Came ra Angle

Change the orientation of the image to 90°、180°、270° or normal.

3D DNR

3D-Noise Ratio: if Enabled, may decrease the noise of the image.

LUX

Adjust Illuminance value, the bigger the number the easier to trigger the infrared. Set to

“0”

to turn off the IR lights and set to“9”to keep the IR lights always on.

De-war pin g

Refers to the process of perspective correction of an image, to reverse the effects of
geometric distortions caused by the camera lens. Most commonly known as a“Fisheye

”

and/or “360º” device.

Led inten sity

Adjust the intensity of LED lights. Set to “0” to turn off the LED lights. The bigger the
number the stronger the intensity.

Expo sure Mod e

 Auto: Select the exposure level of the camera based on pre-defined conditions.

 Manual: Adjust shutter speed and gain value of the camera manually.

shutte r

Known as“exposure time”, stands for the length of time a camera shutter is open to
expose light into the camera sensor. If the shutter speed is fast, it can help to freeze
action completely. If the shutter speed is slow, it can create an effect called “motion
blur”, where moving objects appear blurred along the direction of the motion. This effect
is used quite a bit in advertisements of cars and motorbikes, where a sense of speed and
motion is communicated to the viewer by intentionally blurring the moving wheels.

BLC Mode

 Turning on the Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) feature for photos improves the overall

exposure throughout your entire image. It enables the camera to pick up greater
detail in dark shadows, while making sure that the highlights don't get blown-out.

 Digital wide dynamic range (D-WDR) is a software-based technique that optimizes

image quality by adjusting the gamma (γ) value to enhance dark areas.

 Back-light Compensation (BLC) optimizes exposure in the foreground and

background of security video. It splits the video scene into different regions and
uses a different exposure for each of these regions. It corrects regions with
extremely high or low levels of light to maintain a normal and usable level of light
for the object in focus.

 Highlight Compensation (HLC) senses strong sources of light in video and

compensates for exposure on these spots to enhance the overall quality.

FLC

 50Hz ：In the case of 50Hz, according to the brightness of the scene, the exposure is

automatically adjusted to ensure that the image does not appear horizontal stripes

 60Hz: In the case of 50Hz, according to the brightness of the scene, the exposure

is automatically adjusted to ensure that the image does not appear horizontal
stripes

 Outd oor ：In this mode, the mode of exposure mode can be changed to achieve the

effect of the corresponding exposure mode

FLC： Outdoor /50 Hz/ 60Hz opt ional， defau lt mode is Outdoor

Day/Ni ght

 Colo r：Only display co lor image

 B/W：On ly display black/white image

 Auto ： Display col or or B/W image accordin g to CDS(l ux va lue )

 Time： Disp lay col or or B/W image according to setti ng time

Day /Ni ght ：Color/B& W/auto/time optional. For non -IR ip cam era, default mode

Step1 Select“ Settings > Netwo rk > TCP/IP” . See pic ture bel ow fo r refe rence :

Step2 TCP/ IP Pa ra meters.
Step 3. Click“Save”to complete TCP/IP configuration.

DHCP

Enab le or Disable DHC P

 Enable DHCP: DHCP is a system where one device on your network (usually a

router) will automatically assign IP address to device connected to the network.

 Disable DHCP(Static): Static networks require all devices to have their IP addresses

manually defined, as there is no device dedicated to automatically assign IP
address.

IPv4 /IPv6
Address

 Just as Home and Office needs to have an address which identifies their location on

the road network. The camera uses IPv4 addressing, which consists of four groups
of numbers between 0 and 255, separated by periods. For example, a typical IP
address might be “192.168.1.37”or similar.

 The length of the IPv6 address is 128 bits, which is four times the length of the IPv4

address, expressed in hexadecimal and separated by colons. For example, a typical
IP address can be "2001: 250: 3000: 1 :: 1: 7 "or similar.

IPv4 Subnet

 If the IP address is like a street address, then a sub-network is like your

neighborhood.

 This will be formatted in a similar way to the IP address (ie. four numbers up to 255

separated by periods) but contain very different numbers.

 In the above example, the Subnet might be something like:“255.255.255.0”.

Gateway

 This is the address of the “way to the Internet.” To continue the road analogy, this is

like your local access point to the highway. This is an IP address in the same format
as the others, and is typically very similar to the IP address of the Camera.

 To continue the above example, it might be something such as:“192.168.1.1”.

DNS

Set DNS server address

MAC Addre ss

The Media Access Control address. This is a unique code which nothing else should
share. You can’t change this one - it’s pre-set when the Camera is manufactured.

