¾ Automatic DC iris and varifocal lens

¾ BLC and flickerless

¾ Picture saturation regulation

¾ Analog video output PAL/NTSC (BNC) for focus and iris setup

ENG6

Multicast functions

This camera supports the standard MPEG-4. Thanks to efficient encoding, the data transmission rate remains low, even with maximum image quality and 25 images/s; furthermore, it can be adapted over a wide range to meet the local requirements.

In appropriately configured networks, the multicast function permits the simultaneous video transmission in real time to several receivers. A precondition for this is the implementation of the UDP and IGMP protocols in the network.

Remote control

For remote control of external equipment, the control data is transmitted via the bidirectional serial interface of the unit. This interface can also be used for the transmission of transparent data.

Configuration

This camera can be configured with a browser via the local network or via

Internet. Firmware updates and the quick uploading of device configurations are possible in the same way. Please consider that disconnecting the camera or power supply loss during the firmware update function can seriously damage the camera.

Recording and playback

You can save live pictures recorded by the unit as files on the hard disk of your computer.

The video pictures are stored in MPEG-4 format and can, for example, be replayed with

MPEG Player included in delivery.

The RAM memory integrated in the unit serves as pre-alarm memory. On this ring buffer video pictures are recorded as long as there is no active connection to a receiver unit

(duration ~19 secs.).

INSTALLATION

The camera is designed for indoor operations. Choose a site for installation which ensures that camera is exposed to neither extreme temperatures nor extreme moisture or humidity. The ambient temperature must lie between +5 and +40°C, the relative humidity must not exceed 80%.

During operation, the unit generates a great deal of heat. Therefore ensure sufficient ventilation and an adequate distance to heat-sensitive equipment or objects.

Please observe the following installation conditions:

¾ Do not install the camera in the immediate vicinity of radiators or other sources of heat.

Avoid installing the camera where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

¾ Ensure sufficient space for laying the cables.

¾ Ensure adequate ventilation of the camera.

¾ For all cable connections, use only the suitable cables which also prevent any electrical interference, where necessary.

¾ Ensure that the camera is not exposed to water at the installation site. If necessary, use fresh desiccant in waterproof housing to avoid moisture due to condensation.

¾ Lay and install all cables in such a way that they cannot be damaged and ensure sufficient strain relief.

¾ The installation always depends on the actual situation. No concrete instructions can therefore be given here. The camera has a standard ¼” thread which can be installed on both the top and bottom of the housing.

¾ Lay all cables up to the installation position.

¾ If necessary, connect a monitor with a coax cable (75 Ohm) to the BNC jack in order to be able to check the video image on the spot.

¾ Connect the leads of the power supply unit to terminals + and – of the DC 12V

CONNECTOR. Pay attention to the correct connection of the leads.

Network connection

You can connect the camera via hub to a 10Base-T network. Use a standard UTP Category 5 with RJ45 connectors.

ENG9

Alarm input, relay output

The alarm input of the camera serves for the connection of an external alarm trigger. If configured accordingly, an alarm trigger can, for example, set up an automatic connection between the camera and a remote station.

The relay output serves for switching external devices. This control output can be used interactively during an active connection with the camera. The contact can be programmed as

NO or NC and it is possible to invert the mechanical function by software setup. However, the

NC terminal will open if the camera is powered down and the NO will close. In this way the camera is able to show also a power loss failure.

The relay contact must not be subjected to a burden of more that 30 V and 1A.

Serial port

The serial port is commonly used to drive connected pan-tilt devices.

Read carefully the related manuals before to connect them to the camera.

you can use this function to adjust the brightness of the video picture to suit the working environment.

ENG15

Picture quality: you can set the quality of the video reproduction. A compromise has to be found here between optimum image sharpness and a quick reproduction of movements in the image.

If you attach importance to a high image refresh rate, the quality of the image (sharpness) deteriorates with increasing movement in the field of view of the camera (un-sharp, distortions). If you prefer sharp and clear images, this results in a reduction in the frame rate in the event of movements in the image.

If movements are only to be expected in a small area of the image, you can give preference to the sharpness. In case of such limited movements the intelligent compression process is able to refresh only the regarding areas. The unchanged rest of the image will be reproduced with the optimum sharpness.

With high bandwidths in the local network (above 200 KBit/s), you can work with maximum picture quality without the refresh rate decreasing noticeably.

Video settings Ù Encoder MPEG-4

The data transmission parameters can be configured to suit the local operating environment

(e.g. network architecture, bandwidth, data structures).

ENG19

Alarm settings Ù Motion detector

The camera contains an integrated video sensor, which on the basis of the video processing can register changes in the video signal. These changes are primarily initiated by movement in the field of view of the camera. The sensitivity of the video sensor can be adjusted, so that an alarm is generated only if a given threshold is exceeded. In order for the alarm to operate, the following conditions must be fulfilled:

¾ the motion detection must be activated.

