Installation

1. Hardware Connection

5

2. Software Installation

The following software is necessary for the proper display and use of the P600 from the Web site. The software will be available from the Software Package CD.

IP Installer

The IP Installer is used to locate and configure network cameras and video servers on the LAN. This utility is useful for conveniently configuring the network settings of the device, or for finding a device once the network settings have been modified. To install the IP Installer, from the Software Package CD UI, select IP installer, then follow the on screen instructions.

VLC

Though not necessary, this can be used for viewing the streaming without a Web browser.

6

3. Network Configuration

IP Installer is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP address and network settings of the devices. It even provides a convenient way to set the network settings for multiple devices simultaneously using the batch setting function. Moreover, IP Installer can save the network settings for all devices as a backup and restore them when necessary. NOTE: Default mode for P600 is DHCP.

Preparation before IP Assignment

1. Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your server in order to avoid using a previously assigned IP address.

2. Ensure the P600 is powered on and correctly connected to the network.

3. MAC Address: Each device has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address) shown on the label of the device as the serial number (S/N) with 12 digits (e.g. 000429-XXXXXX).

*0004290000

B1

4. Although the IP Installer is able to find and configure any P600 on the LAN except those that are behind a router, it is a good idea to set the host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to the Web-based user interface of the camera, the host PC must be in the same subnet. For more information about subnets, please consult your network administrator.

Using IP Installer to Assign an IP Address to P600

1. Once IP Installer has been successfully installed on the PC, double click the IP Installer icon on the desktop, or select it from Start > Programs > Pixord > Device Search > IP Installer.

2. Click the menu bar Tool > Search Network Device to search the device in the LAN.

Access to the Camera

Following the successful installation and IP assignment, P600(E) camera will be able to be accessed. The intention of accessing to the camera is most likely for the live video images; there are various configurations as well. P600(E) works with most Windows system and Browsers. The most recommended browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer

(6.0 or above). Other browsers, like Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Netscape Navigator, are functionalities/configurations partially supported, while live video can work on those platforms where VLC must be installed as the video codec.

Note: With Internet Explorer of the access, the installation of ActiveX control (from Pixord Corporation) is required as described in the previous section.

Web browser access

1. Launch a web browser,

2. Enter the IP address of the camera in the address field of the browser,

3. The login process will require username and password for a new session connection. The default username/password is admin / admin .

11

4. After authorized, the web will be directed to the main page of the camera with the live video.

Access restriction

The login account can be divided in 3 groups, which are managed in different levels of access. Anonymous login is possible for live video access only. Detail User Account settings can be referenced in the System Options -> User .

The default account (admin/admin) comes with administrator authentication, which is able to configure all settings.

It is recommended to change the administrator’s password

after login, and/or create more accounts as planned.

The Live View Page

The first view of logging into the camera web is the live video images with information including camera IP address, video format / resolution / frame rate / bit rate and system date.

12

The Quick Function Buttons come with the video panel for immediate functions or taking effect.

Full screen: enlarge the video image to the current screen size.

Listen: the audio sent from camera

Talk: the audio sent to camera

Record: record current live video images in “.avi” format

Snapshot: Capture a still live image in JPEG format

Further configurations and options; a prominent button in between is used to expand the further operations. Not all buttons of function are described below. Options appear when specified in the configuration page.

13

SETUP: Further configurations and functions

LANGUAGE: Language selection for the Web Interface.

IMAGE SETUP: An actual size check box. Default is unselected, which Image frame is scaled down or enlarged to fit the web VGA size.

MANUAL TRIGGER: Applied as one of the trigger conditions, see Event Handling for detail.

VIDEO STREAM: Select the current displayed stream.

14

Video and Image Configuration

This section describes how to configure the video streaming from the device, and the related camera image configurations. Users with Administrator or Operator (see Users Settings ) authority are intended for these configurations.

Click on button to enter in the configuration pages.

Video

There are 3 tabs,

-

General

-

Advanced

-

External Video Source

15

General

Video General Setting

The list of video streams is provided for enable/disable selection. Stream1 is default enabled (selected). Maximum

3 streams can be concurrently enabled for different client requests.

Digital PTZ: This function is available in stream2.

OSD Setting

Enable the On Screen Display (OSD) information. A line of text message (e.g. Camera Name or Position) and the date/time string are available to be selected for displaying or hiding on the images.

16

Advanced

The Video Advanced setting page provides more detail stream configurations. These settings can affect video size, quality. The expected transferring performance must be under the condition of full network bandwidth

RTSP Path -

The RTSP Path is the stream ID used for RTSP client streaming connection, such as VLC player. The default values are v00 , v01 and v02 for the three streams respectively. The string can be any combination of number or capital/small letters. It can not be empty however.

