Product Overview
Introduction
The DCS-3714 HD Day and Night WDR Camera with Lowlight+ is a professional surveillance and security solution for small,
medium, and large enterprises. The DCS-3714 uses a 1.3 megapixel progressive scan CMOS sensor which produces high
quality images with low noise allowing the DCS-3714 to provide outstanding performance with color night vision in low lightconditions, resulting in more vibrant color detail regardless of the amount of light available. The noise reduction feature has
been upgraded and enhanced as well to provide a level of detail in the image quality that is unmatched by other oerings in
the market. In addition, the DCS-3714 has Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) enhancement, users can identify image details in both
extremely bright and dark conditions.
The DCS-3714 has a built-in removable IR-cut lter for day/night functionality which provides clear detail and high quality
video at any hour of the day. The DCS-3714 incorporates Power over Ethernet (PoE) and an SD card slot, allowing it to be
easily installed in a variety of locations. The DCS-3714 input and output ports allow connectivity to external devices such as
IR sensors, switches, and alarm relays. It also comes with an RS-485 interface, providing connectivity to an optional pan/tilt
enclosure which eectively adds pan/tilt functionality to the DCS-3714. An additional 12 V interface provides power for an
optional LED illuminator. This combination of features makes the DCS-3714 a high-performance, reliable and cost-eective
24-hour megapixel surveillance solution.

Features
High-Quality Color Night Vision
The DCS-3714 provides outstanding performance in low light-conditions, resulting in more vibrant color detail regardless of the amount of
lightavailable.
Wide Dynamic Range
Wide Dynamic Range technology corrects imperfect lighting conditions, providing clear images with the right amount of contrast even when a
subject is backlit.
Remote Monitoring Utility
The D-ViewCam application adds enhanced features and functionality for the DCS-3714 and allows administrators to congure and access the
Network Camera from a remote site via Intranet or Internet. Other features include image monitoring, recording images to a hard drive, viewing
up to 32 cameras on one screen, and taking snapshots.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) for Streamlined Installation
The DCS-3714 can get all the power it needs from a PoE switch or PoE injector, for a simple and clutter-free installation.
All-Day Surveillance with low light color image capability
The built-in Sony sensor allows you to monitor an area during the night with full color images. The DCS-3714 provides clear detail and high quality
video at any hour of the day by automatically adjusting its a built-in removable IR-cut lter.
Add External Controls or Devices
An integrated RS-485 interface provides connectivity to an optional pan/tilt enclosure which eectively adds pan/tilt functionality to the DCS-3714
while input and output ports allow connectivity to external devices such as IR sensors, switches, and alarm relays..

In a typical application, when motion is detected, the DCS-3714 Network Camera sends images to a FTP server or via e-mail as
notications. As shown in the illustration below, an event can be triggered by many sources, such as motion detection or external digital
input devices. When an event is triggered, a specied action will be performed. You can congure the Network Camera to send snapshots
or videos to your e-mail address or FTP site.
To start plotting an event, it is suggested to congure server and media columns rst so that the Network Camera will know what action
shall be performed when a trigger is activated.

RS-485
You may congure the RS-485 settings or communication specications (baud rate, data bit, stop bit, and parity bit) for your camera.
RS-485 is a serial communication method for computers and devices. RS-485 is used to control a PAN/TILT apparatus, such as an
external camera enclosure.

Stop Bit:
When Support PAN-TILT is enabled, a control panel will be
displayed on the Live Video page allowing control through RS-485
for an external camera enclosure.
Select one protocol type from the pull-down menu.
This ID is the identier for RS-485 devices. IDs range from 1 to 255.
Baud Rate is a speed measurement for communication between a
transmitter and receiver which indicates the number of bit transfers
per second. A higher baud rate will reduce the distance of the
two devices (transmitter and receiver). Values range from 2400
(default) to 19200 bps.
This value is the number of data bits in a transmission. The data bit
can be 7 or 8 (default).
Parity is a form of error checking used in serial communication. For
even and odd parities, the serial port sets the parity bit (the last bit
after the data bits) to a value to ensure that the transmission has
an even or odd number of logic-high bits. For example, if the data is
011, for even parity, the parity bit is 0 to keep the number of logichigh bits even. If the parity is odd, the parity bit is 1, resulting in 3
logic-high bits. Parity can be set to No (none), Even, and Odd.
The stop bit is used to signal the end of communication for a
single packet. The more bits used for stop bits, the greater the
lenience in synchronizing the different clocks but the slower the
data transmission rate. The stop bit can be set to 1 or 2. The default
value is 1.
