1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Welcome

This manual explains how to interface with the H.264 codec supporting IP camera series using the Microsoft® Internet Explorer web browser. The Web Page of the product has been implemented with the protocols below:

 HTTP API – Parameter configuration commands  RTP/RTSP – Video, Audio, and Metadata Streaming  Active X program – Image display on client PC

1.2. Getting Started

Before utilizing the web interface, install and connect the camera and other physical devices. Refer to the hardware manual supplied for the product installation steps. The installation manual provides detailed information for installation and configuration of the device.

1.3. IP Address Setting

How to find the IP Address of your device:

The product has its unique IP address, and users can identify the address by converting the MAC address’ last two digits of hexadecimal numbers described on the sticker that is attached to the device. Refer to the following figure, and convert the MAC address to an IP address. Type the identified IP address in the address bar of the Internet Explorer to access the web page of the product.

MAC address = 00-1C-B8-01-23-45 → IP address = 192.168.35.69

Convert the last two sets of hexadecimal numbers to decimal numbers.

How to change the default IP address:

IPAdminTool software allows users to search and change the IP address of connected devices. The figure below shows a main UI of the IPAdminTool. The IPAdminTool helps to search multiple devices. Please refer to the ‘IPAdminTool User’s Manual.pdf’ for the detailed information and its usage.

What is IPAdminTool?

IPAdminTool automatically scans all of the products including encoders and cameras on the network and displays product’s information, including product name, IP address, MAC address, firmware information, and devices’ uptime. The tool also allows users to change the IP address or update the firmware. It is highly recommended for users to review before using this tool for better understanding the software functions and administration controls.

Limitation of the concurrent clients

Depending on streaming configurations and settings, simultaneous connections might reach the limitation due to system maxed-out capability.

 RTSP Streaming, Unicast: Heavily depends on the maximum throughput in a given time.

Exposure

Exposure mode

Selecting the right exposure control mode depends on the installation site’s environment. Three modes are available;

- Auto: This mode tries to adjust the shutter speed automatically depending on the light

condition within the range from the user configured max exposure time (minimum shutter speed) to the user configured min exposure time (maximum shutter speed). Otherwise, the shutter speed will vary within the camera’s default values.

- Manual: If the auto mode doesn’t work properly or you want to fix the shutter speed, you

may set the shutter speed manually.

PixelPro GXi Series Web Page User’s Manual V1.12.0.8

07-2017-A 24

- Flickerless: Flicker may occur under florescent lights. If you intend to reduce light flicker on

the image, select this mode between the two option (50Hz or 60Hz) depending on country.

Maximum AGC*

Set the maximum value from 0 to 100 according to your decision.

*AGC (Auto Gain Control)

It maintains appropriate exposure on the image by automatically adjusting gain under low light condition. When gain is increased noise and bitrate are elevated as well. Thus, users may need to set the maximum of AGC (Range 0~100) while considering the prevention of the excessive increase of noise and data size.

Exposure adjustment

Correct exposure value should be selected from the list box to adjust the target brightness for the automatic exposure setting. The high value makes the image brighter, and the low value makes the image darker. Select the value from the following options: +1.0, +0.6, +0.3, 0, –0.3, –0.6, –1.0(EV)

Backlight compensation (BLC) allows the camera to control the exposure level of the entire image to properly expose the subject in the foreground.

Digital slow shutter allows to get the proper exposure in low light condition even the frame rate may be dropped. Turn on or off the digital slow shutter depending on your needs.

IR enables to adjust the IR power output depending on the surrounding light conditions. It also eliminates overexposure if a subject is detected closer to the camera.

- ON (Smart IR): This mode automatically adjusts the pre-defined levels of the IR power

output with the range of 0 to 255.

- Manual: Users can manually set a static level of the IR power output with the range of 0 to

255.

- Off: This mode makes the camera’s IR LEDs turned off.

Note

IR feature is available only for the specific camera models equipped with IR LEDS.

Note

Exposure is not available in the thermal camera models.

