1.4 Camera Adjustment

1) Video auto IRIS installation & adjustment

The camera supports video-type auto iris lenses which adjust to changing light levels.
Perform the following steps to install and adjust a video-type auto iris lens.

If necessary, solder the lens control wires to the connector supplied with the camera.

1. Attach the video-type auto iris lens to the lens mount on the front of the camera.

Pin Name Wire Color

1 Voltage + Red
2 Open ­3 Video White

4

Ground

Black

2. IMPORTANT: The minimum Plug the connector from the lens into the auto iris jack on the
back of the camera. The connector is polarized and can only be inserted into the jack one
way.

11

3. Apply power to the camera.

4. The OSD AE menu in the lens select should be in the “VI DEO”.

5. Adjust the focus ring on the lens for an optimum picture. If a picture is not visible, set the

lens for proper exposure by adjusting the ALC (Automatic Level Control) and the level on the
lens. The ALC setting can range between AVG (average) or PK (peak). A midrange setting is
appropriate for most applications.

For ALC adjustments: AVG To slow the reaction of the lens to changing light, set the
range to the AVG setting to average the video level from the camera. Use when there are
bright spots in the picture such as lights or glare from the sun.
PK To increase the speed of the lens reaction to the changing light, set the lens adjustment
to PK so the lens will adjust to the brightest or peak object in the video. Use this setting if
you want to see the brightest object and not the background objects.

For Level adjustments: Adjust the level control for the best picture during the day. A
night adjustment ma y not provide the proper setting for controlling the light during the day.

6. Set the back focus of the camera before the final adjustment of the video level.

7. If the auto iris has a gain adjustment and the picture oscillates between open and closed

under bright lights, slowly turn the gain adjustment counter clockwise until the oscillating
stops. Increase the light getting to the camera by adjusting the level control and r e­adjusting the gain control.

2) DC auto IRIS lens installation & adjustment

1. Solder the lens cont rol wires to the connector supplied with the camera.

Pin Name Wire Color

1 Damp Coil - Blue

2

Damp Coil +

Red

3 Drive Coil + White
4 Drive Coil - Green

2. Attach the DC-type auto iris lens to the lens mount on the front of the camera.

12

3. Plug the connector into the auto iris jack on the side of the camera. The connector is
polarized and can only insert into the jack one way.

4. Apply power to the camera.

3) Manual IRIS lens adjustment

When using a manual iris lens, turn the iris ring on the le ns to the O PEN position and adjust the
manual iris for the appropriate range. Adjust during the brightest conditions, opening the lens to
the minimum f-stop yielding a good picture under the brightest scene conditions. Do not saturate
the picture.
The manual iris is used in indoor applications where lighting from window s can considerably
affect the light level of the room.

4) Back Focus adjustment

For best results, perform back focus adjustments at night or while using a #6 or #8 welder's
glass in front of the lens. The focus of the camera will change slightly if the camera iris was
adjusted on a light scene, then changes to a dark scene. However, the camera will remain in
focus if the iris was focused on a dark scene and the scene lightens.

1. The lens should be mounted on the camera before applying power.

2. If a picture is visible, focus on the picture. If the picture is not visible, open the iris on the

lens. Open the lens as wide as possible by placing the welder's glass in front of the lens and
forcing the lens to automatically open.

3. When the iris is open to the widest point, re-adjust the focus for clear picture. If a clear

picture is not possible, set the focus ring to midrange.

4. Loosen the b ack focus lock screw.

5. Adjust the back focus ring for a clear picture.

6. Tighten the back focus lock screw.

7. Fine tune the focus with the focus ring on the lens.

13

8. Remove the welder's glass from in front of the lens.

9. Adjust the iris of the lens for the best picture quality.

5) Zoom lens back focus adjustment

The objective of back focusing a zoom lens is similar to that of a fixed focal length camera except
the back focus is also adjusted to maintain the focus when "zooming" the lens in and out on a
scene.

1. Choose an object at the farthest range set for viewing with a zoom lens.

2. Make sure the iris of the lens is wide open. Do this by adjusting the camera at night or use

a welders glass in front of the lens.

3. Adjust the focus to the stop on the far range.

4. Adjust the zoom on the lens to obtain the widest picture.

5. Loosen the back focus lock screw.

6. Adjust the back focus ring for the clearest picture.

7. Tighten the back focus lock screw.

8. Adjust the zoom on the lens to the far telephoto position.

9. Adjust the back focus ring for the clearest picture.

10. Adjust the zoom on the lens back to the widest picture.

11. Loosen the back focus screw.

12. Re-adjust the back focus for the clearest picture.

13. Tighten the back focus lock screw.

14. Repeat the previous steps as necessary to maintain a clear picture throughout the entire

zoom range.

2) Network

22

The network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled
simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled. When using IPv4, the IP address for
the network camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually.
If IPv6 is enabled, the network camera receive an IP address according to the configuration in the
network router. There is also the op tion of using the Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more
information on setting the Network, please see Setup> System>Security>Network.