Resolution -

The resolution here describes an image size counted by width and height, e.g. 640x480, referring to pixel resolution . The 1 st

stream can be set from more options of resolution; 1600x1200 (2 megapixels), 1280x720(HD),

800x600(SVGA), 640x480(VGA), 320x240(QVGA). While Stream2 has the options of VGA and QVGA, stream3 is in a fixed resolution, the QVGA.

Video Mode -

This option allows the selection of two bit rate modes, the Constant Bit Rate (CBR) or Variable Bit Rate (VBR). CBR refers to the setting of a fixed Target Bit Rate (configuration in the rage of 64Kbps to 6Mbps) that would apply in the case of limited bandwidth or/and storage requirement. While CBR concerns a fixed data rate transmitting, the video quality is of high priority for VBR mode selected. VBR therefore is configured with the Quality Level

(Standard, Good, Best). In general, CBR predicts the provided condition; if image activity requires higher bit rates than configured, the frame rate and quality would be affected as not likely to increase bandwidth (bit rate). In spite of the required recording storage estimation, VBR is by way of compensation that adjustable bit rate fits the actual image activity.

17

Image Format -

H.264 and MJPEG are available for image format selection. The term,

“image format”, is referring to compression / encoding technique. The selection of image format decides the performance of bandwidth and storage requirement.

In the request of same video quality, H.264 contributes to less bandwidth and storage requirement, which is more efficient than MJPEG.

GOP -

In MPEG4/H.264 video coding, GOP (group of pictures) describes how the different types of frames are arranged.

The frame types implemented here are I -frame (full image information) and P -frame (motion-compensated difference information). This setting configures the GOP length which is the number of frames before next I-frame appears. Having more I-frames usually increases the stream size, and therefore more bandwidth and storage are required.

Frame Rates -

The Frame Rates defines the number of frames that will be displayed per second. The frame rate setting can affect the target bit rate (bandwidth requirement) and storage requirement.

Note:

While multiple streaming is possible, each stream has its limitation and dependency to other stream.

See “

Video

Stream Specification

”.

18

20

Camera

This page provides the basic image color appearance and further image settings.

General

Brightness: the luminance of image view

Hue: refer to pure a pure color, or described by its name, such as red, green or blue.

Saturation: intensity of a specific color

The 3 correlates are referring image appearance in terms of color/vision. These are adjustable from this page.

Rotation: rotate the image, so it looks up-side down. This can be applied when camera unit must be ceiling mounted and the image is therefore reversed.

Audio: enable this option, so the video stream will be transferring accompanied with the audio data.

Web Record / Snapshot: define the location where snapshot images and video clips will be stored. The file name is referring to the prefix of the actual file name of each snapshot image or video clip generated.

21

Advanced

White balance: the adjustment to compensate for different environments in terms of light source.

Exposure: Anti-flicker setting for image sensor to fit the frequency of light (power) source. For instance, the power frequency is 50Hz for most European countries, while 60Hz is typically for US. This setting is therefore regionally different. Note: Default setting is 50Hz

Max. Exposure Time: referring to the shutter speed.

Max. Gain Control: the amplification factor for the incoming light.

Infrared (IR) Cut Filter: the default is automatically switched according to light intensity. Normally, with plenty of light sources (or sun light), there can be infrared included. The filter is automatically switched “ON”, to avoid the image sensor from receiving the IR signal.

Color/Mono Mode: the default is automatically switched according to light intensity. It can also be forced to display color image even in a low light environment.

Video External Output Format: the format of composite output, NTSC/PAL.

22

Event Handling

Event Handling describes the configurations of event type and the corresponding actions. To have an insight into this function, a common example can be storing a captured image to a local storage or remote FTP server

(Actions), when there is a Motion Event (Trigger Condition).

Event Server

The “Event Server List” lists the configured server(s) that will act as a remote storage or a destination for handling the triggered event. Currently, FTP is the only available server type. Up to 10 FTP servers can be added in the list.

23

Motion Detection

A snapshot image shows the whole view of the camera covered. To select a motion detection area, click directly on the image, then change the size and position by dragging and drawing. Up to 10 motion areas (configurations) can be added in the list. Each detection area can be set with its own sensitivity value.

I/O Ports

This model supports 2 photo-coupled relay inputs and 1 relay outputs, see “

I/O Terminal Connectors

” for detail pin description and application. The tab shows the status of them; with external trigger/alarm devices.

24

Event Configuration

The Event Configuration is to assign the actions responding to the specified events (Trigger Conditions).

The table lists the configured events. Click on “ Add… ” or choose an event from the list to expend the panel for detail configurations. “ Remove ” is to delete a selected event.

25

Trigger types (conditions)

Motion Detection: The configured detection area(s) for motion events.

GPIN: the physically connected external trigger/button.

Manual Trigger: a virtual trigger button embedded on the web main page.

