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 mini PTZ camera.

 PTZ Limits

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

 Scan Modes

The mini PTZ camera provides 5 scan modes: auto scan, tilt scan, frame scan, random scan and

panorama scan.

 Presets

A preset is a predefined image position. When the preset is called, the mini 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 mini PTZ camera name

can be displayed on the monitor. The displays of time and mini PTZ camera name can be

programmed.

 Auto Flips

In manual tracking mode, when a target object goes directly beneath the mini PTZ camera, the

video will automatically flips 180 degrees in horizontal direction to maintain continuity of tracking.

This function can also be realized by auto mirror image depending on different camera models.

 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

In the client software, use the left key of mouse to click on the desired position in the video

User Manual of E Series Network Mini PTZ camera

image and drag a rectangle area in the lower right direction, then the mini PTZ camera system

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 mini PTZ cameras deliver color images during the day. And as light diminishes at night, the

mini PTZ cameras switch 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.

 W ide 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 mini 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.

 Patrol

A patrol is a memorized series of pre-defined preset function. The scanning speed between two

presets and the dwell time at the preset are programmable.

 Pattern

A pattern is a memorized series of pan, tilt, zoom, and preset functions. By default the focus and

iris are in auto status during the pattern is being memorized.

Pattern function varies depending on mini PTZ camera models.

 Power Off Memory

The mini PTZ camera supports the power off memory capability with the predefined resume time.

It allows the mini PTZ camera to resume its previous position after power is restored.

User Manual of E Series Network Mini PTZ camera

 Scheduled Task

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

time. The programmable actions include: auto scan, random scan, patrol 1-8 ,pattern 1-4, preset

1-8,frame scan, panorama scan, tilt scan, day, night, reboot, PT adjust, Aux Output, etc.

 Park Action

This feature allows the mini PTZ camera to start a predefined action automatically after a period

of inactivity.

 User Management

The mini PTZ camera allows you to edit users with different levels of permission, in the admin

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.

Configuring 802.1X Settings

Purpose:

The mini PTZ camera supports IEEE 802.1X standard.

IEEE 802.1X is a port-based network access control. It enhances the security level of the LAN.

When devices connect to this network with IEEE 802.1X standard, the authentication is needed. If

the authentication fails, the devices don’t connect to the network.

The protected LAN with 802.1X standard is shown as follows:

Figure 6-19 Protected LAN

 Before connecting the Network Camera to the protected LAN, please apply a digital

certificate from a Certificate Authority.

 The network camera requests access to the protected LAN via the authenticator (a

switch).

 The switch forwards the identity and password to the authentication server (RADIUS

server).

 The switch forwards the certificate of authentication server to the network camera.  If all the information is validated, the switch allows the network access to the protected

network.

 For your privacy and to better protect your system against security risks, we strongly

User Manual of E Series Network Mini PTZ camera

 Proper configuration of all passwords and other security settings is the responsibility of the

installer and/or end-user.

Steps:
