in order for the new settings to take effect.

Once the ONVIF camera is added to the NVR the Comms field will be populated with

'ONVIF'. If there is a native handler for the camera this will be populated with 'Native API'

The appendix outlines the specific configuration steps required for one particular camera i.e. the HikVision Speedome camera.

ONVIF Profile 2.2 S

The ONVIF 2.2 Profile S standard consists of a number of mandatory and optional features regarding video and audio streaming, multicast, PTZ and event/metadata support.

The mandatory features are further subdivided into two areas: a Profile Mandatory Features - these are guaranteed to be supported between a device and client that are both conforming to the profile.

b Profile Conditional Features - these shall be implemented if the device or client supports the feature.

All of a) and a large subset of b) are supported by the NVR ONVIF handler.

None of the optional features are supported by the NVR ONVIF handler.

Verify the username/password group of the camera is admin/admin a For the Illustra cameras, default username and passwords are acceptable for the handler communication b Other vendor cameras will need an administrator account created or modified through the cameras web interface

Verify video streaming consists only of video, or Video and Audio to also enable audio (not video + audio multiplexed together)

Reboot the camera for settings to take effect

Add the camera to the NVR

Note

Onvif devices must be added manually to the NVR using this procedure as they cannot be added using Auto Discovery


ONVIF

Limitations

The ONVIF standard can be interpreted in slightly different ways by the various manufacturers who provide ONVIF enabled IP Cameras. The NVR ONVIF handler has been written to accommodate these differences but it’s been necessary to devise a number of configuration guidelines to aid with supporting an ONVIF enabled camera.

Camera Feature

IP Address

Username

Pre-Configure Camera Settings

User must pre-configure an IP address

NVR attempts communication using a suitable native handler, followed by ONVIF handler

Multiplexed Video/Audio

Dual Streaming

Dry Contacts

Auto Iris/Focus

User must pre-configure the "admin" user account and add their new password to the

NVR password group before adding the camera to the NVR.

User should ensure the audio (if supported) is available as main stream which is the default setting Stream Type setting.

For Dual streaming the user should preconfigure the camera to determine the codecs/frame rates and resolutions the primary and secondary streams are capable of providing.

Some cameras may require a unit reboot to take effect of new settings

Normally these must be enabled (if supported) via the camera's web page and may entail a unit reboot

If a camera supports the Iris and/or Focus features then these settings can be either set to auto or manually adjusted within Victor GUI.

However, disabling the auto feature is only supported in the NVR web GUI. Therefore, if the user is manually adjusting these settings then the auto Iris and/or Focus settings in the

NVR GUI image settings page must be disabled.

CBC


Dry Contacts and Presets - zero or one based issue.

Some ONVIF camera manufacturers have different offsets for dry contacts, presets etc.

Some use zero-based indexing, while others are one-based. The NVR allows the user to fine tune the appropriate numbering offset on a per camera basis.

Unable to add CBC cameras via the ONVIF handler to the NVR.

Initial investigation appears to point to a timing issue, taking too long to respond (>5 secs) to onvif queries and timing out.

Recommendation - Use the generic CBC native handler

Onvif cameras cannot be discovered using Auto Discovery. These cameras should be added manually.

When Hikvision cameras are added via NVR Auto Discovery, the device list will not show camera information. These cameras should be added manually using the “Configuring a

Camera for ONVIF Communication” steps which are highlighted above. Adding the device manually will show this camera information.

When the user adds a camera to the NVR the latter will first attempt to use a native handler to establish communications. Failing this it will revert to the ONVIF handler (if this also fails the user will be unable to add the camera) a If the user has incorrectly typed in the password or assigned an incorrect password group the native handler communications will fail even if there is a suitable native handler available. In this case it's possible that the ONVIF handler will be employed

(assuming ONVIF authentication is disabled). If there is a native handler available then this is probably not what the user wanted ie the native handlers are normally more feature rich.

Each NVR native camera handler maintains the camera's user account name (username) eg for brand XYZ the username could be “root123” - the user then only has to specify a password via the NVR web GUI. Given the range of different manufacturers providing

ONVIF cameras it's not possible to identify a common username. Therefore the NVR

ONVIF handler requires the user to create a common user account on each ONVIF camera. The common username and password for the NVR handler is defined within the handler as admin/ADMIN respectively. 

The user should create (or update) a user account directly on the camera with username = admin and the password can be anything they choose. They should then create a new password group via the NVR GUI and use this group when adding the camera to the

NVR.The admin user account should optimally be configured with full admin rights in order to access the full range of ONVIF functionality (where supported).

Some cameras support a maximum of 2x ONVIF VideoEncoderConfiguration profiles

(VEC) e.g. HikVision's Speeddome and bullet cameras. In general each VEC can be modified, assigned or removed from an ONVIF media profile: however, ONVIF does not support the creation of VEC entities, which means (for these cameras) there can only be at most 2 distinct media streams served out by the camera. 

For example, if the camera supported 6x concurrent streams then up to 6 clients could receive video but there would be at most 2 distinct media codecs/resolutions/frame rates etc.

Frame Rates - The HikVision camera models investigated here have a limitation with regard to their advertised frame rates. The frame rates available through the camera web page range from 1/16, 1/8, ¼, ½, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25 FPS. The frame rate available through the ONVIF protocol comes in the range min - max eg 1 - 25


ONVIF

7

8

12

FPS. If the user attempts to configure an invalid FPS e.g. 7 the HikVision will accept the next lowest value (6 FPS) but the web GUI will display 7 FPS.

The ONVIF Handler does not support patterns. It does however support presets.

Resolutions - The HikVision camera models also display a limitation with regard to their advertised resolutions. The cameras maintain two media profiles, the primary profile and a substream secondary profile. For the H264 codec the primary profile can support the larger resolutions "1280x720" and "1280X960" only, whilst the secondary profile can support "704x576", "352x288" and "176x144". 

An ONVIF query to determine the range of resolutions for the H264 codec will return the full list of resolutions. When the user attempts (via the NVR web GUI) to configure a second H264 dual stream they will be presented with the full list of resolutions but in practice the second stream can only support the 3 lower resolutions values. If the camera rejects an illegal resolution the NVR will roll back the resolution to the previous value (if configured previously) 

The user should refer to the camera's web page to accurately determine the appropriate res7)

Codecs - Another limitation with the HikVision camera concerns the codec. The HK bullet camera has two VideoEncoderConfigurations (VEC). The main VEC is hardcoded to H264 and cannot be modified. The substream VEC can support either H264 or MJPEG but the user has to modify the VEC via its web page to the desired codec and reboot the camera unit in order to effect the changes. This has serious implications for the ONVIF handler. 

The user could choose to modify the codec type through the NVR web GUI and the change would be successfully propagated to the camera - there is no provision within

ONVIF to determine if a configuration change on the camera should be followed up with a unit reboot. The net result is the user is unable to configure the codec via the NVR web

GUI for these type of cameras but there will be no warning or error message.



The recommendation is for the user to pre-configure the camera via its web page (where possible) and allow the NVR web GUI to automatically provision the second stream (eg during the setup of motion detection alarms) 

Note that Bosch cameras return a Payload Type Number=35 for codec=H264. The gstreamer pipeline within the ONVIF handler cannot support this (assumes H264 codecs will belong in the dynamic range[4] 96-127). The pipeline could be modified with the addition of a caps setter element to modify the PT on the fly but this would be a limited workaround. The Bosch camera will however stream MJPEG correctly to the ONVIF handler.

Dry Contacts/Digital Inputs -These must normally be enabled via the camera's web page and the unit rebooted in order to take effect (see appendix)

Depending on the camera manufacturer, the event ID (which controls preset and dry contract) may either be 0 based (event count starts with 0) or 1 based (count starts with 1).

Our handler is unable to identify which offset the camera is using. We always assume that the camera uses 1 based offset for Dry contacts. As a result, for any cameras that are 0 based event ID, when activating Dry Contact 1, it will actually appear as Dry Contact 2 on victor client

We always assume that the camera uses 0 based offset for Presets. As a result, for any cameras that are 1 based event ID, when activating Preset 1, it will actually appear as

Preset 2 on victor client.

Limitations

1.The model prefix of every Panasonic camera is irrelevant when it is added to the NVR. For example, a Japanese model "DG-SC385" is expected to have the same characteristics as the world wide model "WV-

SC385".

2.Fractional frame rate settings are not supported in the NVR.

3.NVR web GUI allows the Sharpness/Brightness/Saturation (under

Image Settings, Video Properties) to be changed. If the value is changed and saved then the new displayed value may slightly differ from the value that was saved. That slight difference is expected behavior. The difference is due to the conversion of a 0 to 100 value to a different range value that is actually stored on the camera. For example, the actual sharpness (or aperture) range on the camera could be 0 to 31 or 0 to 63.

4 4.A cache mechanism has been used to cache many properties of the camera (The setting under Image Settings). The cache is updated only when the last updating time exceeds 300 seconds or after some camera properties have been changed by NVR client. It's not recommended to modify the camera settings directly on camera web GUI.

The camera models which can support either H.264 with MJPEG or support MPEG-4 with MJPEG must be switched between those modes using the camera direct web interface.

Note that with certain models, an audio stream occurs as part of either an

H.264 or MPEG-4 stream, The audio stream will fail if the video-stream format is switched off. It is best to settle on a video encoding format before the camera is added to the NVR.

Due to the performance limitation of the multi-codec models which can support MJPEG with either H.264 or MPEG-4, while streaming MJPEG with H.264 or MPEG-4 simultaneously, the camera might not deliver the requested frame rate. Please refer to the Panasonic product catalog for details.