• Obtain IP address via DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol
that lets net work administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP
addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP server is mostly
used to set an IP ad d r ess dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP
address for a pa r ticular MAC address.

• Use the following IP address - To use a static IP address for the Network Camera,
check the radio button and then make the following settings:

- IP address - Specify a unique I P address for your Network Camera.

- Subnet mask - Specify the mask for the subnet the Network Camera is located on.

- Default router - Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for
connecting devices attached to different networks and network segments.

Notes:

1. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if your DHCP server can

update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the Network Camera by name (host name).
If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, you may have to reset it to the factory
default settings and then perform the installation again.

2. The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two m inutes after the unit is started, or
as soon as an IP ad d r ess is set.

3. Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.

3) Video & Image

23

• Stream1 Setting

- Codec:
The codec settings are separated into MPEG4 and H.264.

H.264 is a

lso known as MPEG-4 Part 10. This is the new generation compression standard for digital
video. This function offers higher v ide o res oluti on tha n Mot ion JPEG or MPEG-4 at the same bit rate and
bandwidth, or the same quality video at a lower bit rate.

There are 4 pre-programmed stream profiles available for quick set-up. Choose the form of
video encoding you wish to use from the drop-down list:

* H.264 HP(High Profile): The primary profile for broadca st and disc storage applications,

particularly for high-definition television applications (for example, this is the profile adopted
by the Blu-ray Dis c storage format and the DVB HDTV broa dcast service).

* H.264 MP(Main Profile):

Primarily for low-cost applications that requires additional e r r or robustness, this profile is
used rarely in videoconferencing and mobile applications, it does add additional error
resilience tools to the Constrained Baseline Profile. The importance of this profile is fading
after the Constrained Baseline Profile has been defined.

* H.264 BP(Baseline Profile):

Originally intended as the mainstream consumer profile for broadcast and storage
applications, the importance of this profile faded when the High profile was developed for
those applications.

* MPEG4 SP(Simple Profile):

24

Mostly aimed for use in situations where low bit rate and low resolution are mandated by
other conditions of the applications, like network bandwidth, device size etc.

- Resolution:

It enables users to determine a basic screen size when having an access through the Web
Browser or PC program. The screen size control comes in seven modes like 1920x1080,
1280x1024, 1280x720, 704x480(576), 640x480, 352x240(288), and 320x240. Users can
reset the selected screen size anytime while monitoring the screen on a real-time basis.

- Bitrate control:

The bit rate can be set as Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR). VBR adjusts
the bit rate according to the image complexity, using up bandwidth for increased activity in
the image, and less for lower activity in the monitored area.

CBR allows you to set a fixed target bitrate t ha t consumes a predictable amount of
bandwidth. As the bit rate would usually need to increase for increased image activity, but in
this case cannot, the frame rate and image quality are affected negatively. To partly
compensate for this, it is possible to prioritize either the frame rate or the image quality
whenever the bit rate needs to be increased. Not setting a priority means the frame rate and
image quality are equally affected.

- Bitrate:

When it is necessary to adjust a smooth transmission status according to network situat ions,

users can increase the compressibility to carry out the network transmission stably. On the
other hand, when it is necessary to maintain a detailed monitoring screen by en hancing the
image quality, users can do so by decreasing the compressibility. In ease case, please adjust
this function according to the network status and monitoring purposes. The default is
2000(Kbps).

- Frame rate:

Upon the real-time play, users should select a frame refresh rate per second. If the rate is
high, the image will become smooth. On the other hand, if the rate is low, the image will not
be natural but it can reduce a network load.

- GOP size:

Select the GOP(Group of Picture) size. If users want to have a high quality of fast image one
by one, please decrease the value. For the purpose of general monitoring, please do not
change a basic value. Such act may cause a problem to the system performance. For the
details of GOP setting, please contact the service center.

• Stream2 Setting

Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the frame rate
and quality helps to control the bandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG vid eo stream in
these situations. Limiting the frame rate and quality optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but
may give poor image quality. To prevent increased bandwidth and storage usage, the Resolution,
Frame rate, and Frame Quality should be set to an optimal value.

- JPEG resolution: Same as the Stream1 Setting.

- JPEG frame rate: Same as the Stream1 Setting.

- JPEG quality:

25

Select the picture quality. If users want to have a high quality of fast image one by one,
please decrease the value. For the purpose of general monitoring, please do not change a
basic value. Such act may cause a problem to the system performance.

26

Depending on the selected encoding, set the desired audio quality (bitrate). The settings
affect the available bandwidth and the required audio quality.

• Audio Input

Audio from an external line source can be connected to the terminal I/O of the network camera.

- Input volume:
If there are problems with the sound input being too low or high, it is possible to adjust the
input gain for the microphone attached to the network camera.

