3 System Information

3.1 Overview of functions

The camera incorporates a network video server. Its primary function is to encode video and control data for transmission over an IP network. With its H.264 encoding, it is ideally suited for IP communication and for remote access to digital video recorders and IP systems. The use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be achieved quickly and easily. Video images from a single camera can be simultaneously received on several receivers.

3.1.1 Progressive scan

The camera captures and processes progressively scanned images. When there is fast motion in a scene, progressively scanned images are generally sharper than interlaced images.

3.1.2 Day/Night function

The Day/Night function provides enhanced night viewing by increasing the IR sensitivity. The motorized IR filter can be removed in low-light or IR illuminated applications. The IR filter switches from color to monochrome automatically by sensing the illumination level. In auto switching mode the camera prioritizes motion (the camera gives sharp images without motion blur) or color (the camera gives color pictures as long as the light level permits).

3.1.3 Wide dynamic range

A unique combination of 20-bit digital video processing that enhances sensitivity and 2X-Dynamic which extends the dynamic range, provides a sharper, more detailed image with outstanding accuracy in color reproduction. The 20-bit digital signal is automatically processed to optimally capture the detail in both the high and low light areas of the scene simultaneously, maximizing the information visible in the picture.

AR18-10-B006 | v1.1 | 2010.06 Installation and Operation Manual Bosch Security Systems

Page 19

Dinion2X IP Camera System Information | en 19

3.1.4 Tri-streaming

Tri-streaming allows the data stream to be encoded simultaneously according to three different, individually customized profiles. This creates two full H.264 streams that can serve different purposes and an additional M-JPEG stream.

3.1.5 ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum)

The camera complies to the ONVIF standard which means that it is easier to install and integrate into larger systems. The ONVIF standard is a global standard for the interface of network video products.

3.1.6 Audio

Two-way duplex audio is available in the unit for live voice communications or audio recording.

3.1.7 Alarm I/O

The alarm input can be used to control the functionality of the unit. An alarm output can control external devices.

3.1.8 Tamper detection and motion detectors

The camera offers a wide range of configuration options for alarm signaling in the event of tampering with the camera. An algorithm for detecting movement in the video image is also part of the scope of delivery and can optionally be extended to include special video analysis algorithms.

3.1.9 Video encoding

The camera uses the H.264 compression standards. Thanks to efficient encoding, the data rate remains low even with high image quality and can also be adapted to local conditions within wide limits.

3.1.10 Multicast

In suitably configured networks, the multicast function enables simultaneous, real time transmission to multiple receivers. The prerequisite for this is that the UDP and IGMP V2 protocols are implemented on the network.

3.1.13 Receiver

H.264 compatible hardware decoders can be used as a receiver. Computers with decoding software such as VIDOS, or computers with the Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser installed, can also be used as receivers.

3.1.14 Recording

The camera can be used with an iSCSI server connected via the network to store long-term recordings.

3.1.15 Snapshots

Individual video frames (snapshots) can be called up as JPEG images, stored on the hard drive, or displayed in a separate browser window.

3.1.16 Backup

The browser application has an icon for saving the video images provided by the unit as a file on your computer's hard drive. Clicking this icon stores the video sequences and they can be replayed with the Player from Bosch Security Systems included with the package.

3.1.17 Configuration

6.3 Day/Night switching

The camera is equipped with a motorized IR filter. The mechanical IR filter can be removed in low-light or IR illuminated applications by software configuration settings. If Auto switching mode is selected, the camera automatically switches the filter depending on the observed light level. The switching level is programmable. In Auto switching mode the camera prioritizes motion (the camera gives sharp images without motion blur as long as the light level permits) or color (the camera gives color pictures as long as the light level permits). The camera recognizes IR illuminated scenes to prevent unwanted switching to color mode. There are four different methods of controlling the IR filter: – via an alarm input, – automatically, based on the observed light levels, or – as part of the programmable mode profile.

8.2 Device Access

8.2.1 Camera name

Assign a name to assist in identification. This name simplifies the management of multiple devices in more extensive systems. The name is used for remote identification, for example, in the event of an alarm. Enter a name that makes it as easy as possible to identify the location unambiguously.

