Electrical Safety Notice and Warnings

viii

Document Information

Minimizing EMI and RFI

When wires run for a significant distance in an electromagnetic field, electromagnetic interference (EMI)
can occur. Strong EMI (e.g. lightning or radio transmitters) can destroy the units and can pose an electrical
hazard by conducting power through lines and into the system. Poor quality or worn wiring can result in
radio frequency interference (RFI). To minimize the effects of EMI and RFI, consult your reseller.

Site Preparation

There are several requirements that should be properly addressed prior to installation at the site. The
following specifications are requirements for proper installation and operation of the unit:

 Ambient Environment Conditions: Avoid positioning the unit near heaters or heating system

outputs. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Use proper maintenance to ensure that the unit is free
from dust, dirt, smoke, particles, chemicals, smoke, water or water condensation, and exposure to
EMI.

 Accessibility: The location used should allow easy access to unit connections and cables.
 Safety: Cables and electrical cords should be routed in a manner that prevents safety hazards,

such as from tripping, wire fraying, overheating, etc. Ensure that nothing rests on the unit’s cables

or power cords.

 Ample Air Circulation: Leave enough space around the unit to allow free air circulation.
 Cabling Considerations: Units should be placed in locations that are optimal for the type

of video cabling used between the unit and the cameras and external devices. Using a
cable longer than the manufacturer’s specifications for optimal video signal may result in
degradation of color and video parameters.

 Physical Security: The unit provides threat detection for physical security systems. In order to

ensure that the unit cannot be disabled or tampered with, the system should be installed with
security measures regarding physical access by trusted and un-trusted parties.

 Network Security: The unit transmits over IP to security personnel for video surveillance. Proper

network security measures should be in place to assure networks remain operating and free from
malicious interference. The unit is intended for installation on the backbone of a trusted network.

 Electrostatic Safeguards: The unit as well as other equipment connected to it (relay outputs,

alarm inputs, racks, carpeting, etc.) shall be properly grounded to prevent electrostatic discharge.

The physical installation of the unit is the first phase of making the unit operational in a security plan. The
goal is to physically place the unit, connect it to other devices in the system, and to establish network
connectivity.

(4CIF), or 640*480 (VGA). The default is 1280*720P.

 For NTSC systems: 1280*960 (SXGA) 1280*720P (HD 720p/WXGA), 704*480

(4CIF), or 640*480 (VGA). The default is 1280*720P.

For the Sub Stream:

 For PAL systems: 704*576 (4CIF), 352*288 (CIF), or 320*240 (QVGA). The

default is 704*576.

 For NTSC systems: 704*480 (4CIF), 352*240 (CIF), or 320*240 (QVGA). The

default is 704*480.

33

Ariel CM-3011 Mini-Dome Camera User and Installation Guide

Note:

The video standard (PAL or NTSC) can be changed on the Configuration > Basic
Configuration > Image screen. See section 6.4.2.4, Image (page 35).

Note:

Not all Video Management Systems support all video formats.

Note:

An I-Frame (Intra-coded Frame) is a static image file (frame), used as a reference
for efficient H.264 video compression. Transmitted video frames are compared to
the I-Frame as they are transmitted. Video quality is higher when the interval
between I-Frames is shorter, but the video needs more network capacity. When
the interval between I-Frames is longer, the video transmission uses less
bandwidth, but the video quality is lower.

3. From the Bitrate Type drop-down list, select Variable or Constant. The default is Variable.

 Constant Bit Rate (CBR) is used for setting a constant, maximum bit rate. CBR is

not optimal for storage or quality, because it does not allocate enough data for
complex sections (which results in degraded quality), and wastes data on
simple sections. Choosing a higher bit rate results in better quality, but requires
more storage.

 Variable Bit Rate (VBR) files vary the amount of data per time segment. VBR

enables a higher bit rate (and therefore requires more storage space) for more
complex video or audio, while a lower bit rate and less storage space is
allocated to less complex media. VBR files may take longer to encode and
might be more problematic for streaming if the maximum bit rate is not set
high enough to allow for high instantaneous bit rates.

4. From the Video Quality drop-down list, select Lowest, Lower, Low, Medium, Higher, or Highest. The

default is Lower. This parameter can be set only in the case of Variable Bit Rate.

5. From the Frame Rate drop-down list, select the number of frames per second (FPS) from 1/16 to

22. The higher the FPS, the smoother the motion in the video. The maximum frame rate (25 for a
PAL system or 30 for an NTSC system) is displayed by default.

6. In the Max. Bitrate text box, enter the maximum bit rate in Kbps (≤ 8,192 Kbps). The higher the bit

rate, the better the image quality. This is especially helpful for allowing high instantaneous bit rates
when using VBR. A higher bit rate consumes more storage space, however. The default is 2048.

7. In the Video Encoding drop-down list, for the Sub Stream you may select the video compression

format (H.264 or MJPEG) according to the required image quality and storage limitations. The
default is H.264. The Main Stream always uses H.264 compression.

8. Set the I Frame Interval between 1-400. The default is 25 for a PAL system and 30 for an NTSC

system (one I-Frame transmitted every second).

9. Click Save.

6.4.3.2.7 QoS

QoS (Quality of Service) helps to solve network delay and network congestion by configuring the priority in
which data is sent. A QoS-aware network can thus allow critical flows to be served before flows with lower
priority. The higher the value that is entered, the higher the priority.

The camera can mark the IP header in the data packets for video/audio, event/alarm and management
network traffics with different DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) values. The DSCP value defines the
priority level for the specified type of traffic. It is important to synchronize the camera’s QoS setting with
the network routers’ QoS setting.