• Audio Output

- Enable full duplex:
Check the box to enable Full Duplex mode. I t means that you can transmit and receive audio
(talk and listen) at the same time, without having to use any of the controls. This is just like
having a telephone conversation.

This mode requires that the client PC has a so und card with suppo rt for full-duplex aud io.

Uncheck the box enable Simplex mode. The simplex mode only transmits audio from the
network camera to any web client. It does not receive audio from other web clients.

- Output volume:

value. On the other hand, if a network status is poor, e nter a higher value. When there are
many Network Cameras or users, a higher value may cause a heavy load to the network.
For a detailed setting, please consult with a net work manager.

60

 UPnP

The Network Camera includes support for UPnP™. UPnP™ is enabled by default, and the Network
Camera then is automatically detected by opera ting systems and clients that support this protocol.

Note: UPnP™ must be installed on your workstation if runni ng Windows XP. To do this, open the
Control Panel from the Start Menu and select Add/Remove Programs. Select Add/Remove Windows
Components and open the Networking Services section. Click Details and then select UPnP™ as the
service to add.

61

 QoS

Quality of Service (QoS) provides the means to guarantee a certain level of a specified resource to
selected traffic on a network. Quality can be defined as a maintained level of bandwidth, low latency,
and no packet losses.

The main benefits of a QoS-aware network are:

- The ability to prioritize traf fic and thus allow critical flows to be served before flow s with lesser

priority.

- Greater reliability in the network, thanks to the control of the amount of bandwidth an application

may use, and thus control over bandwidth r aces between applications.

• DSCP Settings

For each type of network traffic supporte d by your network video product, enter a DSCP
(Differentiated Services Code Point) value. This value is used to mark the traffic’s IP header.
When the marked traffic reaches a network router or switch, the DSCP value in the IP header te ll
the router or switch which type of treatment to apply to this type of traffic, for example, how
much bandwidth to reserve for it. Note that DSCP values can be entered in decimal or hex form,
but saved values are always shown in decimal.

The following types of traffic are marked:

- Live Stream DSCP:

- Event/Alarm DSCP:

- Management DSCP:

62

• Auto Traffic Control

Set a limitation on user network resources by designating the m aximum bandwidth.

- Maximum bandwidth: In case of sharing other network programs or equipment, it is

possible to set a limitation on the maximum bandwidth in the unit of Mbit/s or kbit/s.

- Auto frame rate: Selected if not influenced by a network-related program or equipment

without a limitation on the network bandwidth.

 NAT Traversal
A broadband router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the
Internet. This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the “outside”, that is,
the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most broadband routers are
pre-configured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network/Internet.

Use NAT traversal when your network cameras are located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to
make it available from the other (WAN) side of a NAT router. With NAT traversal properly configured,
all HTTP traffic to an external HTTP port in the NAT router is forwarde d to the network camera.

Notes:

- For NAT traversal to work, this must be supported by the broadband router.

- The broadband router has many different names:

“NAT router”, “Network route r“, Internet Gateway”, “Broadband sharing device” or “Home
firewall” but the essential purpose of the device is the same.

63

• NAT traversal Settings

- Enable: when enabled, the network camera attempt to configure port mapping in a

NAT router on your network, using UPnP™. Note that UPnP™ must be enabled in the
Network Camera (see System>Network>UPnP).
* automatic setting: The Network Camera automatically search for NAT routers on your
network.
* manual setting: Select this option to manually select a NAT router and enter the external
port number for the router in the field provided.

Notes:

- If you attempt to manually enter a port that is already in use, an alert message will be displayed.

- When the port is selected automatically it is displayed in this field. To change this enter a new

port number and click Save.

64

 Zeroconfig

Zeroconfig allows the network camera to create and assign IP address for network cameras and
connect to a network automatically.

Zero configuration networking (zeroconf), is a set of techniques that automatically creates a
usable Internet Protocol (IP) network without manual operato r intervention or spe cial configuration
servers.

Zero configuration networking allows devices such as computers and printers to connect to a network
automatically. Without zeroconf, a network administrator must set up services, such as Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS), or configure each computer's
network settings m anually, which may be difficult and time-consuming.

Zeroconf is built on three core technologies:

• Assignment of numeric network addresses for networked devices (link-local address auto

configuration)

• Automatic resolution and distribution of computer hostnames (multicast DN S)

• Automatic locati on of network services, such as printing devices through D NS service discovery.

65

 Bonjour

The network camera includes support for Bonjour. When ena bled, the network camera is
automatically detected by operating systems and clients that support this protocol.

Note: Bonjour - Also known as zero-configuration networking, Bonjour enables devices to
automatically di scover each other on a network, without having to enter IP addresses or configure
DNS servers. Bonjour is a trademark of Apple Computer, Inc.

5) Language

It will be able to select a user language. The type of language it will be able to select is the English,
the French, the German, the Spanish and the Italian.
