Table 3-4IP Network Device Setting Options
OptionDescription
Device NameBy default, the device name is the device type plus the MAC Address. Honeywell
recommends, for security, that you change the device name.
IP AddressThe IP address of the device on the network.The camera obtains an IP address
by static or dynamic (automatic) means. There are two ways: Dynamic
(DHCP/APIPA), which is automatically assigned by the network administrator, or
Static (static), which is assigned by the user.
Subnet MaskThe subnet mask, or netmask, value of the device on the network. IP networks
can be divided into several smaller networks by subnetting. When a network is
subnetted, you must specify a subnet mask, which tells network devices which
smaller network they belong to.
Note If the subnet mask is not properly configured, the camera might not be
able to communicate with other devices on the network.
Default GatewayThe default gateway address that connects the device to the network. Enter the
IP address of the host to use as a gateway between networks. The gateway
allows communication between devices that are on different networks. Without a
correct gateway setting, the camera cannot receive or transmit data from or to
devices that are not in the same network address range.
MAC AddressThe MAC address is a factory-assigned address that is unique for each device.

Compression Settings
The video signal sent from the camera to the web client has a number of settings that can
be edited which affect how the video displays in the web client. The Compression Settings
view enables you to configure these settings:
•Stream Type
•Enable/Disable the Secondary Stream
•Resolution
•Frame Rate
•Priority (Quality, Bit Rate, or Frame Rate)
•Compression Ratio (if Quality is chosen as the priority)
•Target Bit Rate (if Bit Rate or Frame Rate is chosen as the priority)
•Maximum Bit Rate that the camera will provide across the network (if Quality is
chosen as the priority)
Your camera supports simultaneous video streams. The Primary stream delivers H.264
compressed video in real time 30 fps at 1280 x 720 resolution. The Secondary stream
delivers MJPEG compressed video in real time 30 fps at 640 x 360 resolution.

Glossary
AGC (Automatic Gain Control) Video Amplifier in a camera that boosts the amount of
video gain (including the noise) to maintain a 1V p-p (1-volt peak-to-peak) video signal
output. It becomes operational when the light level is low. The circuit is designed to
compensate for fluctuations in scene illumination which would cause the video output
level to be too low. If the video level (scene illumination) is adequate, the circuit does not
apply any gain to the signal. As the video level falls, more gain is applied by the AGC
circuit to the video signal.
ALC (Automatic Light Compensation) Setting in an Auto Iris lens to control the iris
opening.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Allows a server to dynamically assign
IP addresses to nodes (workstations) automatically. Provides client information including
subnetwork mask, gateway address, and DNS (Domain Address Server) addresses.
DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) Reduces the appearance of noise in low-light
DSS might introduce motion blur. The higher the DSS setting, the more likely motion blur
will occur.
ELC (Electronic Light Control) Typically used with manual iris lenses. The image
brightness is controlled electronically by the camera through automatically adjusting
shutter speed for a properly exposed picture.
Flickerless Eliminates the “flicker” that can appear in an image under certain lighting
conditions (for example, fluorescent lighting). This is usually caused by the interaction of
the shutter with the AC frequency of the lighting.
FOV (Field of View) The part of the scene visible with a particular lens. The height
(horizontal) and width (vertical) picture size at a given distance that can be seen through
a lens. Generally, shorter focal length lenses have a wider field of view than those with
longer focal lengths.
Gain The amplification a system provides to a signal.
IP Address A unique, 32-bit identifier for a specific TCP/IP host computer on a network.
Iris Adjust Adjusts the iris to either open or close in response to changing light
conditions.
NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) A standard of specifications for
television transmission in the U.S., Canada, Japan, Central American, and half of South
America. The North American system uses interlaced scans and 525 horizontal lines per
frame at 30 frames per second.

Glossary
PAL (Phase Alternate Line) A standard of specifications for television transmission for
color TV signals used in West Germany, England, Holland, Australia, and several other
countries. It uses an interlaced format with 625 lines per frame at 25 frames per second.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) A method of powering Ethernet-connected devices via the
Ethernet cabling as defined in the IEEE 802.3af standard.
Shutter Speed The speed at which the charge is read out from the imager chip. Adjusts
the light sensitivity of the camera. A faster (briefer) shutter speed can arrest the motion of a
fast moving object (reduce image blur), rendering it sharp. Fast shutter speeds allow less
light to all on the CCD and can darken the image. For fast shutter speeds, ensure there is
adequate lighting. Usually selected using DIP switches on the side of the camera.
Subnet Mask A number used to identify a subnetwork so that an IP address can be shared
on a LAN.
True Day/Night The incorporation of a moving mechanical IR filter within the camera
ensures true 24 hour surveillance, providing high quality color images during the day and
similar quality black & white images at night when used with IR lighting.
UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) These are power supplies used in the majority of
high security systems, whose purpose is to back up the system when the main power fails.