8.2.2 Password

A password prevents unauthorized access to the device. The device recognizes three authorization levels: service, user, and live. – service is the highest authorization level. Entering the

correct password gives access to all the functions of the camera and allows all configuration settings to be changed.

– user is the middle authorization level. This user can

operate the device, play back recordings, and also control a camera but cannot change the configuration.

– live is the lowest authorization level. It can only be used to

view the live video image and switch between the different live image displays.

Use the various authorization levels to limit access. Proper password protection is only guaranteed if all higher authorization levels are also protected with a password. For example, if a live password is assigned, a service and a user password should also be set. When assigning passwords, always start from the highest authorization level, service, and use different passwords.

Password

Define and change a separate password for each level while logged in as service or if the device is not protected by a password. Enter the password for the selected level.

Bosch Security Systems Installation and Operation Manual AR18-10-B006 | v1.1 | 2010.06

Confirm password

Re-enter the new password to ensure that there are no typing mistakes. The new password is only saved after clicking Set. Therefore, click Set immediately after entering and confirming the password, even if assigning a password at another level.

8.3 Date/Time

Device date, time and zone

If there are multiple devices operating in the system or network, it is important to synchronize their internal clocks. For example, it is only possible to identify and correctly evaluate simultaneous recordings when all devices are operating on the same time. As the device time is controlled by the internal clock, it is not necessary to enter the day or date of the week. These are set automatically. The time zone in which the system is located is also set automatically.

1. Click Sync to PC to apply the system time from your computer to the device.

Time server IP address

The camera can receive the time signal from a time server using various time server protocols and then use it to set the internal clock. The device polls the time signal automatically once every minute. Enter the IP address of a time server.

Time server type

Select the protocol that is supported by the selected time server. It is recommended to select the SNTP server protocol. This protocol provides high accuracy and is required for special applications and future function extensions. Select Time server if the server uses the RFC 868 protocol.

Note:

It is important to ensure that the date/time is correct for recording. An incorrect date/time setting could prevent correct recording.

Profile Configuration

Profiles can be configured for use with the H.264 settings of encoder streams. Select a profile by clicking the appropriate tab. Change the name of a profile and individual parameter values within a profile. Profiles are rather complex. They include a number of parameters that interact with one another, so it is generally best to use the default profiles. Only change a profile if completely familiar with all the configuration options. The parameters as a group constitute a profile and are dependent on one another. If a setting outside the permitted range for a parameter is entered, the nearest valid value is substituted when the settings are saved.

Profile name

Enter a new name for the profile here.

Target data rate

To optimize utilization of the bandwidth in the network, limit the data rate for the camera. The target data rate should be set according to the desired picture quality for typical scenes with no excessive motion. For complex images or frequent changes of image content due to frequent movements, this limit can temporarily be exceeded up to the value entered in the Maximum data rate field.

Maximum data rate

This maximum data rate is not exceeded under any circumstances. Depending on the video quality settings for the

AR18-10-B006 | v1.1 | 2010.06 Installation and Operation Manual Bosch Security Systems

Page 65

Dinion2X IP Camera Advanced Mode | en 65

I-frames and P-frames, this can result in individual images being skipped. The value entered here must be at least 10% higher than the value entered in the Target data rate field. If the value entered here is too low, it is automatically adjusted.

Encoding interval

The Encoding interval slider determines the interval at which images are encoded and transmitted. This can be particularly advantageous with low bandwidths. The image rate in ips (images per second) is displayed next to the slider.

Video resolution

Select the desired resolution for the video image. The following resolutions are available: – CIF

352 × 288/240 pixels

– 4CIF/D1

704 × 576/480 pixels

Expert Settings

if necessary, use the expert settings to adapt the I-frame quality and the P-frame quality to specific requirements. The setting is based on the H.264 quantization parameter (QP).

I-frame quality

This setting adjusts the image quality of the I-frames. The basic setting Auto automatically adjusts the quality to the settings for the P-frame video quality. Alternatively, use the slider to set a value between 9 and 51. The value 9 represents the best image quality with, if necessary, a lower frame refresh rate depending on the settings for the maximum data rate. A value of 51 results in a very high refresh rate and lower image quality.

P-frame quality

This setting adjusts the maximum image quality of the P-frames. The basic setting Auto automatically adjusts to the optimum combination of movement and image definition (focus). Alternatively, use the slider to set a value between 9 and 51.