4 To achieve the best available frame rate for MJPEG, the camera web interface must be used to ensure that the H.264(1) and H.264(2) streams are set for transmission off, and similar for cameras in MPEG-4 Video encoding format. For cameras which send audio over a low-bandwidth video stream, such as SW352, SW355, SC384, and SC385, this also requires the audio to be disabled. Even so, due to processing and bandwidth limitations, some camera models may not deliver the maximum listed frame rate when streaming MJPEG at the maximum resolution

(especially at a high video-quality level).

A change in the audio bit-rate can take a long time for a response in the WV-

SW355 (and perhaps other models) for unknown reasons. The bit-rate change request can be successful in which case the audio configuration page for the camera will display after 10-12 seconds displaying updated bit rate value. Bit rate changes may not be successful due to various timing constraints. In this case there would be an error message - “Failure to set Bitrate = XX for audio input”.

(Whereby XX = 16 or 32) Further error messages: “Device handler internal error” or “No VE Text response after waiting 5000 milliseconds” may display

Some cameras have an Auto-Focus function that can be triggered, such as the

SC386, using the Image Settings Lens/Sensor properties web-page. The Auto-

Focus check box does not show the current auto-focus status and will always appear as unchecked; the check box can just be used as a button to trigger one time auto focus.

For some cameras whose highest MJPEG resolution is 1280x960 or higher, when using MJPEG if a high quality setting is used while using the highest resolution, it results in streaming at a very high bit rate. This results in problems with Quick time playing out the stream, as there is limitation of playback of streams with high bit rate. However VLC seems to play it out normally. Solution is to use lower quality settings or enabling the Traffic Smoothing in NVR Dynamic Bandwidth page.

Due to the camera limitation, the bitrate for these models does not update on camera web gui after changed on NVR.

Due to the camera limitation, the quality of MPEG4 can't be changed. Changing of

MPEG4 quality from NVR web page will not take effect and the quality value will always be 50.

Generic camera handler provides video (single stream only), audio and events. No

PTZ functions are supported.

Known Issues

For the models that support both of H.264 and MPEG-4 codecs, they can't support these codec simultaneously. The real currently supported codec needs to be explicitly set at the camera.

If audio bit rate is modified while streaming live in victor client, live audio may become corrupt; re-adding the camera to the live view pane will fix this issue.

If the camera supports PTZ then there will be no relative focus or iris supported

By default, the MPEG-4 capability is turned off programmatically. This will effectively disabled the audio capability, since the Panasonic handler utilizes

MPEG-4 stream for audio streaming.

MJPEG frame rate can be reduced if customer manually enables the MPEG-4 capability directly through the camera's web interface.

Max frame rate for dual streaming is 15fps for VGA and 10 fps for QVGA.

For single video stream, when the resolution is 1.3 mega pixels, the maximum frame rate for H.264 is 30fps. When the resolution is 3 mega pixels, the maximum frame rate for H.264 is 15fps

These cameras support two aspect ratios 4:3 & 16:9. MPEG-4 is not available when 16:9 is selected

When either H.264 or MPEG-4 transmission is set to On, the maximum frame rate for MJPEG is 5fps

It is not recommended to use audio with these models, due to the camera limitation on the number of RTSP session. Using audio might result in losing live video. At very low frame-rate settings for MPEG-4, i.e. 1fps - 3 fps it has been observed that the actual frame-rate is much lower, between 0.5 fps - 1.5 fps. It is recommended to use higher frame-rate settings in these models.

In order to enable all four patterns, user needs to change the pattern setup by camera web GUI, otherwise only part of the patterns can be used.

In MPEG-4 mode, while streaming at more than 2048 Kbps these camera models only support 1 effective stream in RTSP (Documented in "Function list of camera_encoder.pdf" from Panasonic or Section 8.1 in "CGI Common Ref

Panasonic_Network_camera ver1.35.pdf"). Any access to camera web GUI while using the camera in NVR might result in an error message "Too many concurrent session" displayed on camera web GUI. This shall result in display of blue screen instead of the actual video. Selection of MJPEG in camera web GUI should restore the video. Because the audio stream is also attached with video stream, the audio may be always inaccessible in this case.

Due to a Camera limitation, Patterns cannot be cancelled during its set up phase.

The "X" button is recommended not to be used in this case and the user should instead use the Stop button. If the user does click on the "X" button, the user should wait till the counter counts down to zero. The user can then add the pattern again using the start and stop buttons

Due to camera limitation, the pattern learning process cannot be cancelled and stopped during adding a pattern via Victor client. User can do subsequent pattern operations until the learning process completed.

It has been rarely observed that the camera may reboot, when creating/editing a preset or pattern operation with Victor client.

Due to the camera limitation on its API, the active statuses of the second and third dry contact are not available. They are just showed as "NA" on the NVR web page.

