Overview

GANZ’s outdoor day/night network camera ZN-BT3312 is equipped with a wide dynamic range CMOS sensor to cope with any challenging lighting conditions� Designed for outdoor 24-hour surveillance, ZN-BT3312 features the basics of day and night and vandal-proof functions that users can easily build up a cost-effective IP surveillance system without additional accessories� With a removable IR-cut filter and built-in IR illuminators, up to

15m, it can automatically remove the lter and turn on the IR illuminators during the nighttime to

accept IR illumination for low light sensitivity� Meanwhile, the IP66-rated integrated housing shields this camera from dust and water, allowing it to be applied in harsh weather conditions of outdoor environments� ZN-BT3312 with WDR (Wide dynamic range) feature can be very helpful to cope with very challenging lighting conditions� It is capable of capturing both of the dark part and bright part and combining the differences into a scene to generate a highly realistic image as the original scene� Because it preserves as much information in the video as possible, ZN-BT3312 helps provide video quality closer to the capabilities of the human eye� Consequently, it is largely applied in highly contrast environments such as lobby entrances, parking lots, ATM, loading areas and much more� Incorporating numbers of advanced features including simultaneous dual streams, 802�3af compliant PoE, two-way audio by SIP protocol, RS-485 interface for scanners or pan/tilts driver connection, and HTTPS encrypted data transmission, GANZ ZN-BT3312 allows users to boost your robust IP surveillance system by reproducing clear images in proper color in extreme highcontrast environments for your indoor/outdoor security and monitoring applications�

Read Before Use

The use of surveillance devices may be prohibited by law in your country� The Network Camera

is not only a high-performance web-ready camera but also can be part of a exible surveillance

system� It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the operation of such devices is legal before installing this unit for its intended use�

It is important to rst verify that all contents received are complete according to the Package

Stream Options

The Network Camera supports MPEG-4 and MJPEG dual streams� For more information, please refer to Video Settings on page 35�

MPEG-4 Media Options

Select to stream video or audio data� This works only when the video mode is set to MPEG-4�

MPEG-4 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of MPEG-4 streaming:

UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams� However, network

packets may be lost due to network burst trafc and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection

when occasions require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less important� Note that each unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the Network Camera allows up to ten simultaneous accesses�

UDP multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all clients requesting streaming media� This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the Network Camera

while serving multiple clients at the same time. Note that to utilize this feature, the Network Camera must

be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time� For more information, please refer to RTSP Streaming on page 30�

User's Manual - 19

TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video quality� Nevertheless, the downside with this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol�

HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and you don’t need to open specic port

for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a rewall can utilize this protocol to allow

streaming data to come through�

MP4 Saving Options

Users can record the live video as they are watching it by clicking Start MP4 Recording on