9.6.1 Mode

Pre-defined modes

The camera has six pre-programmed operating modes that can be selected in the Mode menu. The modes are defined as follows:

1. 24-hour Default installation mode to provide stable pictures over a 24-hour period. These settings are optimized for out-ofthe-box installation.

2. Traffic Capture high-speed objects using default shutter in variable lighting conditions.

3. Low light Provide extra enhancement, such as AGC and SensUp to make usable pictures in low-light conditions.

4. Smart BLC Settings optimized to capture details in high contrast and extremely bright-dark conditions.

Page 70

70 en | Advanced Mode Dinion2X IP Camera

5. Low noise Enhancements are set to reduce picture noise. Useful for conditional refresh DVR and IP storage systems because reducing noise reduces the amount of storage required.

6. Infrared Use this mode if the camera is viewing a scene lit by infrared light.

These modes are pre-programmed by default but can be adjusted according to personal preferences. The Mode menu allows selection and set-up of picture enhancement functions for each mode. If the changes are not satisfactory, restore the default values for the mode.

Mode ID

Enter a name for the selected mode.

Copy mode to

Select a mode to copy the current mode to.

Restore Mode Defaults

Click to restore the factory defaults. A confirmation screen appears. Allow 5 seconds for the camera to optimize the picture after a mode reset.

9.6.2 ALC

ALC level

Adjust the video output level (-15 to 0 to +15). Select the range within which the ALC will operate. A positive value is more useful for low-light conditions; a negative value is more useful for very bright conditions. Some ALC adjustment may improve scene content when Smart/ BLC is enabled.

Peak average

Adjust the balance between peak and average video control (-15 to 0 to +15). At -15 the camera controls the average video level, at +15 the camera controls the peak video level.

AR18-10-B006 | v1.1 | 2010.06 Installation and Operation Manual Bosch Security Systems

Page 71

Dinion2X IP Camera Advanced Mode | en 71

A negative value gives more priority to average light levels; a positive value gives more priority to peak light levels. Video iris lens: choose an average level for best results (peak settings may cause oscillations).

Speed

Adjust the speed of the video level control loop (Slow, Medium, or Fast). For most scenes it should remain at the default value.

9.6.3 Shutter/AGC

Shutter

– Fixed — allows a user-defined shutter speed. – AES (auto-shutter) — the camera automatically sets the

optimum shutter speed. The camera tries to maintain the selected default shutter speed as long as the light level of the scene permits.

– FL — flickerless mode avoids interference from light

sources (recommended for use with video iris or DC iris lenses only).

Default shutter / Fixed shutter

Select the shutter speed (1/60 [1/50], 1/100, 1/120, 1/250, 1/ 500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/5000, 1/10K) for the default (AES) or fixed value. In AES mode, the camera tries to maintain the selected shutter speed as long as the light level of the scene is high enough. In Fixed mode, select the shutter speed.

Actual shutter

Displays the actual shutter value from the camera to help compare lighting levels and optimum shutter speed during setup.

Sensitivity up

Selects the factor by which the sensitivity of the camera is increased (OFF, 2x, 3x, etc. to a maximum of 10x).

Bosch Security Systems Installation and Operation Manual AR18-10-B006 | v1.1 | 2010.06

Page 72

72 en | Advanced Mode Dinion2X IP Camera

Note:

If Sensitivity up is active, some noise or spots may appear in the picture. This is normal camera behavior. Sensitivity up may cause some motion blur on moving objects.

Gain AGC - the camera automatically sets the gain to the lowest

possible value needed to maintain a good picture.

Fixed - sets Fixed gain value.

Maximum gain / Fixed gain

Selects the maximum value the gain can have during AGC operation (0 to 30 dB). Selects the gain setting for Fixed gain operation (0 is no gain).

Actual gain

Displays the actual AGC value from the camera to help compare gain level with lighting levels and picture performance.

9.6.4 Day/night

The Day/Night camera is equipped with a motorized IR (infrared) filter. The IR filter can be removed in low-light or IRilluminated applications. There are four different methods of switching: – via the alarm input, – as part of the programmable mode profile, – automatically, based on the observed light levels, or – via the settings page.