¾ at least one cell must be activated.

¾ individual parameters must be matched to the environmental conditions and to the required responses.

¾ the sensitivity must be set to a value >0.

Light reflections (e.g. in glass facades), switching on or off of floodlights or light level changes caused by cloud movement in bright daylight can cause undesirable responses from the video sensor and thereby generate false alarms. Carry out a number of tests for different day and night time conditions in order to ensure correct operation of the video sensor. For surveillance of indoor areas, ensure a constant lighting of the areas during the day and at night. Uniform surfaces without contrast can trigger false alarms even with uniform lighting.

Motion detector:

Select sensor field:

Local sensitivity:

Average n [frames]: select here the option On to activate the video sensor. the areas of the image to be monitored by the video sensor are selected here. The video frame is subdivided into 396 quadratic cells. Each of these cells can be activated or deactivated. If it is necessary to exclude particular regions of the camera field of view from the monitoring process because of, say, continuous movement (e.g. due tree movement in a wind), the relevant cells can be deactivated (use mouse click for this operation) the basic sensitivity of the video sensor can be adapted for the ambient camera conditions. The sensor reacts to brightness variations in the video image. The darker the observation range, the greater the value that must be selected here. Adjust the sensitivity by moving the slider to the desired setting with the mouse key held down. it is possible to define the number of frames during which a movement is monitored in order to generate an alarm. In this way,

ENG20

it is possible to prevent generating a false alarm, e.g. by a bird flying across the surveillance area. Select the desired value by moving the slider to the desired position with the mouse key held down.

Object min size [n*] blocks: the number of sensor cells, which a moving object must cover in order to generate an alarm, can be specified. In this way it is

Alarm indicator: possible to prevent too small objects from producing an alarm. For this, the minimum recommended value is 2 (2 × 2 sensor fields).

Select the desired value by moving the slider to the desired position with the mouse key held down. to prevent false alarms, a motion signal can be matched to a given alarm threshold. In this way, for example, it is possible to filter out effects caused by the background noise generated in the camera itself. The blue line indicates the alarm threshold. Any value greater than this will produce an alarm signal. The components of the motion signal generating the alarm are indicated in red. The alarm threshold can be varied to suit individual requirements.

Motion tracking:

Tracker:

Take note of the amplitude of the movement signal displayed in the window over a long period and at all light levels likely to be encountered in practice. Move the mouse pointer onto the blue line.

Holding the left mouse button pressed, move the blue line to the required position. for certain applications, it can make sense to generate an alarm only if movement takes place in a particular direction. You can activate the motion detection and select the direction of movement required to generate an alarm. Select here the option On, in order to activate the motion tracking feature of the video sensor. in the Tracker field you see an arrow, which indicates the current motion in the video image. By means of check boxes in the four corners, the desired direction can be activated. If, for example, all movements to the “left” and “upwards” are to activate an alarm, then mark the top left corner. If all movement to the “left” is to activate the alarm, then check the left upper and the lower left corners. Note the movements indicated by the arrow in the video image over a long period and at all light levels likely to be encountered in practice. Click the check box in order to activate the corresponding directional component.

ENG21

Relay setting Ù Relay configuration

The switching conditions for the relay output can be configured. The function of an open switching relay (normally closed contact) or a closed switching relay (normally open contact) can be specified. It is also possible to specify whether the output should operate as a bistable or as a monostable. In bistable operation, the activated state of the relay remains as switched.

In monostable operation, the time can be selected after which the relay is to revert to its steady state. Various events can be selected to automatically activate the output. In this way, for example, it is possible to switch on a floodlight when a motion alarm has been detected and to switch the light off again at the end of the alarm.

Please note that changing the default configuration the relay will work as set when the camera is powered on but as indicated in the previous session when powered off.

Idle state: select Open if the relay is to operate as a normally open contact or Closed if it is to operate as a normally closed contact.

Operating mode: select the operating mode for the relay. If, for example, a lamp is switched on by an alarm and is to remain on when the alarm has ended, select Bistable.

If an acoustic signal activated by an alarm is to remain on for a period of, for example, 10 seconds, select 10 s.

Relay follows: select a particular event by which the relay is to be activated as required.

The following events can activate the relay:

¾ Off: No relay triggering by events

¾ Connection: Triggering if any connection is established

¾ Video alarm: Triggering caused by loss of the video signal

¾ Motion alarm: Triggering by the motion alarm

¾ Local input: Triggering caused by an external alarm sensor

¾ Remote input: Triggering by a switching contact from a remote location.

Relay name: the relay can be assigned a name from here. The name will be shown on the live page, dependent upon configuration.

Trigger relay: click on the button Relay to manually switch the relay (e.g. for test purposes or to operate a door opener).

Multicast operation is only possible using the UDP protocol. The TCP protocol does not support any multicast connection.

Due to the settings the following ports in your network have to be opened:

TCP (Port 80): port 80

UDP (using Unicast): all UDP ports starting with port 1024 and TCP port 1756

UDP (using Multicast): the defined Multicast video port MPEG-4 and the consecutive

7 ports.

ENG23

Assign IP with DHCP: with the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol set to On a

(changing) IP address is assigned to the device automatically. If you want to give it a dedicated IP address choose Off.

Service settings Ù Multilink – Multicast

Along with a 1:1 connection between a transmitter and a receiver, (unicast) the units provide the option of connecting a number of receivers to simultaneously receive the video signal. This is achieved either by a duplication of the data stream in the unit with subsequent distribution to a number of receivers (multi-unicast) or by distribution of a single data stream on the network itself to a number of receivers in a defined group (multicast).

Requirement for multicast operation is a multicast compliant network with implementation of the UDP protocol and the IGMP protocol. Other group management protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not support any multicast connection.

The devices support the multi-unicast operation up to a maximum of 5 simultaneously connected receivers for MPEG-4. The transparent data connection is maintained from the first unit. However, after 15 seconds of inactivity the data connection is automatically suspended and another unit can exchange transparent data with the transmitter.

For multilink operation, the network is not required to be multicast compatible as the devices are also multi-unicast compatible. Duplication of the data in the unit requires considerable processor power and, under certain circumstances, leads to limitations in the picture quality.

Multicast streaming: select here the option On in order to activate the multicast function.

For that purpose a valid Multicast group IP address has to be entered.

Multicast group IP address:

a precondition for the multicast and the streaming mode in a multicast-compatible network is the establishment of a special IP address (class D address). The network must support the establishment of a group IP address and the Internet Group

Management Protocol (IGMP). The address range is from

224.0.1.0 to 238.255.255.255. With this field left empty (0.0.0.0) the device is sending in multi-unicast mode and streaming is not possible.

Multicast port MPEG-4: this field is read-only and informs about the selected video port.

Assignment of port numbers is done automatically by the software.

Multicast racket TTL: here the number of junctions can be entered a data packet can pass within the network. By setting the parameter you determine the life span of the data packets, e.g. if multicast is operated over a router the value must be greater than 1 to guarantee transmission of the packets.

Service settings Ù Version information

Hardware and software version numbers are only required for information and can not be altered. Keep a record of these numbers in case technical assistance is required.

Service settings Ù Live page settings

The live page can be setup to suit individual requirements. Options are provided here to display different information and operating elements along with the video picture. In addition, individual background images for the main window and for the upper screen area (banner) can be used.

For the background image you can use the file types GIF and JPEG. The file paths must correspond to the type of access (for access to a locally stored file, for example, C:\Images\Logo.gif, for access to an Internet/Intranet file, for example, http://www.cbceurope.com/images/logo.gif). Note that with Internet/Intranet access, the connection must be maintained in order to continually display the image. The image files are not stored in the device.

Start page background URL: enter here the file path to a suitable background image. The

Start page logo URL: image can be stored on a local computer, on a local network or at an Internet address. enter here the file path to a suitable image for the upper screen area (banner). The image can be stored on a local computer, on a local network or at an Internet address.

Path for JPEG/MPEG-4 files: enter here the path to the storage location for the jpegsnapshots and video sequences which can be stored from the live page or the DRAM-Replay.

Service settings Ù Software update

Software upload: the units are designed in such a way that their functions and parameters can be updated with firmware (device software). In such cases, transmit the updated firmware package via the selected network to the device. On termination of the connection, the firmware will be automatically installed.

This allows a device to be remotely serviced and updated without a technician having to modify the device installation on site.

Before starting the firmware upload, ensure that you have selected the correct upload file! An upload of other files can result in the device being no longer addressable and having to be replaced. Please remember that you can damage a camera interrupting a firmware upload.

Configuration download: you can store the configuration setting of the device on a PC and upload stored configuration settings from a PC to the device. (Click on Download)

Configuration upload: upload the configuration, selecting a file and clicking on Upload.

Reset operation

In order to activate the new configuration the system must be rebooted by entering the current IP address followed by a reset operation: ex. http://192.168.0.1/reset

SERVICE

The connection between two IP addresses can be checked using the command ping. You can thus check whether the device in the network is active.

¾ Open the DOS input window and enter the command ping followed by the IP address of the device.

¾ When the device is found, you receive in response: Reply from ..., followed by the number of bytes transmitted and the transmission time in ms. Otherwise the device cannot be addressed via the network. This can have the following causes:

The device is not correctly connected to the network. In this case, check the connecting leads. The device is not correctly integrated into the network. Check the IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway IP.

Reset

In order to activate the new configuration the system must be rebooted by entering the current IP address followed by a reset operation: ex. http://192.168.0.1/reset
