Overview
The VideoEdge® IP SpeedDome Camera (hereafter referred to as IP Dome) operates across an IP
network, e.g. the Internet, a LAN or WAN. The video output from the camera is compressed and
sent across the network using IP transport mechanisms. PTZ camera control outputs from IPconnected controllers will be passed to the dome control electronics, allowing complete
functionality as existing domes at a remote location connected by any kind of IP network.
A built-in web server provides web pages to configure the domes and streams the video using a
customer-selected set of protocols with a standardized transport stream. This will also support
other metadata and audio as required. Emails and movie clips (avi) may be sent across the
network in response to alarms. The IP Dome can operate as a stand alone camera on a network
however it is intended to be integrated into sophisticated security solutions.
The IP Dome is available in four models:
•35X PAL
•35X NTSC
•22X PAL
•22X NTSC
Introduction
The IP Dome can be used with a proprietary Network Video Recording device, for example the
VideoEdge
The maximum number of streams currently supported is four. When using Intellex Direct Protocol
(IDP) a maximum of two streams are supported, running ACC from the WebGUI or ACC from an
network video recording device. When using Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) a maximum of
two streams are supported running MJPEG and MPEG4 or H.264.

Introduction
Features
The following provides information on the features of the IP Dome.
ACC compression
Three quality levels (Super, Normal, and Extended Record) are available on the camera.
Two sensitivity levels (Normal and High) are available on the camera.
Frame Rates

4CIF 30 IPS 25 IPS
2CIF 30 IPS 25 IPS
1CIF 30 IPS 25 IPS
Table 1-1 — Frame Rates
The IP Dome supports a maximum or 30/25 (NTSC/PAL) images per second per video channel at
4 CIF. Actual frame rates may be less due to high motion. Multiple Ethernet connections can limit
the maximum available IPS rate per connection.

Video loss detection
In the event of video loss, an alarm is generated. The alarm is automatically cleared when the
video is restored.
Bandwidth Throttling
When bandwidth throttling is turned on, the camera will attempt to restrict the total bandwidth of all
camera activity to within the specified limits by varying the quality of all video streams. When the
limit is exceeded, for example, by sudden movement in the captured image, the quality of each
codec is reduced by one unit, until the total bandwidth lies below the limit. When the camera
detects that there is sufficient bandwidth available, for example, when the motion stops, it will
increase the video quality by single steps.
1-2 Configuration and User Guide
Introduction
This may continue until the total bandwidth reaches 85% of the upper limit, in order to prevent
instability due to continuous throttling. The video quality cannot be increased beyond the original
user configured quality.
The throttling is not carried out on any MJPEG codec if it is only being used for the alarm buffer,
since this is not being streamed over the network.
When bandwidth throttling is turned off, all affected codecs' quality is restored to the original
configured value.
Web Configuration
The IP Dome’s web configuration feature allows you to access the configuration and setting details
for the camera. Depending on user access you can view Live video and control the camera
through PTZ controls as well as changing the settings for the camera environment.

Install and Detect the IP Dome
The following provides detailed information for installing and accessing the IP Dome.
Installation using DHCP and Bonjour for Windows
The following provides information for installing the IP Dome on your network using the Zeroconf
service discovery protocol and Apple Inc.'s application discovery tool, called Bonjour.
Bonjour, enables automatic discovery of devices on IP networks and is the recommended method
for installation and detection of the IP Dome on the network.
Note
A known limitation of Bonjour for Windows is that it is not always able to maintain an up-to-date list
of IP devices. If Bonjour fails to connect to an IP Dome after the IP Address has been changed,
please restart Microsoft Internet Explorer and re-select the IP Dome in the Bonjour toolbar.
Procedure 2-1 Installing the IP Dome using Bonjour for Windows
1 Using the Quick Start Guide install and connect the IP Dome to the computer or network which
will be used for the configuration and power on.
The camera will begin its initial boot up sequence which will take approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
2 When using a DHCP Server the IP Dome will automatically be assigned a Network IP Address.
Installation
3 Using a computer which is connected to the Internet, go to the Apple website (www.apple.com)
and download the Bonjour for Windows discovery tool from
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/windows/bonjourforwindows.html.
4 Follow the directions provided by the installation file to install Bonjour for Windows on the
computer that will be used to configure the IP Dome.
5 When the installation is complete, open Microsoft Internet Explorer. To open the Bonjour
toolbar click on the Bonjour icon. Alternatively you may also enable Bonjour by selecting View >
Explorer Bar > Bonjour.
6 The Bonjour toolbar will list all IP devices found on the network. The IP Dome is identified as

Procedure 2-2 Installing the IP Dome using DHCP Server Logs
1 Using the Quick Start Guide install and connect the IP Dome to the computer or network which
will be used for the configuration and power on.
The camera will begin its initial boot up sequence which will take approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
2 When using a DHCP Server the IP Dome will automatically be assigned a Network IP Address.

4 Open Microsoft Internet Explorer and enter the URL of the IP Dome as shown in the DHCP
Server log.
Note
The computer being used to configure the IP Dome must have an IP address on the same
subnet.
5 Refer to the Web Configuration chapter for details on how to log in to the IP Dome and modify
the configuration.
Installation without a DCHP Server using a Static IP Address
The following provides information for installing the IP Dome on your network when no DHCP
Server is available. In this situation the IP Dome will be assigned a Static IP Address.
Note
We recommend that once you are logged into the Web Configuration pages you change the Static
IP Address of the camera so that conflicts can be avoided when using the same Static IP Address
to setup additional cameras. Refer to
address of the IP Dome.

Procedure 2-3 Installing the IP Dome when a DHCP Server is not available
1 Using the Quick Start Guide install and connect the IP Dome to the computer or network which
will be used for the configuration and power on.
The camera will begin its initial boot up sequence which will take approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
2 The IP Dome will attempt to obtain an IP Address from the DHCP Server. When no DHCP
Server is available the IP Dome will be assigned a Static IP address of 192.168.0.80.