Gain Control – For Thermal Cameras

PixelPro GXi Series Web Page User’s Manual V1.12.0.8

07-2017-A 25

You can adjust the brightness of the thermal image. The Gain Control tab is equivalent to the Exposure tab for the non-thermal cameras. Various Modes for Gain Control

The options to adjust the defog level may not be supported on some camera models.

Video Stabilization

Video Stabilization is used to keep the image stable against camera sway and other unwanted camera movement. Video stabilization can be enabled / disabled independently for each individual stream. In order to keep the output frames steady and aligned to a reference frame, the output frames are shifted with respect to the input frames. As the camera moves around, the output frames are shifted to keep the image features aligned with previous frames. This results in areas for which there is no image data available. The Border In-fill option controls what happens to those areas that do not contain any image data. There are three options available:

- dynamic: The borders uniformly expand and contract in real-time in response to the

amount of camera motion.

- fixed: A fixed size black border is present on all sides which blanks out the moving edges of

the image. The size of the borders is equal to the maximum frame shift.

- none: Regions of the output image for which there is no available data are filled with black.

Note

The performance of the stabilization may be limited due to the characteristic of image sensor. The performance is optimized in the frequency range of 1-5 Hz.

How to draw the privacy mask above

Let’s suppose there is an object you want to hide inside the privacy mask zone. The center of the camera is located at the coordinate, (50, 45) of pan and tilt, and the horizontal and vertical view angles are 60 and 35 respectively.

1. Let’s define the initial point to cover the object.

The object is away toward the right by 1/4 horizontally and on the same line vertically from the center. Thus, the values of the initial point are 57.5 and 45, which are respectively P value and T value.

2. To fully cover the object horizontally, there needs to be two squares from the red

point(P,T) to the right, whose width is 2/4(=15). Therefore the W value is 15.

3. To fully cover the object vertically, there needs to be one square downward from the

red point (P,T), whose height is 1/2(=8.75). Therefore the H value is 8.75.

The default value of web server is set to HTTP. To change its setting from HTTP to HTTPS, select HTTPS from the menu. It is recommended if enhanced security is required for accessing the web page. The data transmitted by HTTPS is encrypted by SSL to strengthen the security.

What is SSL? SSL is the abbreviation of Secure Socket Layer. SSL protects web server and makes it easy for users to trust the contents. When HTTPS is being utilized to communicate with a server, the SSL certificate is required for the web server and the certificate enables encryption of video and audio data during online transactions. OpenSSL is one of the data security protocols for Linux system, which is used for the product.

Setting the port number of web server To communicate with server by HTTP or HTTPS with TCP, the port number should be in between 1 and 65535. The default value is 80.

Redirecting HTTP to HTTPS

Even when a user tries to access the server with http, it is possible to enable the server to be

redirected to HTTPS. In this case, do not set the value ‘80’ as the port number since it may

cause a conflict with HTTP port.

RTSP configuration for MULTICAST

IP Address

In order to receive the streaming data from the device, set the IP address of group which is used for PC to join. ‘0,0,0,0’ is configured as a factory default and it enables router program to generate the available IP for the device automatically. If you want to use specific address, type the address in the blank. Available IP address range is from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. However, there are already assigned IP addresses in the range. Please refer to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5771 for further detail.

Note

RTP multicast is not allowed for streaming even if the address and the port information are known.

How does auto configuration of IP address work?

As the session name for each RTP session is defined already on the server, your PC can get the stream by the ‘rtsp:// rtsp server IP address: port / rtp session name’ without the manual decision of IP address on the webpage.

Port

Set the port number used for router to receive the streaming data from the product (No need for unicast). The range of the port numbers is from 1 to 65535. Be sure that there are specific port numbers that you cannot use as they are already assigned to other necessary protocols. * Default port number for each stream for each data is pre-defined on the textbox of the webpage, but users can set the numbers within the port range.

TTL

Set the TTL value. If you set 1 for TTL, it means the packet will pass only in a subnet (No need for unicast).

What is TTL?

It’s the abbreviation of Time to live. If data is sent out from the encoder via network and all of the packets are alive permanently on the network, it will cause the big network load. TTL helps reduce the network load by controlling the time of staying on network. For example, if you set the TTL as 50, the data will be deleted after passing by 50 routers.

Note

All other options are the same as the Unicast.