In Victor client, if user does a quick nudge of the pan/tilt button, the pan/tilt will keep on moving until it reaches its axis limited

During PTZ control on the ST165 the motor will cause a lot of noise via the internal mic, The audio output will be muted automatically by the camera at that time. User can either use the external mic and/or disable this muting feature via camera web page. Refer to the camera operation manual for the details.

It has been rarely observed that there may be 5 seconds of video loss on the

MJPEG stream of these cameras due to the camera firmware issue.

Due to the camera limitation, the Back Light Compensation setting will automatically become 0 after changing the Wide Dynamic Range.

In rare cases SW314 PTZ details page on NVR web GUI may wrongly display the

"Enable PTZ" button. After refreshing the page, the button will disappear.

This camera will only support one stream configuration for these codec across all streams. It means that changing the stream configuration of any one channel will affect all channels. If the dual stream of H.264 or MPEG4 is enabled, changing one stream configuration will affect another.

This encoder will only support a single audio stream which out handler will associate with the first channel.

Due to performance limitation, Panasonic limits the stream by number and bandwidth, to avoid stream loss it is recommended to lower the codec bitrate on the camera GUI

Though the encoder supports 256 presets, only 255 presets can be set by Victor client this is a victor client issue to do with the video overlay.

Due to the slow response from the camera, the active status of some of the dry contacts will appear as "NA" on the NVR web page. If the web page is refreshed then the normal status will show.

Encoder firmware v1.36 does not support Pelco-P protocol. Therefore it is recommended to upgrade to encoder firmware v1.40 which support Pelco-P protocol.

The default Pan/Tilt speed Panasonic provided in the Pelco-D protocol file for

GXE500 is relatively slow. It is recommended to change the speed in the protocol file before uploading the file into Encoder. Please refer to the Panasonic GXE500

Installation Guide for details.

Due to the camera limitation, the quality of MPEG4 is always ‘Normal’ and can’t be changed. So changing of MPEG4 quality from NVR web page will not take effect and the quality value will always be 50.

Special Points

• The handler will ignore the model prefix of every camera. So for example, "WV-SC385" and

"DG-SC385" will be regarded as the same camera with same features. Currently four prefixes have been seen for Panasonic cameras, they are WV/DG/WJ/BB.

• It is recommended when the camera is added to the NVR, not to change any property parameters on the camera web GUI (unless specified on the release notes)

• When a camera is added, the default video codec will be H.264 if it is supported by the camera and selected as the Video encoding format on the camera-direct web-page. If not, then

MJPEG will be used to establish the first video stream. If not, MPEG-4 will be used if it is available.

• For the cameras that support pattern, the supported pattern count is based on configuration of the camera which might be 1, 2 or 4.

• For those cameras that support image white-balance, the option supports 3 settings, namely

• “1” - Automatic white balance control mode. (AWC)

• “2” - Automatic tracing white balance mode.(ATW1)

• “3” - Automatic tracing white balance mode under a sodium lamp.(ATW2)

• Some Video Properties like Brightness/Saturation/Sharpness are normalized to percentage (0-

100), but the real value in camera is range from nCameraMin to nCameraMax which result in the values in NVR not covering all values in Camera.

Audio Stream Feature

Note

1 Pelco camera’s audio stream is mixed with video stream, handler demux audio stream from

“Video Stream 1”.

2 For some Pelco cameras, they support audio on their web GUI, but don’t supply Audio in the

API, so handler doesn’t support audio.

Max Number of Dry Contact Supported


Special Points

1. When the camera is added to NVR, it is recommended not to change settings via the camera web GUI, especially video and audio settings, because the changes may need to reboot the video codec and this will affect the NVR.

2. Pelco handler will support Edge device Motion Detection Event and Alarm input directly from the camera.

3. User need to enable Edge based motion detection on camera Web GUI before enabling on

NVR.

4. User need to ensure that at least one alarm input is configured for use on camera web GUI.

5. Camera Audio and Dry Contact will need enabled on the camera prior to enabling these on the

NVR, as the handler cannot directly enable these features.

6. On the NVR "Function & Streams" page, Stream 1 is associated to camera's "primary Stream" profile; Stream 2 is associated to camera's "secondary stream" profile.

Limitations

The limitations listed apply to all models.



1. Video standard change is not supported. TV format returns PAL, even if the camera is configured for NTSC. This is a known issue of Pelco camera firmware.



Reason: Camera limitation.



2.



3. Bitrate value displaying on NVR may be different from camera web GUI.



Reason: Pelco API limitation. 

Work around: None 

4. Quality is not supported for H.264 or MJPEG for any cameras on NVR.



Reason: NVR limitation conflict with Pelco camera limitation. NVR support quality for MJPEG codec while Pelco support quality of service for H264.