When triggered” Actions

Store image to FTP (Remote) / SD Storage (Local)

Activate Relay Output

Send Email Notification

TCP Message Notification

– only for GPIN as the trigger condition

Event Schedule

Events may come frequently, for instance, a moving object keeps triggering as being in a detection area. False alarms can therefore occur. The “ minimum time between triggers

” setting is then for this case. System waits for the given time before the next trigger taken.

By default, each configured event is always effective. It can also be scheduled by selecting start day/time and the duration of effective.

26

Local Storage and Schedule Recording

P600 series model is equipped with a card slot for SD/SDHC storage. This storage is applied for local video recording. The recording function can be launched according to schedule. The SD card also records the JPEG images responding to an event.

General

User can select which video stream should be recorded, and the size of each sliced file. When the check box is ticked, recording process starts at the scheduled hours (red blocks).

Storage

Display the storage information, includes disk size info, type and status. The warning message (red text) shows when recording is on process; SD card should not be removed during the recording process.

27

The “ Browse ” button allows viewing the list of recorded files. The web page will then be redirect to the root path of the SD storage (if one is inserted). The list includes couple of folders, the Oevent_images which contains all the still images captured by any event trigger, and folders specified by date where the recorded video files are located.

The recorded files are named in date_time format

, and the extension file name is “

.h264

”. While file is in h264 raw format, it can be played in VLC player. Note that the recorded file includes video only; no audio information is recorded.

28

Description

Digital output implementation; Pin2 to COM (Pin1) is a Photo-coupled relay on

Normal Open status. External device can directly connect to the terminals.

However the current that will go through the 2 nodes must not exceed 130mA. An external “Relay” can also be connected to the terminals as an implementation. In this case, current (or/and voltage) limitation is specified by the external Relay.

Two sets of Digital Input, DI1 and DI2; the internal device is also photo-coupled electrical relay. In practice, the external device can be simply an On/Off switch.

Two sets of On/Off switch can be connected as different trigger source.

An extra power entry for the camera device; or if power is supplied from the DC jack, Pin6 can provide 12V power output. This power can be supplied for the external “Relay” device. The Pin7 is the same ground as Pin3.

Troubleshooting

Check firmware version

The version code can be found in Setup -> System -

> Information, or simply type “version.html” after the URL address, e.g. http://192.168.0.200/version.html

. Firmware version indicates the functionalities’ updates or availability in the camera system. Therefore, in the first step of troubleshooting and then reporting, it helps to locate the found issues. Newer version firmware may have corrected the current bugs.

52

Upgrade device firmware

Firmware upgrade process should be done via the web configuration; Setup -> Server Maintenance -> Firmware

Upgrade . Before the process, read the instructions and release notes coming with each new released version. For the steps,

1. Check and retrieve the latest firmware bin file.

2. Disconnect all clients (e.g. streaming requests) to the device that will be firmware upgrading.

3. Stop the local (schedule) recording if it was enabled.

4. Go to the Firmware Upgrade page, browse and locate the downloaded firmware bin file, then click on

“Upgrade” button.

5. The upgrade should start in minutes, depending on file transferring status. The web will then be directed to the system writing progress. Overall upgrading process takes about 5~10 minutes. In this period, DO NOT

DISCONECT the power. System of the unit can be damaged otherwise.

6. The power LED (orange one) will be quick/slow flashing during the upgrading process. When it becomes again steady on, camera is ready to be accessed. Check the firmware version. If somehow system is not upgraded, redo above steps. In the case, restore factory default process may be required.

53

Restore Factory Default Settings

In some cases, system does not respond to any operation, this process gets the unit back to initial status, so that it can be reconfigurable for up and running again.

To restore factory default, follow the steps below:

1. Unplug the power jack to turn off the camera

2. Insert a pin into the reset hole Sense a button and keep it pressed until instructed to release.

3. Plug in the power jack to turn on the camera. The power LED will start flashing in a short while.

4. Release the pin when the LED starts quick flashing. The device should be set back to factory default.

Dependency

1. Max. FPS dependency: when Stream1 is set to 1600x1200 , the maximum frame rate is 15fps . Accordingly, both Stream2 and Steram3 can be configured with the frame rate from 5 to 15 fps.

2. Resolution dependency: The maximum resolution of Stream2 is depending on the resolution setting of

Stream1 . When Stream1 is set to 320x240, Stream 2 is limited in 320x240.

3. Frame rate independent: Frame rate setting for each stream can be independent, for instance, Stream2 can be set 15fps and Stream3 is 30fps while Stream1 (1280x720 or below) is set to 5fps .

The Angle of View

The setting of Stream1 determines the angle of view, therefore the range of image view. The pictures below present the 3 ranges of view, 1600x1200, 1280x720 and 960x720 * (is not existed/selectable resolution), and the actual view of each resolution. The resolutions, 800x600, 640x480, 320x240, will be the scaling down from actual view angle.