Day/night Auto - the camera switches the IR cut-off filter on and off

depending on the scene illumination level. Monochrome - the IR cut-off filter is removed, giving full IR sensitivity. Color - the camera always produces a color signal regardless of light levels.

Switch level

Set the video Switch level at which the camera in Auto mode switches to monochrome operation (-15 to 0 to +15).

AR18-10-B006 | v1.1 | 2010.06 Installation and Operation Manual Bosch Security Systems

Page 73

Dinion2X IP Camera Advanced Mode | en 73

A low (negative) value means that the camera switches to monochrome at a lower light level. A high (positive) value means that the camera switches to monochrome at a higher light level.

Priority

In Auto switching mode, set the camera priority to either: – Color: the camera gives color pictures as long as the light

level permits.

– Motion: the camera gives sharp images without motion

blur as long as the light level permits (it switches to

monochrome earlier than it would with Color priority). The camera recognizes IR-illuminated scenes to prevent unwanted switching to color mode.

IR contrast

There are two modes for IR contrast: – Enhanced: the camera optimizes contrast in applications

with high IR illumination levels. Select this mode for IR

(730 to 940 nm) light sources and for scenes with grass

and green foliage. – Normal: the camera optimizes contrast in mono

applications with visible light illumination.

Color burst

– Off: the color burst in the video signal is switched Off in

monochrome mode. – On: the color burst remains active even in monochrome

mode (required by some DVRs and IP encoders).

9.6.5 Enhance

Dynamic engine

– Off: turns off all automatic scene detail and enhancements

(only recommendedfor testing). – XF Dynamic: extra internal processing is enabled for low-

light applications (traffic, etc.). – 2X Dynamic: 2X Dynamic adds dual sensor exposure to the

XF Dynamic features. In harsh lighting conditions pixels

from each exposure are mixed to give a more detailed image (use 2X Dynamic when SmartBLC is not required).

– Smart BLC: BLC window and weighting factor are

automatically defined. Camera dynamically adjusts these for changing light conditions. Includes all the benefits of 2X Dynamic.

Auto black

Auto black ON automatically increases the visibility of details even when scene contrast is less than full-range due to mist, fog, etc.

Sharpness level

Adjusts the black level between -15 and +15. Zero position of slider corresponds to the factory default black level. A low (negative) value makes the picture less sharp. Increasing sharpness brings out more detail. Extra sharpness can enhance the details of license plates, facial features and the edges of certain surfaces.

Dynamic noise reduction

In AUTO mode the camera automatically reduces the noise in the picture. This may cause some motion blur on exceptionally fast moving objects immediately in front of the camera. This can be corrected by widening the field of view or selecting Off.

Peak white invert

Use Peak white invert to reduce glare from the CRT/LCD display. Use in ANPR/LPR applications to reduce headlight glare. (Test on-site to ensure that it does benefit the application and is not distracting for operators.)

9.6.6 Color

White balance

– ATW: Auto tracking white balance allows the camera to

continually adjust for optimal color reproduction.

– AWB hold: Puts ATW on hold and saves the color settings.

3. Click Copy Settings to copy the currently visible settings to other profiles. A window opens to select the target profiles for the copied settings.

4. For each profile, click Set to save.

Stream profile settings

Select the profile setting that is to be used for each data stream when recording. This selection is independent of the selection for live data stream transmission. (The properties of the profiles are defined on the Encoder Profile page.)

Recording includes

Specify whether, in addition to video data, audio or metadata (for example alarms or VCA data) should also be recorded. Including metadata could make subsequent searches of recordings easier but it requires additional memory capacity. Without metadata, it is not possible to include video content analysis in recordings.

Standard recording

Select the mode for standard recordings: – Continuous: the recording proceeds continuously. If the

maximum memory capacity is reached, older recordings will automatically be overwritten.

– Pre-alarm: recording takes place in the pre-alarm time,

during the alarm and during the post-alarm time only.

– Off: no automatic recording takes place.

Setting destination 10 to the IP-address 0.0.0.0 overrides its function as the tenth address to try.

Video transmission If the device is operated behind a firewall, select TCP (HTTP port) as the transfer protocol. For use in a local network, select UDP.

