Chapter 1 Overview

1.1 System Requirement

System requirement of web browser accessing is as follows: Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP SP1 and above version / Vista / Win7 / Server 2003 / Server 2008 32bits

CPU: Intel Pentium IV 3.0 GHz or higher RAM: 1G or higher Display: 1024×768 resolution or higher Web Browser: Internet Explorer 8.0 and above version, Apple Safari 5.02 and above

version, Mozilla Firefox 5 and above version and Google Chrome 18 and above versions.

1.2 Functions

The functions vary depending on the models of PTZ camera.

 Limit Stops

The PTZ camera can be programmed to move within the limit stops (left/right, up/down).

 Preset Freezing

This feature freezes the scene on the monitor when the PTZ camera is moving to a preset. This allows for smooth transition from one preset scene to another. It also guarantees that masked area will not be revealed when the PTZ camera is moving to a preset.

 Presets

A preset is a predefined image position. When the preset is called, the PTZ camera will automatically move to the defined position. The presets can be added, modified, deleted and called.

 Label Display

The on-screen label of the preset title, azimuth/elevation, zoom, time and PTZ camera name can be displayed on the monitor. The displays of time and PTZ camera name can be programmed.

 Privacy Mask

This function allows you to block or mask certain area of a scene, for preventing the personal privacy from recording or live viewing. A masked area will move with pan and tilt functions and automatically adjust in size as the lens zooms telephoto and wide.

 3D Positioning

User Manual of Network Mini PTZ Camera

In the client software, use the left key of mouse to click on the desired position in the video image and drag a rectangle area in the lower right direction, then the camera will move the position to the center and allow the rectangle area to zoom in. Use the left key of mouse to drag a rectangle area in the upper left direction to move the position to the center and allow the rectangle area to zoom out.

 Proportional Pan/Tilt

Proportional pan/tilt automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds according to the amount of zoom. At telephoto zoom settings, the pan and tilt speeds will be slower than at wide zoom settings. This keeps the image from moving too fast on the live view image when there is a large amount of zoom.

 Auto Focus

The auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video images.

 Day/Night Auto Switch

The PTZ camera delivers color images during the day. And as light diminishes at night, the PTZ camera switches to night mode and deliver black and white images with high quality.

 Slow Shutter

In slow shutter mode, the shutter speed will automatically slow down in low illumination conditions to maintain clear video images by extending the exposure time. The feature can be enabled or disabled.

 Backlight Compensation (BLC)

If you focus on an object against strong backlight, the object will be too dark to be seen clearly. The BLC (Backlight Compensation) function can compensate light to the object in the front to make it clear, but this causes the over-exposure of the background where the light is strong.

 Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

The wide dynamic range (WDR) function helps the camera provide clear images even under back light circumstances. When there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of view, WDR balances the brightness level of the whole image and provide clear images with details.

This feature varies depending on PTZ camera models.

 White Balance (WB)

White balance can remove the unrealistic color casts. White balance is the white rendition function of the camera to adjust the color temperature according to the environment automatically.

 Power Off Memory

The PTZ camera supports the power off memory capability with the predefined resume time. It allows the PTZ camera to resume its previous position after power is restored.

 Time Task

A time task is a preconfigured action that can be performed automatically at a

User Manual of Network Mini PTZ Camera

specific date and time. The programmable actions include: preset 1-8, day, night, reboot, PT adjust, Alarm output, etc.

 Park Action

This feature allows the PTZ camera to start a predefined action automatically after a period of inactivity.

 User Management

The PTZ camera allows you to edit users with different levels of permission, in the admin login status. Multiple users are allowed to access and control the same network PTZ camera via network simultaneously.

 3D Digital Noise Reduction

Comparing with the general 2D digital noise reduction, the 3D digital noise reduction function processes the noise between two frames besides processing the noise in one frame. The noise will be much less and the video will be clearer.

 Dual-VCA

Combine the detected moving objects into the video stream, which can be used for the second-time analysis on the back-end device.

Purpose:

The setting of the wireless network connection is never easy. To avoid the complex setting of the wireless connection you can enable the WPS function. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) refers to the easy configuration of the encrypted connection between the device and the wireless router. The WPS makes it easy to add new devices to an existing network without entering long passphrases. There are two modes of the WPS connection, the PBC mode and the PIN mode.

If you enable the WPS function, you do not need to configure the parameters

such as the encryption type and you do not need to know the key of the wireless connection.

Steps:

Figure 4-9 Wi-Fi Settings - WPS

PBC Mode:

PBC refers to the Push-Button-Configuration, in which the user simply has to push a button, either an actual (refer to the installation manual) or virtual one (as the

button on the configuration interface of the web browser), on both the

Access Point (and a registrar of the network) and the new wireless client device.