Http Port

 This is the port through which you will be able to log in to the Camera. It will need

to be forwarded properly in order to ensure smooth, latency-free communication.

 The default value is“80”, if another device on your network is using this port,

please change to other value.

 This is the port number you’ll need to remember when logging in remotely from a

remote PC via the HTTP interface.
ie. http://ip:port

(http://56.236.333.237:80)

Onvif Port

 ONVIF protocol communication port.

 The default value is “85”

RTSPPort

“Real Time Streaming Protocol”, you may use this port to send the streaming file

 The default RTSP port is 554

Main Stream path example
rtsp://192.168.0.83:554/H264?channel=0&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif

Sub Stream path example

rtsp://192.168.0.83:554/H264?channel=0&subtype=1&unicast=true&proto=Onvif

4.4.1 Motion Detection

How Motion Detection Works?

The way that the Camera detects motion is quite straight forward - it’s a process where it compares one frame
with the next. A certain amount of“difference”between these two“frames”is interpreted as motion.
As a result, the Camera is able to detect when there is a change in the picture. However, this does not necessarily
need to be something moving in the frame.
For example, a light being turned on or off, a lightning flash or even the sun coming out momentarily on a cloudy
day might be enough to trigger the motion detection on the Camera. However, as these events last only a
moment (and are relatively rare) they will only create a few redundant clips, which will not take up too much
space or pose a problem with scanning through footage.

Glossary of Terms

1 WDR

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) is the technique aim to reproduce a similar range of luminance through
adapting to the different exposure level presented in the environment, by collecting two different level of
exposure of the same picture twice and combining them. The WDR feature will allow the dark area to be
brighter and darken over-expose area, allowing detail other-wise dampened by over-exposure (glare) and
under-exposure.

2 DWDR

With the same aim as WDR, DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range) adjust the exposure by digitally adjusting
the contrast and gamma value of the picture, reducing the effect of glare. Unlike WDR is done by the hardware,
DWDR may cause the picture to appear washed-out.

3 BLC

BLC (Backlight Compensation) increase the overall exposure of the entire picture to reduce the contrast
between the background and the main interest area. The overall viewable area will improve but area with
brightly-lit area will be overexposed.

4 HLC

HLC (Highlight Compensation) reduce the overall exposure in the main interest area to reduce the effect of
strong light. It is the reverse of BLC because HLC target the lighting generated in the main interest area.

5 3DNR

3DNR (3D Noise Reduction) is the technique used to reduce video noise by analyzing and compare the
difference between each successive frames in order to adjust video pixel. With 3DNR, there will be a trade-off
between video crisp and motion blur.

6 IPv6

IPv6 is the next version of IP (Internet Protocol), the communication protocol that provides an identification
and location system for traffic-routing across the networks. It is designed by IETF (Internet Engineering Task
Force) to replace IPv4 in the anticipation of IPv4 address exhaustion.

7 FTP

FTP (File transfer Protocol) is a protocol used to transfer files between two end-points (computers) on a
network. FTP is an application that exists in different operation system which follows the same set of standard
for file transportation, allowing file transfer across different platforms.

8 DHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol that allows a server (in most cases, a
router/modem) to automatically assign an IP address to a connected device from a defined range of IP numbers.
DHCP allows a uniformly assigned network environment across different devices.

9 DDNS

DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is a system to automatically update the client’s dynamic IP address

to a static domain name, thus allow a consistent connection without the need to check dynamic IP address. The
update client will send the IP address in real time, based on a predefined interval, to a server hosting the static
domain name, which in term allows other domain name server to acknowledge the new IP address, without the
need to manually changing the record.

10 PPPOE

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a network protocol for encapsulating Point-to-Point
Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames. It is used mainly with DSL services where individual users connect
to a DSL modem over Ethernet.

11 RTSP

RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) is a network protocol designed to allow system to control streaming
media servers and is used to establish and control media session between two end-points over TCP/IP.

12 ONV IF

ONVIF is the global and open industry standard for interfacing between video surveillance product and
other physical security areas. The standard defines device discoveries, live video and audio standard, bit rate,
and controls, ensuring compatibility between different manufacturer.

13 H26 5

H.265 is the successor to the H.264 video encoding standard. The aim for H.265 is to improve bit rate, video
quality, and overall video performance. Compare to H.264, H.265 only needs half of the require data to achieve
the same video quality as H.264.

14 HTTPS

HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) is the secure version of HTTP, the protocol which data is sent
between browser and the website connected to. The 'S' at the end of HTTPS stands for 'Secure'. It means all
communications between your browser and the website are encrypted using SSL.