Please note that in some circumstances, in the event of an alarm, a larger bandwidth must be available on the network for additional video images (if Multicast operation is not possible). To enable Multicast operation, select the UDP option for the

Video transmission parameter here and on the Network page.

Remote port

Select a browser port, depending on the network configuration. The ports for HTTPS connections are only available if the On option in SSL encryption is selected.

Video output

If it is known which device is being used as the receiver, select the analog video output to which the signal should be switched. If the destination device is unknown, it is advisable to select the First available option. In this case, the image is placed on the first free video output. This is an output on which there is no signal. The connected monitor only displays images when an alarm is triggered. If a particular video output is selected and a split image is set for this output on the receiver, select the decoder from Decoder in the receiver that is to be used to display the alarm image. Refer to the destination device

9.8.2 Video Content Analyses (VCA)

The camera has integrated VCA which can detect and analyze changes in the signal using image processing algorithms. Such changes can be due to movements in the camera's field of view. Select various VCA configurations and adapt these to your application, as required. The Silent MOTION+ configuration is active by default. In this configuration, metadata is created to facilitate searches of recordings, however, no alarm is triggered.

1. Select a VCA configuration and make the required settings.

2. If necessary, click the Default button to return all settings to their default values.

Note:

If there is not enough computing power, priority is given to live images and recordings. This can lead to impairment of the VCA system. Observe the processor load and optimize the encoder settings or the VCA settings if necessary, or turn off VCA completely.

1. To rename the file, click the icon to the right of the list field and enter the new profile name in the field.

2. Click the icon again. The new profile name is saved.

The current alarm status is displayed for information purposes.

Aggregation time (s)

Set an aggregation time of between 0 and 20 seconds. The aggregation time always starts when an alarm event occurs. It extends the alarm event by the value set. This prevents alarm events that occur in quick succession from triggering several alarms and successive events in a rapid sequence. No further alarm is triggered during the aggregation time. The post-alarm time set for alarm recordings only starts once the aggregation time has expired.

Analysis type

Select the required analysis algorithm. By default, only Motion+ is available — this offers a motion detector and essential recognition of tampering.

AR18-10-B006 | v1.1 | 2010.06 Installation and Operation Manual Bosch Security Systems

Page 89

Dinion2X IP Camera Advanced Mode | en 89

Metadata is always created for a video content analysis, unless this was explicitly excluded. Depending on the analysis type selected and the relevant configuration, additional information overlays the video image in the preview window next to the parameter settings. With the Motion+ analysis type, for example, the sensor fields in which motion is recorded are marked with rectangles.

Note:

Additional analysis algorithms with comprehensive functions, such as IVMD and IVA, are available from Bosch Security Systems.

Motion detector

Motion detection is available for the Motion+ analysis type. For the detector to function, the following conditions must be met: – Analysis must be activated. – At least one sensor field must be activated. – The individual parameters must be configured to suit the

operating environment and the desired responses.

– The sensitivity must be set to a value greater than zero.

Note:

Reflections of light (from glass surfaces, etc.), lights switching on and off, or changes in the light level caused by cloud movement on a sunny day can trigger unintended responses from the motion detector and generate false alarms. Run a series of tests at different times of the day and night to ensure that the video sensor is operating as intended. For indoor surveillance, ensure constant lighting of the areas during the day and at night.

Sensitivity

Sensitivity is available for the Motion+ analysis type. The basic sensitivity of the motion detector can be adjusted for the environmental conditions to which the camera is subject. The sensor reacts to variations in the brightness of the video image. The darker the observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.

Bosch Security Systems Installation and Operation Manual AR18-10-B006 | v1.1 | 2010.06

Page 90

90 en | Advanced Mode Dinion2X IP Camera

Minimum object size

Specify the number of sensor fields that a moving object must cover to generate an alarm. This setting prevents objects that are too small from triggering an alarm. A minimum value of 4 is recommended. This value corresponds to four sensor fields.

Debounce time 1 s

The debounce time prevents very brief alarm events from triggering individual alarms. If the Debounce time 1 s option is activated, an alarm event must last at least 1 second to trigger an alarm.

