C-MOR 6P
1 Installation
The installation process of C-MOR is very easy. The complete setup consists of just three steps - C-MOR is then ready for recording.
Software requirements of your PC:
An Internet browser supporting the following web technologies:
JavaScript
HTTP 1.1
Cookies
Most of today's browsers like Internet Explorer 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0 are suitable for the administration and the use of C-MOR. The majority of operating systems include Java VM
(Virtual Machine). In case your operating system does not support Java VM, for viewing live streams of the camera it will be necessary to install a Java runtime environment (e.g. Java Runtime Environment,
JRE by Sun).
For the playback of video recordings, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 codices are required. Most software
DVD- players like WinDVD or PowerDVD support these codices but it may be necessary to install the codec separately. Windows is already equipped with these codices by the means of the Media Player.
Current versions of Linux derivatives also offer suitable movie players with correspondent codices. We recommend the VLC Player for Macintosh Operating Systems.
Most suitable for the display of the C-MOR web interface is the web browser Mozilla Firefox.
1.1 Package Contents
Carefully unpack the C-MOR package and ensure that you have the following items:
- 1x C-MOR-Box

3.2 Camera Configuration
3.2.1 General Description of Configuration Options
In order to configure a camera the following settings can be carried out:
Define description of the camer a’s location
Activate / deactivate recordings
Define camera network data
Configuration of camera type (Axis, Mobotix, Panasonic, Sony, etc.)
Threshold for motion detection
Parameters for motion detection. Different values have to be defined depending on the
camera image.
Interval for fast motion recordings
Besides motion detection it is also possible to carry out permanent recording. Such a recording creates a video with images that are recorded according to the defined frequency.
Record mode for fast motion recordings
The interval for permanent record defines at what time and on what days a new recording should be started. This value can be set for recordings to start e.g. hourly, daily, monthly, every week on
Sunday or every week on Monday.
Activation/deactivation of single frame recording during motion detection
Besides MPEG files during motion detection it is also JPEG singe frames that are recorded.
Those can conveniently be saved over ZIP archive.
Number of frames for the prerecording previous to motion detection
Number of frames that are set at the beginning of a video during motion detection.
Number of frames during post recording. Images that are recorded after motion for security reasons
Number
of frames that are added to a video after motion has ended.
User Manual Page 30
C-MOR 6P
Interval for recordings during motion detection
This parameter should be chosen carefully. The interval can be defined between 1 frame every 3 seconds up to 25 frames per second. Pay careful attention what the maximum number of frames per second can be delivered by the camera. In case a camera cannot record more than 5 frames per second, C-MOR is not able to record at a higher interval.
Rotation of the camera image by 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees image rotation
Image rotation enables you to define whether images should be recorded at a rotation of 180 degrees or not. This makes sense in case the camera is e.g. installed hanging upside down from a ceiling.
Maximum recording time for motion detection recordings
This value defines the maximum length of a video recorded during motion detection. This is important for retrieval over the internet as single videos can be viewed much quicker due to smaller files.
Display frames and changed pixels
This parameter defines whether a frame will be displayed around the changed pixels or not. This is very helpful when the threshold for the camera image is being set.
Display date and time in the camera image
Feature for activating/deactivating the display of time and date in the camera image.
Automatic email alarm during motion detection
Feature for activating/deactivating the email alarm that is activated with motion detection by the camera. A simple text email is then sent, by request with or without video attachment.
Email address for alarm emails
This is where the email address has to be entered for emails that are being sent during motion detection or external alarm.
Please note: in case of a lot of motion and many recordings that are effected during motion detection your mailbox might reach its storage limit very fast and cannot receive emails any more!
Activation/deactivation of video attachments in alarm emails
Please choose whether the recording during motion detection alarm should be attached to the email being sent or not.
User Manual Page 31
C-MOR 6P
Left-hand text in camera image
Optional text that can be displayed in the camera image left-hand side. Is the text field left empty, no text will be displayed in the image.
Activate/deactivate double size image text
The text in the camera image can be displayed at double size. Depending on application and image size this parameter offers a better display.
Quality of web camera image in percentage (setting of performance)
Image quality in percentage for the transfer of the camera image to C-MOR. Standard value is
50%. Changing this parameter has great influence on the system load and may overload C-MOR and lead to malfunctions.
Time between two events
Time in seconds when no motion is taking place and from when when a new recording is started.
Bit rate
The bit rate factor defines the bandwidth that images will be transferred from the camera to C-
MOR. The lowest value 2 is the fastest. In case the size of the camera image is very high, the bit rate has to be increased. Otherwise the volume of the data might get too big for the creation of new videos and recordings cannot be effected. At the same time a high value decreases the image quality.
Necessary number of images for motion detection
This value defines how many images have to be changed one after the other so that motion can be detected. In most of the cases the value 1 is ideal for the comparison of an image.
Light incidence
Sudden light incidence leads to motion detection of non-existent motion. By defining this value the percentage set defines how high the number of images is that has to be ignored in case of sudden exposure to light, in order to prevent motion detection recording.
User Manual Page 32
C-MOR 6P
Time-controlled recordings
Setting of hour and day per week when recordings have to be carried out. This applies e.g. when recordings should only be carried out during nighttime at a store.
Time-controlled motion detection
Definition of hour and day per week when motion detection should be carried out.
Configuration of camera event for network alarms
Recordings by C-MOR can be triggered by the use of external switches (special accessories) that report events over your network. Here it is necessary to use an IP switch, which is sending messages to C-MOR via the so-called syslog service. This will then start a recording for the camera in question.
Image mask for the definition of the area of motion detection
In case motion should not be detected within the complete camera image the area where motion should be detected (white area) can be defined by a black & white mask. The defined black area will not trigger motion detection. The size of the image mask has to be identical to the size of the camera image.
Link to direct camera access
This link en ables the user to configure network cameras. This is just a link to the camera’s IP address.
General information about motion detection:
Motion detection carried out by C-MOR is based on differences in the respective camera image and not due to conventional motion detectors (exception: special accessory external switch). Motion detection can also be effected by changes in light.
User Manual Page 33
C-MOR 6P
3.2.2 Camera Activation
Under
“Start/Stop Of Recordings”
it is possible to control the activities of the individual cameras and start or stop recordings. In case the recording of a camera is deactivated there will not be any saved video recordings of this camera. Depending on the camera configuration in case of an activated camera, permanent recordings and/or motion detection is saved in individual files.