Work around: Use camera WEB GUI 

5. Pelco H264 stream configuration has Bitrate setting but can't change Bitrate control setting.



Reason: Camera limitation 


6. White Balance, Back Light Compensation, WDR, and Day/Night mode cannot be modified via the API 

Reason: Camera limitation.



7. PTZ Pattern is not supported 

Reason: Camera limitation 

8. Audio PCMA not supported 




9. Audio Codec can't set or change.






10. Audio volume is modified via NVR web GUI, the volume on camera web GUI may not be changed.



Reason: Camera firmware limitation.



11. Audio cannot be mute if volume is set with 0 via NVR web GUI.



Reason: Pelco API limitation.



12. D5118] Sometimes focus function of camera stops working unless factory default.



Reason: Camera Limitation 

Work around: Camera factory default 

13. There is no obvious change in image quality, when user adjusts Hue in NVR.



Reason: Camera firmware limitation.



14. Sometimes, NVR page pop up hint "Could not update the camera video properties” 

Reason: Camera response is slow.



Work around: Refresh NVR webpage.



15. Sharpness is not supported. This may be different with camera web GUI.



Reason: Pelco API limitation.



16.



17. Sometimes cameras cannot be found in discovered device list after auto-discovery.



Reason: Slow camera response and NVR can only wait for 5 seconds.



Work around: Check the network environment and retry again.



18. [IM10LW-1] To enable edge-based motion, it is recommended to set the FPS less than 30 and resolution less than 640X352. Once edge-based motion is enabled, if the user wish to go back to 720p the FPS needs to be set to 12FPS click "Apply" and change the resolution to 720p.



Reason: camera limitation.

Special Points

• If added into an NVR, we recommend not modifying the camera outside of the NVR, or the NVR may not work properly.

• As confirmed by Samsung, F/W upgrade/downgrade problems happen frequently with SNP-

3120 series. Please use the Supported Firmware Version only, and take care when upgrading

/downgrading camera of SNP-3120 series. Downgrading to 1.22_110120_1 firmware also resets the camera to default IP.

Interface 'CameraName' is not supported as the camera has no CGI command for this interface.

The SND 3080, SNP 3120, SNB 3002 are fixed PAL / NTSC. For other cameras there is a setting for changing PAL/NTSC on the Camera WebGUI but this only changes the analog output.

Samsung cameras have no CGI command for getting autofocus status, and only a few cameras support setting it to on. The handler does not support autofocus property.

Samsung cameras do not directly support video codec quality, but use compression rate on the MJPEG stream for this purpose. A high level of compression equals a low level of quality. The cameras' valid compression value range is 1-20. NVR reverse converts it to 5-100%. Quality is not supported for H.264 or MJPEG4 for any cameras.

SND-3080 does not support MJPEG stream compression. The camera's web page has a quality setting, but there is no specified API. So, the handler will not support

MJPEG stream quality for this camera.

Do not change the camera's video profile settings on the Camera Gui when the camera is added to the NVR, otherwise changing FPS, resolution, bitrate or creating video stream may fail. Also after the camera is added into NVR, the user MUST not change the set video standard setting, or change the 2M/3M setting.

For Samsung encoders, each channel has an independent IP. To add an encoder to the NVR, the user should add every channel one by one. For the encoders can provide audio-in, only the first channel supports audio. For the encoders can provide

AlarmIn, each channel supports 1 AlarmIn

Some of the camera information (e.g. FPS ranges) provided by Samsung Support differs from the camera's actual capabilities as found on the WebGUI. The Handler uses API results for these details.

Valid FPS for MJPEG is limited to "1-5" and set FPS>5 will failed if "E- mail/FTP profile" or "Record Profile" is enabled on the Camera WebGUI

N/A

Work Around

To get full FPS of 1-

MJPEG profile for "Email/FTP profile" and

"Record Profile".

N/A MJPEG video quality may be reduced at higher FPS, even when setting quality to

100. This is a camera issue.

Dual streaming will reduce the FPS. If both streams are set to 30 FPS, you will get approximately 15 FPS on each stream. Reducing the FPS on Stream 2 will increase the FPS on Stream 1. This has been confirmed as a camera limitation by Samsung.

If you enable audio on H.264 or MPEG4, the FPS will drop roughly in half. This is because the camera opens another video stream and extracts the audio from it.

Model Limitations

The Samsung handler is now able to let the NVR know what codec configurations are available for each camera. This now means that if the camera is set to dual stream, the user is unable to switch the codec's of stream 1 and stream 2.

Known Issues

Cameras' valid resolutions may not list in min-max (image width) order. It is because the NVR uses resolution index to communicate with the camera, and their resolutions may not ordered from min to max.

N/A

Work Around

Although the key cameras in some groups (SND-3080, SND-7080) support brightness, some cameras covered by them do not support it, so the NVR web image page will display the brightness property value as BLANK.

When the resolution is lower than 800x600, the image's bottom edge may have a mosaic or color block.