Selecting the area

Select the areas of the image to be monitored by the motion detector. The video image is subdivided into square sensor fields. Activate or deactivate each of these fields individually. To exclude particular regions of the camera's field of view from monitoring due to continuous movement (by a tree in the wind, for example), the relevant fields can be deactivated.

1. Click Select Area to configure the sensor fields. A new window opens.

2. If necessary, click Clear All first to clear the current selection (fields marked red).

3. Left-click the fields to be activated. Activated fields are marked red.

4. If necessary, click Select All to select the entire videoframe for monitoring.

5. Right-click any fields to deactivate.

6. Click OK to save the configuration.

7. Click the close button (X) in the window title bar to close the window without saving the changes.

Tamper detection

Detect tampering of cameras and video cables by means of various options. Run a series of tests at different times of the day and night to ensure that the video sensor is operating as intended.

AR18-10-B006 | v1.1 | 2010.06 Installation and Operation Manual Bosch Security Systems

Page 91

Dinion2X IP Camera Advanced Mode | en 91

Sensitivity and Trigger delay (s) can only be changed if Reference check is selected.

Sensitivity

The basic sensitivity of the tamper detection can be adjusted for the environmental conditions to which the camera is subject. The algorithm reacts to the differences between the reference image and the current video image. The darker the observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.

Trigger delay (s)

Set delayed alarm triggering here. The alarm is only triggered after a set time interval in seconds has elapsed and then only if the triggering condition still exists. If the original condition has been restored before this time interval elapses, the alarm is not triggered. This avoids false alarms triggered by short-term changes, for example, cleaning activities in the direct field of vision of the camera.

Global change (slider)

Set how large the global change in the video image must be for an alarm to be triggered. This setting is independent of the sensor fields selected under Select Area. Set a high value if fewer sensor fields need to change to trigger an alarm. With a low value, it is necessary for changes to occur simultaneously in a large number of sensor fields to trigger an alarm. This option allows detection, independently of motion alarms, manipulation of the orientation or location of a camera resulting from turning the camera mount bracket, for example.

Global change

Activate this function if the global change, as set with the Global change slide control, should trigger an alarm.

Scene too bright

Activate this function if tampering associated with exposure to extreme light (for instance, shining a flashlight directly on the objective) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of the scene provides a basis for recognition.

Bosch Security Systems Installation and Operation Manual AR18-10-B006 | v1.1 | 2010.06

Page 92

92 en | Advanced Mode Dinion2X IP Camera

Scene too dark

Activate this function if tampering associated with covering the objective (for instance, by spraying paint on it) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of the scene provides a basis for recognition.

Scene too noisy

Activate this function if tampering associated with EMC interference (noisy scene as the result of a strong interference signal in the vicinity of the video lines) should trigger an alarm.

Reference check

Save a reference image that can be continuously compared with the current video image. If the current video image in the marked areas differs from the reference image, an alarm is triggered. This detects tampering that would otherwise not be detected, for example, if the camera is turned.

1. Click Reference to save the currently visible video- image as a reference.

2. Click Select Area and select the areas in the reference image that are to be monitored.

3. Check the box Reference check to activate the on-going check. The stored reference image is displayed in black and white below the current video image, and the selected areas are marked in yellow.

4. Select the Disappearing edges or Appearing edges option to specify the reference check once again.

Disappearing edges

The area selected in the reference image should contain a prominent structure. If this structure is concealed or moved, the reference check triggers an alarm. If the selected area is too homogenous, so that concealing and moving the structure would not trigger an alarm, then an alarm is triggered immediately to indicate the inadequate reference image.

AR18-10-B006 | v1.1 | 2010.06 Installation and Operation Manual Bosch Security Systems

Dinion2X IP Camera Advanced Mode | en 93

Appearing edges

Select this option if the selected area of the reference image includes a largely homogenous surface. If structures appear in this area, then an alarm is triggered.

Selecting the area

Select the image areas in the reference image that are to be monitored. The video image is subdivided into square fields. Activate or deactivate each of these fields individually. Select only those areas for reference monitoring in which no movement takes place and that are always evenly lit, as false alarms could otherwise be triggered.

1. Click Select Area to configure the sensor fields. A new window opens.

2. If necessary, click Clear All first to clear the current selection (fields marked yellow).

3. Left-click the fields to be activated. Activated fields are marked yellow.