C-MOR 6P
This list was created in June 2008 and shows just a small selection. The complete list including many more models can be viewed under www.c-mor.us. In case you cannot find your model in the list you can request the support of your model either by email or telephone, we will then give you all the details you need.
In case your camera is not listed but supported it can easily be connected under the item
“Manual Path”
in C-
MOR. Just enter the directory of the URL of the camera’s live image or the camera’s MJPEG live stream, such as e.g.
/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=640x480
After that single camera options such as image rotation or maximum recording time can be defined. The description of each setting can be found next to the respective option in the table.
On the same configuration page you are able to plan time-controlled recordings. Please click time and day when you would like to start the video surveillance.
Please carry out the settings in the table below for
“Time Controlled Recording During Motion Detection” just as described above.
Recordings can be started by external events (door switches, ultrasonic motion detectors, bell switches and many more). This requires a network switch, like e.g. Barionet or other Syslog-IP switches, to send a system message to C-MOR. The message has to be in accordance with the line defined in this section, which will then trigger the recording.

Image Mask for the Definition of the Areas for Motion Detection
C-MOR reacts to motion in the complete camera image. This might require some kind of limitation so that not every kind of motion leads to motion detection. Examples for that can be cars driving by or pedestrians at property lines. By using this function a black & white mask can be loaded. By the help of this mask C-MOR will only carry out motion detection in the respective white areas. The black & white mask can be created as follows: please start with creating a white image of the size of your camera resolution. Those areas where no motion detection should be effected, please add black layers. Then please save the graphic as a JPG file and upload it to
C-MOR. All black areas will then be ignored in terms of motion detection. Please also see the information on the following page.
In this example cars driving by would trigger motion detection.
In order to prevent this, please create a mask of the same size and upload it to your
C-MOR.
C-MOR then lays the mask over the image section.
The black area will now be ignored during motion detection.

Over the following link you can access the camera’s configuration interface:
The settings there will be directly saved in the camera which might lead to problems accessing the camera, especially in case of changes of the network configuration. In order to make the camera accessible for C-MOR again, you have to immediately enter all changes of the IP address, the port or the user settings into the C-MOR web interface under the item
“Configuration”
of the respective camera.
After changes in the camera configuration it might be possible that the camera has to be deactivated on the C-MOR web interface for a short time. Then activate it again.

By purchasing C-MOR the purchaser obtains a user license for the complete software package but is not allowed to copy it.
5.1 Disclaimer
The software in use with the device is basically a combination of free software, open source, that is licensed by the authors without any occurring cost. As far as not stated explicitly in the license of the individual software packages, the following disclaimer is valid: za-internet GmbH does not assume any liability or warranty for the program as far as it is legally permissible. Unless otherwise confirmed in written f orm, the copyright owners and/or third parties provide the program “as it is” without any warranty.
Neither explicitly, nor implicitly, including
–but not limited to - marketability or usability for a particular aim.
The full risk of quality and capability lies with the user. In case the program turns out to be erroneous, the costs for required service, repairing or correction have to be borne by the user.
Neither the copyright owner, nor any third party who has modified and distributed the program as allowed above, is liable for any damages

6 GNU Public License, GPL
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
6.1 Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the
Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the
GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
6.2 Terms and Conditions for Copying, Dustribution and Modification
§0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this
General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the
Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
§1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
§2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
1. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
2. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
3. If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensee very part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
User Manual Page 41
C-MOR 6P
§3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
1. Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
2. Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
3. Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components
(compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
§4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
§5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
§6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
§7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you
(whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty- free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices.
Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
§8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
§9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
§10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
§11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM
"AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS
WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
§12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO
MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE
PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES.