For SPE series and SNB-3000 series (for example, SND-3080), AlarmIn reacts very slowly. It can be up to 4 seconds from manually triggering AlarmIn pins before the camera reports the alarm.

For SND-3080, camera may report false alarms for both AlarmIns when setting active state for any AlarmIn. When the active state is set to HIGH, the camera randomly reports false alarm status, which will cause wrong alarms in NVR.

Live view latency is about 500ms (H.264, MJPEG, MPEG4).

If FPS is too low, RTSP connects to camera may timeout and then the NVR will have no video. The following cameras were found to have this issue:

For SNV-5010 and SND-7080, the MJPEG video will not display when the user sets fps to 1 and resolution to less than 1280*720.

For SND-3002 and SND-5080, the MPEG4 video will not display when the user sets

FPS to <=5.

PTZ Controls will not work using 1.26_120402 firmware. This is a camera firmware bug.

Quickly adding PTZ presets causes the SNP 5200 to auto zoom in.

Changing property may fail to update correctly if the following operations are done together, before clicking [Apply] button: enable secondary stream, change the codec type to MJPEG, change the property (FPS, resolution, etc). If this issue occurs, change the property again.

When connecting to UD8 analog camera, Samsung encoder SPE-400 combined

PTZ not working with keyboard control.

Some cameras (SND-7011, SND-7082 and SNB-7002, with fw 1.06) sometimes cannot correctly provide H264 + MJPEG streams (streams keep restarting). When this issue happens, disable MJPEG's "FTP/Email, Record" functions may fix this issue.

After upgrade the fw to 1.20, the cameras can provide two streams, but with video freezes and the FPS drops (Dual stream when H264 with highest resolution,

FPS<=5; Single stream, FPS may be half of setting FPS.) or not stable (SND-7082, dual streams, FPS is vary between 4-30).

The handler does not support SNP-3430H's sharpness function, due to this model is

EOL and newer API does not have enough information to create sharpness property.

Most APIs run slowly. This means when adding camera in NVR may fail to add to the

NVR, or changing the camera settings (eg codec resolution etc) may show a server error message. When issue happens, the user needs try again.

Limitations

The following limitations which apply to the previously released 5th generation cameras also apply to all new SONY camera models documented in this release:

• PTZ functions are not supported on all SONY Encoders due to the SONY API performance limitation.

• Relative Focus and Iris are not supported on all SONY Encoders.


SONY

• Relative iris is not supported, which means Victor client won’t be able to adjust the Iris. However the absolute Iris adjustment is available through NVR or Camera web page.

• Due to a limitation in NVR motion detection stream selection algorithm, the MPEG4 stream cannot be utilized for motion detection. This limitation requires quality setting in the MPEG4 stream, which is not supported by the cameras.

• The NVR supports dual-streams for SONY 5th generation cameras with some camera performance limitations. Please refer to SONY camera documentation for more information.



Recommendations:

•Refer to the Camera GUI to determine possible available dual stream combinations before setting the stream configuration in the NVR.

Resolution, FPS and quality settings in stream 1 will affect the possible configuration settings for stream 2.

•If the resolution of the primary stream is much larger than 640x480, create a secondary stream, at 640x480 or less.

•On some cameras, configuring Stream 1 to a high resolution and frame rate settings with H.264, the camera may not allow dual stream. In such case, an attempt to enable the motion detection meta data will fail.

•The NVR in some cases may detect an attempt from a user to set a non supported dual stream combination and will report an error. It will then automatically configure the stream to its known limitation, according to what is shown on the camera GUI

•The configuration limits available for a secondary stream might be different between two cameras of the same model, same firmware level, and same primary stream configuration depending on some other camera configuration choices, such as Wide-Dynamic-Range (which, in some implementations, may cut the maximum available frame-rate in half).

•Over-configuration of streams can have different results on different camera models. In some instances, the camera attempts to run the configuration with a result that camera responses to direct commands become slower and slower. To recover from this over-configured settings may require camera reboot using the direct camera web interface or camera power-cycle.

•It is recommended to change stream parameters (Codec, FPS, Quality, and Resolution) one step at a time, as repeated and excessive stream changes can cause the camera to continuously alarm on the

NVR/Victor Client. Power cycling or rebooting the camera will normally clear the fail condition.

• The web client camera details screen will mark MJPEG video resolutions that are greater than

2040 pixels in width or height as “unsupported”. An attempt to select and apply an “unsupported” resolution from the drop down list will fail.

• An unrecognized SONY camera configured as SONY Generic will be assumed to be 5thgeneration, with resolution choices comparable to CH220, CH260, DH220, DH260 -- 1920x1440 max, 320x240 minimum. If that camera is configured (from the camera GUI) to have a max resolution of 1920x1080, then an alternate list of resolutions is used with 320x192 min. The available FPS are consistent with other 5th-generation cameras. The optional VPA and Lens properties are configured as EMPTY and controls would not be offered. Dual streams with

H.264, MPEG4, and MJPEG would be available, but there would be no audio and no contact alarms. The PTZ functionality will work if the PTZ camera is compatible with 5th-generation PTZ cameras.

• An invalid password group will cause the MAC address field and some VPA and Lens properties to display “unknown”. Errors will occur when attempting to change the FPS, resolution, quality or

VPA and Lens properties.

37-3

SONY

• When there is a MPEG4 recording, set the resolution and fps value first before enabling audio. If fps or resolution must be changed after the audio, be sure to disable, re-enable and re-configure the audio to avoid 1 second audio lag in play back.

• SONY 5 th generation cameras set with motion-detection using MJPEG will present the limitation that if H.264 has been used for the primary stream, it cannot be used for the secondary

• Digital PTZ is not supported.

• VideoEdge NVR Web Client has a resolution limitation with SONY megapixel cameras, and won’t display video with resolution of width or height at 2048 pixels or higher.

• Due to the above limitation, it is recommended to set the aspect ratio of CH210, DH210/210T to

16:9 prior to configuring them on VideoEdge NVR. The 4:3 aspect ratios can be set after they are configured on the NVR. However, re-adjusting the FPS, resolution may be necessary for them to work properly with the NVR

• Dry Contact Settings on both camera Web Gui and NVR must be set to normally closed.

Notes

The required set up ensures correct signal being generated when sensor is triggered.

SONY 3rd generation cameras do not support dual streams

Due to the camera performance limitation on the RTSP/RTP protocol the camera can support only 1 video stream, either

MJPEG or MPEG4

Camera Focus does not work on

Victor Client. This is because

Victor Client uses “PTZSpeed” method to implement Focus.

4.3, 4.4.0 SONY Handler does not support PTZSpeed.

No error message is displayed on NVR web page but camera codec setting remains unchanged.

Enabling blc will fail if auto IRIS is disabled.

Notes

In the case video becomes unavailable after changing from

Notes

On camera web page, the resolution of Image 2 can’t be higher than Image 1.

If image1 resolution is 640x480 or higher, the highest fps of both images is 15.

In the case when nvr only have one single stream enabled, user must check if there are 2 streams enabled on camera via camera web gui. User should use the camera web gui to disable stream 2 before selecting the max resolution and fps settings for stream 1 on NVR

Over configuration issue described in this release notes document applies to Dual streaming. When resolution is setting is too high for camera to accommodate, camera will select its own settings and disregard user’s setting from NVR.

Workaround may not be available in some cases. See

(Note1-Note5) for details.

The SONY SNC-ER520 has a slower camera inquiry CGI response time than other SONY camera models. The camera inquiry CGI response time for this camera is about 0.85 seconds.

The slower CGI response doesn’t cause any NVR timeout issues. User may experience slow NVR response when do the configuration on NVR.

Retrieving camera configuration on NVR does not required authentication.

Notes

SONY camera CGI Get commands does not require authentication.

Due to SONY camera overconfiguration issues, camera may not respond to the following resolution change request. If this happens, camera will return its own setting.

For example:

From:

H.264@5fps 640x480

MJPEG@5fps 640x480

To:

H.264@5fps 720x576

MJPEG@5fps 640x480

In this case, user will see the newly requested resolution setting listed on NVR. No error message is displayed on NVR.

User must refresh NVR screen and check camera setting via camera web gui to confirm if change request is executed successfully.

Workaround:

Repeat command on NVR

Bit rate behavior is inconsistent for different models

The focus value is set from 0-

45056, which is not user-friendly.

Bit rate may not be set successfully in NVR 4.3, 4.4 but it will be normal in NVR 4.5

Workaround is to enable autofocus , or change settings on

1. The models are recommended by Vivotek as key models and other models can be covered by these models. Non key models are supposed to have same features as their key models 



2. Only 'Stream 2' of this model supports MPEG4 codec. 

3. The Vivotek FE8171 two FOV(Field of View) modes: "Fisheye mode (MAX 15fps)" and "1080P

Full HD(MAX 30fps)". Changing the FOV option will erase the motion detection, privacy mask, and preset positions you previously configured. Meanwhile, resolution list, frame rate list are also

 changed. This setting should NOT be changed after the device is added into NVR, or it may cause error.



4. The model has two FOV (Field of View) modes: "Full HD(MAX 1080P 30fps)" and "Exceptional frame rate(720P 60fps)". Changing the FOV option will have resolution list, frame rate list changed. This setting should NOT be changed after the device is added into NVR, or it may cause error.

The VS8801 has the following limitations:

• Vivotek encoders do not support PTZ on Victor Client.

• There is a camera limitation on the video stream performance, if all 8 channels are being used the combined max FPS should be around 20FS. When the limitation is reached, the web client of the VS8801 shows "Note: Frame rates are not guaranteed when all red-marked streams are used." within "Overview" section of "Audio and video" page.

• The encoder has a limitation that changing one channel's audio codec will lead to all other channels' audio codec changed as well.

• Interlace is not supported on the NVR.

• Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness, and Saturation will always be shown as 0 in the NVR, even after users apply non-zero values to them via NVR. This is caused by a camera limitation it is recommended that the user does not change these values on the NVR as errors can be caused. User should change these settings via the camera web client.

The mechanical design of the PZ8111 means that Pan and Tilt operations are limited to a certain degree.

All PTZ camera models cannot use multiple PTZ operations using a keyboard. The hander carries out the operation that is of a greater percentage than the others for Pan, Tilt,

Zoom, Focus and Iris controls.

For all PTZ models, Diagonal PTZ is NOT supported.

The SD8313E and SD8362E: If continuous pan and tilt set are used, the camera will move up to the top, then slowly move toward the direction of the pan command. This is the camera’s expected behavior.

Panoramic PTZ is not supported. For more information please refer to the Vivotek user manual.

When the FE8172 is added to the NVR, if MJPEG is selected the camera is defaulted to constant bit rate. To increase the image quality the users can change the Bit Rate to

Fixed Quality on the camera web client before adding to the NVR however this will mean the user cannot stream the camera at the top two resolutions 1536x1536 and 1920x1920.

Due to a QuickTime limitation when quality is set to fixed this will cause low frame rates in

QuickTime and NVR, this does not affect Victor.

Video streaming is unstable at high resolution when light conditions are low. Vivotek suggests setting bit rate control to CBR for more reliable streaming. However users need to be aware that it may produce lower than desired frame rate. In NVR4.3, 4.4 the bit rate control can only be adjusted through the camera's web interface.

Vivotek have confirmed Switching from Day mode to Night mode may cause frame drops and video loss, depending on the light condition, complexity of the scene and the resolution setting. Setting the bit rate control to CBR may reduce the video loss.

The SD8362 and FE8172 Models are slightly different from all other models:

• They have a particular setting called Field of View (FOV). Resolution list, default resolution, and fps list vary with FOV setting. Once added into the NVR, FOV should not be changed. Otherwise issues may occur. To change FOV, the camera must be removed from the NVR first, then changed before re-added to the NVR.

• These two models support bit rate for MJPEG, which is not supported by any other models. NVR 4.3 does not support bit rate control.

For FE8171V, FE8172 and all other fisheye models, MPEG4 is not supported, but H264 and MJPEG are still supported. The NVR cannot play the MPEG4 streams from these models because they have custom data embedded, which will cause the NVR to restart the stream frequently.

Some models for example, camera model SD8362 will support FPS greater than 30.

However NVR will only support up to 30 FPS.

The Following camera models SD8313E, SD8323E, SD8312E, SD8322E, SD8311E,

SD8321E all use the same firmware and are regarded by the handler as SD83X3.

The Following camera models PZ8111, PZ8121, PZ8111W, PZ8121W all use the same firmware and are regarded by the handler as PZ81X1.

The FD8235H and FD8335H do not support dual stream MPEG4.

Back light compensation is not supported.

Due to camera hardware limitation the frame rates may not reach the highest frame rate.

Due to a camera limitation audio on the VS8801 encoder will not work on all channels if the encoder is connected to any other client other than victor for example VLC. The maximum number of connections on the encoder is 16 streams which will allow for one client to be connected to each video and audio stream. To connect all video and audio streams firmware version V0201c or above should be used.

Vivotek IP8362- in some circumstances due to low frame rate, high bandwidth and complexity of the scene user may experience Significant video freeze in Client Instant

Playback throughout long period of video during night/day mode transition. This should not be observed when using Search and Retrieve.

22 When adding a Vivotek camera to NVR, the bitrate control will be set by default to CBR.

This can be changed on the NVR after adding the camera.

For the following camera models FE8171/FE8172, PZ81x1 or any other model supporting mic and line in - Internal or external microphone must be selected on the device or via camera web client respectively before camera is added to the NVR. The volume controls on the NVR control the external mic, the internal mic can be changed on the camera web client.

0 = off, 1 = manual, 2 = auto

Vivotek cameras / encoders support three different ways to set / get video quality, and keep the quality value of each way. However, at any time only one of them is taking effect.

Every time a new way is used to set quality value, this way will take effect with other two stand by, i.e. the last used way will block values of other two ways from taking effect on video (though they still can be got from camera).The way handler uses is called

"percentage mode" by Vivotek. Its valid values range from 1 to 100. And camera webGUI uses the other two ways.

Vivotek handler enumerates the same bitrate range as camera webGUI does. But custom value is not supported.

Vivotek handler support s H.264 profile setting, which is not available on camera webGUI.

The Vivotek handler caches the mount type for the fisheye models. Users should NOT change mount type via camera webGUI, or dewarping may not work properly.
